Corporate Sustainability

Sustainability reporting: Sustainability initiatives become measurable and transparent across the entire infrastructure. Use the preconfigured analytics dashboard to evaluate Scope 3 emissions, for greater transparency, compliance, and future-ready infrastructure decisions.
Integration of EPD data: By integrating Environmental Product Declarations, or EPDs, in accordance with ISO 14025, you gain a reliable foundation for transparent sustainability management. Standardized information on EPD data sources and localization enables better comparison of devices, including region-specific insights.

Integration of Monitoring Data

FNT Infrastructure Element Health: Health information from monitoring systems such as Paessler PRTG is displayed directly within the Command interface, providing a consolidated view of the current status of each element. This allows you to quickly identify critical conditions and generate meaningful health reports.

FNT Process Center

Deeper integration with FNT Command: Workflows can be started directly from Command objects. Requests can be linked to Command objects, making relationships between requests and objects transparent.
Customizable tAptos (Textkörper)emplate selection: Configurable work order templates simplify the interface and speed up operations.

Telco

Network planning: Bearers can now be flexibly relocated directly in planning mode, including adjustments to start and end points.
IP-Based service representation: Link IP-based services precisely with logical ports for an accurate representation of the network structure.
Improved search options: New filtering functions make it easier to find suitable devices when provisioning services.
Connected service report: The enhanced report allows you to generate outage and redundancy scenarios directly from devices or connected objects such as zones, cables, services, and ports.
Excel import: An Excel-based import function enables easy administration of service type hierarchies, ideal for fast and efficient configuration of even complex network structures.

Cable and Outside Plant Management

Patch cables in inventory: Manage patch cables in storage for more sustainable resource usage and reuse them when needed.
Single side/non-connected cables: Flexible documentation and visualization for single side and unconnected cables.
Change history tracking: Complete documentation of changes to connections and port usage.
Extended visualization: Customize conductor/bundle icons and visualize wire colors.
Couplers: Assign couplers to nodes such as manholes for improved flexibility.
Junction boxes: Greater flexibility when handling uncut fibers in the junction box and the option to export standardized splice plans.
Enhanced signal tracing: Display sub-modules to set the display to required views, improving usability.

Power Management

Realistic power distribution visualization: New schematic views with vertical circuit breakers reflect real-world layouts. 
Improved terminology: Fixes for international usability.

Tray Management

Cable length calculation: Cable lengths are automatically calculated based on tray section routes, even without complete documentation, for practical planning.
Splitting ducts and tray sections: New ruleset simplify splitting ducts and tray sections, improving the consistency of documented data.

Additional Enhancements in FNT GeoMaps 4.8

Tray management: Multi-ducts can be opened and visualized in real context on the map. Duct-related attributes can also be displayed directly in GeoMaps.
Improved usability: Features such as bookmarks and adjustable sidebars simplify daily work.
Health check: Checks GeoMaps servers, ArcGIS components, and Command for connectivity, resource usage, licensing, and version compatibility, simplifying troubleshooting.
Offline mode: GeoMaps is now available without an internet connection.
Enhanced security: Two-factor authentication minimizes the risk of unauthorized access.
LDAP: GeoMaps supports integration with LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) and identity providers such as Entra ID.

Technical Enhancements for Robust Performance

New BGE for Signal Management: Support for revision-safe cable rerouting. 
New BGE excel import template for changing cable type: Efficiently change the type of multiple cables at once. 
Connect “uncut” fibers: Reconnect “uncut” fibers in Junction Boxes to restore the original connection state. 
No-restart updates: Reinitialize the BGW/API on demand without restarting the application server. 
ReconEngine upgrades: Import functionality for IP network infrastructures, more configuration options, and significant improvements in handling cable and outside plant infrastructures.
Enhanced cloud readiness: Supports running FNT Command in Kubernetes clusters

Inventory and Warehouse Management

Hierarchical warehouse structures: Divide warehouses into substructures and assign devices accordingly for better organization.
Inventory management: Define stock thresholds and manage them globally or within substructures, for timely reordering and minimal downtime.
