Network and service providers are continually investing in new infrastructure and adapting their networks to meet changing subscriber requirements. They need accurate information about the availability and lifecycle status of all network resources to do so. FNT Telecommunication Network Inventory documents and manages all technologies used in their networks. Whether transport or access network, wired or wireless medium, legacy or next generation technology – FNT supports them all.
Highlights of FNT´s Telecommunication Network Inventory Software
The FNT Telecommunication Network Inventory software is used to plan, document, and manage network resources in hybrid telecom environments. It is part of the FNT Command Platform software suite that focuses on the network, presenting a centralized and organized view of all telecom network assets and resources. Since today’s telecom environment is hybrid, this includes not only the network resources, but datacenter infrastructure and IT / cloud resources as well.
This single source of truth database enables end-to-end querying of relationships between services, their underlying physical and logical network resources, associated applications, customers, and other assigned information. It provides transparent and clearly structured documentation, the ability to manage connections and services throughout the entire network, and an integrated data model for seamless navigation between layers. This makes it easy to identify all services and customers affected by any changes or issues, anywhere in the network.
Advantages of the FNT´s Telecommunication Network Inventory Software
All types of wireline and wireless network technologies for backbone, access, mobile and radio/TV broadcast networks are supported and integrated across all inventory levels, from physical network to end-to-end customer services. Hybrid network services, which consist of physical (PNF) and virtual (VNF) network functions, are also supported and documented with the highest level of detail. The result is a comprehensive view and seamless integration of all present and future technologies.
A central repository with complete, up-to-date data on all network resources and service data provides all relevant information for fulfillment and assurance processes, from the physical and logical networks to the services running over them. An extensive integration framework and standard interfaces enable vital network inventory information exchange with existing BSS/OSS- and other third-party systems. Processes that rely on this data run more efficiently and yield better outcomes.
FNT’s layered data model simplifies the integration of all required data and facilitates process automation. This improves both service quality and response times in the event of an incident, for example immediate creation of impact reports in case of infrastructure outage or planned maintenance.
Plan network expansions and rollouts based on accurate actual documentation to reduce error and need for costly rework and to maximize capacity and resource utilization. Automatically create work orders and distribute them to field force teams for execution of planned tasks or to service orchestrators for zero-touch service provisioning.
