Centralized Planning, Operation and Management of Passive Inside and Outside Plant Infrastructure
Data volumes are increasing, and network traffic is growing. These are the realities of the digital age. To keep up, service providers are scrambling to roll out more fiber and introduce new technologies. The result is increasing network complexity. Millions of physical assets, logical resources and connections in the cable network must be managed. Doing so is difficult but essential, as these networks are the foundation for delivering the services that keep businesses operational.
IT is spreading into all areas of life as both residential and business customers consume and generate massive amounts of data. Network operators must ensure their fiber-optic networks in the transport and mobile fronthaul and backhaul arena, FTTx infrastructures in access networks, and HFC networks can keep pace with traffic. They are therefore laying more fiber, connecting more mobile sites to fiber, and extending fiber closer to end users.

FNT Cable and Outside Plant Management makes it possible to efficiently operate complex passive network infrastructures. It gives full transparency across the network to document, plan and manage any inside and outside plant cable network infrastructure. From a service assurance perspective, this is the best defense against service interruption. From a planning perspective, it ensures changes are based on accurate as-built documentation and that all changes are reflected in a centralized management system.
Using FNT Cable and Outside Plant Management and Telco Active Inventory solutions together enables management of the complete collection of network and service resources of an active telco transport network. All the hierarchically structured services and paths in FNT Telco Active Inventory can be assigned to the appropriate underlying resources in FNT Cable and Outside Plant Management.

White Paper
Digitalization is forcing telecommunication service providers outside of their comfort zone and to focus on the edge of their networks. It’s the only way to keep up with the meteoric rise in the number of connected devices, the amount of data being transferred and customers’ demands for uninterrupted and fast service. Successful telecoms will be those whose networks can accommodate these demands. How? By bringing their networks closer to their customers via edge data centers. While this may sound daunting, making the move is easier for those telecoms that recognize their inherent advantages and understand how to leverage them. Download the white paper and learn what these are and what key areas to focus on when planning your move.
