Utility telecommunications deployments are big, complex, and long. Utility telecommunications outages can be big, complex, and difficult. Yet, telecommunications underpin nearly all grid modernization initiatives. Designing, deploying, and managing modern utility telecommunications networks demands detailed and thoroughly accurate planning. And planning demands data. A unified telecommunications asset register can enable the detailed and long-range planning that is required for effective planning and speedy outage resolution. This white paper examines how a single unified and reliable asset and resource manager can deliver benefits across a utility’s telecommunications infrastructure.

This white paper discusses the important role a digital twin plays in managing today’s complex hybrid network infrastructure, highlights how digital twins are being applied, and reveals the benefits that result from this new approach.

Network digital twins replicate an operator's hybrid network infrastructure, encompassing physical, virtual, and logical components. This hybrid infrastructure combines physical elements like base stations and data centers with virtualized components such as vRAN and C-RAN. While virtual components offer flexibility and scalability, managing them alongside physical and logical components poses challenges. Digital twins provide detailed insights and automated management for these components, essential for future network management.

A successful network transformation for utility providers hinges on consolidating information into a unified data model, leveraging software for automation, and embracing unified resource management principles.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of telecommunications, the demand for high-speed, reliable connectivity is escalating. Fiber optics are the backbone of modern communication infrastructure, offering unparalleled bandwidth and reliability. Their deployment is crucial for meeting the growing connectivity needs of communities and businesses.

The telecommunications industry is being disrupted by new technologies and customer demands, requiring innovative network management. Successful service providers excel in managing their hybrid infrastructures of physical, logical, and virtual resources. This white paper outlines how six leading providers improved their network management and the business outcomes achieved.

A telecommunication providers’ guide to changing inventory management solutions without impacting business. This white paper details how to change inventory management solutions in such a way that prevents disruption and keeps all processes that rely on inventory data operational.

Tips on how to make a compelling business case The necessity of network inventory management fordriving operational efficiency and profitability for telecommunication operators is widely accepted, but thereis resistance to its adoption. Reasons range from costto implementation difficulties to unwanted disruption.These perceived risks are overwhelmingly outweighed bythe benefits to be gained. This paper explains in detail the returns you can expect to realize on your investment in anetwork inventory system and lays out how to enumerate these returns and make a compelling business case.

How to transform network asset and resource management Given the strategic importance of network inventory, it gets surprisingly little attention. How service providers manage their network assets and resources matters, as this will influence the performance of the entire network. This white paper explores in detail what a modern inventory solution looks like and the tangible business benefits delivered from using one.

A Guide for Service Providers and Network Operators Dynamic inventory management solutions make it possible to efficiently operate the network from asset management to service delivery, assurance, and planning.

Transforming into a digital service provider enables organizations to automate a broad spectrum of processes. This makes it possible to launch and fulfill new products and services faster, ensure service quality and reduce OPEX. The most important requirement for achieving this transformation is unified management of both physical and virtual network assets as well as IT and data center resources.

In order to cope with the rapid increase in data volumes and data traffic in the networks, telecommunications providers are increasingly relying on fiber optic lines and new technologies. As a result, networks are becoming increasingly complex. Millions of physical assets, logical resources and connections need to be managed. This is a complex but important task. After all, these networks form the basis for the provision of business-critical services.
