CPqD puts the power of Geographical Information System (GIS)technology
to work for the network infrastructure operator.
Assignments and management of existing
facilities, capacity
planning
for future requirements, and engineering of
new facility
implementation can be conducted in concert, sharing
consistent
views of the operating environment, service delivery facilities
and
spatial and non-spatial representation of customer locations and
service demands.
CPqD Outside Plant Management is constructed
from a modular
design with each module
developed to provide specific
functionality critical to the stages
of
the outside plant management
lifecycle.
The system modules
support outside plant maintenance, design,
planning, market
analysis, operations,
document management,
and data
conversion.
Integration of the modules into a complete
OSP management
application can provide the
network operator:
Comprehensive OSP inventory management of existing
resources with overlay of planned, future resources
Full integration of customer service information
with assignment of network facilities (with database security features
enabling separation of customer service requirements from physical network
attributes)
Sophisticated OSP infrastructure modeling and
performance of complex capacity analysis exercises
Advanced capacity planning for projected traffic
volumes, geographic service areas, and time domains to support
just-in-time inventory management
