Providing Options for Telco Organizations

Telcordia Network Engineer

Telcordia Network Engineer is a planning & engineering system that employs a geospatial representation to manage customers and network facilities. This system, based on ESRI ArcGIS architecture, provides value through efficiency in network build-out. It optimizes a service provider’s resources with:

• A built-in geospatial work order manager
• Inside & outside plant design that matches real-world conditions
• Robust connectivity & tracing
• An open and scalable environment - extending the ESRI ArcGIS architecture
• Configurable, model-driven design functionality
• Ease of integration

Communication network service providers must provide for efficient network management and data flow to increase operational efficiency, to deliver optimal choice of services more cost-effectively, and to ensure profitability to them as suppliers. Network Engineer provides geospatial management functionality that encompasses seamless data integration between systems on the network, including provisioning and service assurance systems - thus, it becomes the point of origin for the physical network inventory by which data flows to other systems. All operations support systems (OSS) components are able to collectively collaborate by sharing its network inventory data.
