Optimizing Your Fiber-Optic Rollout

Please note: This event takes place at 1pm (Eastern) / 18:00 (BST)

 

Using GIS based technology to improve and maintain end to end visibility during the construction and operation of fiber networks

 

Existing digital networks in many countries are at their limits, and mobile communication networks cannot simply step in to take up the slack. The solution is the fiberoptic networks that are now being built around the world to connect homes and business

 

Unfortunately, because of unexpected obstacles and environmental constraints, the networks that end up being built rarely match what was originally planned. Without a record of the differences, it is impossible to manage the costs and quality of a new network and ensure performance and safety to construction crews

 

Matching agreed designs with as-built networks is difficult. Most ISPs will outsource the work of building a new network to a contractor. These will often then sub-contract parts of the construction to smaller operators. The build becomes a complex supply chain. Visibility of progress and variations is lost. This inevitably results in loss of control, delays and a lack of quality.

 

Fortunately, has been a revolution in the use of digital solutions to design and build networks. The best solutions provide real-time, end-to-end information. They are simple for contractors to use, so that they can update live maps with progress and design updates while they are in the field. Errors are automatically removed. Facilities to record the use of resources including material and labor are available.

 

Good visibility during network construction is critical. It allows quality and cost control, and it facilitates better decision making. With a good visibility network, providers can deliver new projects faster and more cost-effectively.

 

Join us to network with your peers and gain practical insights into strategies for achieving good visibility during fiber network development and operation. This is an exclusive event and seat numbers are very limited, so apply for your place now.

 

The topics we will explore

 

During the meeting we will focus on questions such as:

 

• What are the benefits of moving away from paper and employing digital technology in the design and construction of online networks?
• What is the importance of the mapping layer vs simple digital workflow tools?
• Why is maintaining good visibility of progress and design variations important when designing, constructing and operating fiber networks?
• What are the key metrics that CFOs and COOs need?
• How can visibility be maintained by using digital technology throughout the design and construction phases of building a fiber network?
• What are the practical requirements for effective mapping tools?
• How can mapping technology enable ISPs to understand the cost of expanding networks to reach isolated communities?
• Why are accurate network maps important once a network has been completed?
• How can ISPs be confident that the network maps they are using are complete, accurate and up to date?

 

Who is invited?

 

This online discussion is designed for senior decision makers across the ISP and network building/operating industry who wish to discuss how to establish and maintain visibility during the construction and operation of fiber IT networks. Delegates will be employed as operational decision makers (COOs, CROs, CFOs, CEOs, build and construction directors) in medium-sized and large organizations in the online network sector.

 

Be one of 12 senior network development and operations professionals attending this online event. For any enquiries, please contact Mergim on +44 (0)20 8349 6458 or email m.begolli@business-reporter.co.uk.
