LOCATION INTELLIGENCE & ANALYTICS – WHY BUSINESSES NEED IT?

Location Intelligence  is the process of analysing data with a location as a dominant factor. It allows the brands to explore simple yet important characteristics typical to a particular location. For decades now, businesses have utilized location as part of their research or analysis in its most rudimentary form. It is commonly estimated that more than 80% of  data analysed  by companies across the world have a location component to it. However, today with the penetration of IoT across the globe, businesses are equipping themselves to dig deeper into the data insights with Location Intelligence capabilities. In the near future,  Location Intelligence  has the potential to evolve into a complete analysis division alongside Business Intelligence components.By leveraging insights from Location Intelligence, firms can detect patterns, opportunities, glitches and risks for themselves corresponding to a given area of operations. Business expansion with Locati...

GAIN AN INSIGHTS ON FTTX

FTTX stands for Fiber to the X (where X is a particular name/object). It is a type of broadband network architecture which uses telecom provider’s network to deliver broadband connections to homes, businesses and other establishments. Types of FTTX : FTTH:  fiber to the home** FTTP:  fiber to the premises** FTTC:  fiber to the curb FTTN:  Fiber to the node FTTx:  referred to all varieties! **Fiber to the home or fiber to the premises are the same thing, although “premises” was probably chosen to indicate the user could be a business as well as a household. Anyway, the idea is to bring fiber to the end user and offer high bandwidth services not available otherwise. Web based Telecom Network Feasibility Tool  Get Details FTTH  is mostly a telco issue : Telcos have many aging cable plants that cannot support DSL but it is too expensive to replace old copper with new copper just for POTS (plain old telephone service.) However, the agi...

3D DIGITAL MAP FOR NETWORK PLANNING

Using a digital map to plan your radio frequency coverage will ensure that every subscriber can access your network in an area of interest. To ensure that you can easily plan your  RF network , we provide the following map data to help optimize your network coverage: Clutter (Land Use) This data simplifies the  RF planning  process by showing the distribution of urban and residential areas. Estimation of population density is important in allocating resources for optimal network coverage. DTM Data Terrain  Modules represent topography of an area. Uneven elevation can be a potential obstruction to radio signals and thus terrain data is helpful in figuring out how to distribute base stations accordingly. Vectors All types of geographic data which can be represented using lines or points come under Vectors. These include roads, rivers, political boundaries etc.

ACCELERATING FIBER ROLLOUTS WITH AUTOMATED FIBER PLANNING SOFTWARE

Large fiber to the home ( FTTH ) projects are usually broken down into hundreds of sub-projects for every region, each with multiple fiber-serving areas. For each serving area, the  Network needs  to be accurately planned and designed for every street, so that all houses ( SDUs ) and multiple dwelling units ( MDUs ) are ready to be connected during the fulfilment phase. Every detail needs to be considered with costs calculated and analysed. This applies not only to  FTTH  projects, but to  NLD  fiber build project as well, where every route needs to be optimized to minimize equipment, ROW and construction work and at the same time maximize demand coverage. While previously, this may have been done manually, such an approach is no longer viable. A growing number of service providers are now turning to automated planning and optimization tools, as well as innovative techniques to speed up and improve the accuracy of  high-level fiber planning , ROI...
