Creation and Maintenance of Intelligent Networks
As other service providers move into their traditional market, CATV providers are challenged to deliver the “triple-play”: high speed Internet access, video-on-demand and telephone services over their existing HFC networks to private residences and businesses. This requires increasingly complex network upgrades and makes ready access to accurate information about the network mission critical. The sophistication of inside and outside plant is growing exponentially to support these growing demands and today’s providers need efficient tools to plan, design, build, and operate this intelligent network.
Bentley’s communications solution is used by providers and engineering firms designing tens of thousands of miles of HFC network. The design process results in a common intelligent network model that can be shared with OSS systems to provide better customer services, speed time-to-service, and reduce repair times and network outages. System calculations are performed as you design and recalculations are fast and efficient. The solution also optimizes powering and provides detailed engineering reports as output from the design process. Immediate access to subscriber information is available from the maps and the intelligent network model allows for tracing from the subscriber all the way back to the headend, where detailed equipment documentation may be part of the intelligent model.
