Easy-to-Use Search tools
Find any device or address on your map with a predefined  search tool. Search anywhere on your network for an address and access all of the facilities associated with the address. Provide easy access via a web browser to operations and customer service. This capability can also be used for Call-Before-You-Dig scenarios and to locate a device and addresses being affected by an outage. Any facility, whether it is a pole/pedestal, amplifier, splice, sheath, power supply, node, headend, or optical system can easily be located. The Geo Web Publisher for Communications also offers the ability to easily customize queries for specialized search functions. |

Handy Review tools
Display detailed equipment information with the click of the mouse. Geo Web Publisher for Communications has as many review tools as there are search tools. Any equipment attributes stored in the database can be reviewed for each device type. Review a single device or simply place a fence on the map and all devices within that fence will be listed for review. Rapidly identify node, amplifier and power supply feeding each address. Review amplifier plug-ins, coaxial equipment, and duct/inner-duct cables in a cross section view. If you wish to view only your fiber network or coaxial network, layers are easily turned off and on to display the desired equipment. |

Tracing
Find out the path your signal is taking to reach its destination. Geo Web Publisher for Communications will locate graphically any optical system path or fiber route on the map via the trace capabilities. Detailed information about the length of an optical system, the restoration priority, as well as the job description is available. Trace results can provide information mission critical to technical engineers trying to identify the source of a problem within a network. A redundancy route can also be viewed and compared to a primary optical route, to avoid using the same infrastructure. |

Cross Section Review
By selecting a fiber, a detailed cross section of each fiber in a cable can be viewed in a convivial Web interface by individuals in any organization that need the information to make critical decisions. A color coded buffer/fiber connection easily depicts the fiber connections. A design engineer or provisioner may be interested in available fibers for new customers, while a field technician can quickly determine all connections to aid in repair. A fiber’s optical route on the map can also be traced simply by clicking the “trace” icon. |
