Leverage Your Network Assets and Become Competitive


To stay competitive, you look to offer better services, improve current services, increase bandwidth and quality--all without tremendous upfront costs. If you leverage your assets, your network, you can do this.

According to Rick Hurzeler, CCI's Vice President of Engineering Operations, "As networks become more fiber-rich, it is extremely important to be able to document these assets in order to efficiently use them."

Fortunately, there are tools capable of documentation without huge upfront costs. SPATIALinfo specializes in offering network-management software solutions: the spatialNET suite. It is a network design and management tool that helps network engineers design and manage fiber, coax, copper and power networks.  The suite consists of seven key features.

Fiber Design: models the modern network elements used in telecommunication and cable TV networks. It has many features, including the ability to group outside and inside plant network elements together into a Master Circuit,representing the logical, end-to-end service you sell to your customer.

Inside Plant: allows your network designs to transfer seamlessly from outside plant to inside plant.

Coaxial Network Design: allows you to design and extend your coaxial networks in order to cope with high-bandwidth data services, telephony, video-on-demand and HD video.

Copper Management: tracks the details and locations of cables, splice cases, terminal blocks, cross-connects and in-line equipment.

Job Management: allows two or more users to work in the same physical area at the same time.

Land Base and Address Management: provides tools for managing your address, parcel and street centerline data, including the ability to model single-dwelling units and multi-dwelling units.

Open Access and Integration: uses Autodesk's AutoCAD Map 3D as its rendering engine and front end.

SpatialNET tightly integrates with AutoCAD Map and uses many of the functions available in this product.

CCI became SPATIALinfo's first Platinum partner in June 2010. In order to receive this achievement, our engineers have received 20 licenses and completed intensive spatialNET training.
