Inventory in buildings

The system of inventory in buildings - the advanced application developed for accounting and control of devices and components of communication networks. A system allows to present in the hierarchical form and to visualize network elements and their parameters, for example, the amplifier in a cabinet, splays in the cable mine, the room in the building, etc.

The system of inventory in buildings is delivered with library of the most widespread devices used for different types of networks and network technologies including fiber-optical to network, coaxial, copper and radio lines, SDH, PDH, IP, WDM, GSM, UMTS, CDMA, HSPA, LTE, WiMAX and others. A system provides:

• Evident display of arrangement of terminal service points taking into account structure of the building (the apartment and the room);
• Placement and connection of network elements (characters) located in the building;
• A possibility of simple replication of segments of networks in buildings (ladders, floors, apartments, rooms, cable mines).

Type at the level of the shelf

• Representation of the place of objects in network infrastructure (the amplifier in a cabinet, splays-cartridges in a cable channel, premises in the building);
• Advanced function of visualization integrates logical and physical subsystems of network.

Type at the level of the equipment

• Displays subelements and structure (the router, the network interface card, the descending flow, ports);
• Supports libraries of network elements for different networks and technologies;
• Submits the auxiliary documents associated with an object (integration with the external data warehouse is possible).

Type of the floor-by-floor plan

• Display of network elements on the plan of the floor;
• Hierarchical representation and visualization of the building, network elements and their properties (ladders in the building, flights and apartments on the floor, arrangement of splitters, amplifiers, etc.).

Workflow

Integration of workflows into the system of inventory allows to support and automate business processes using information on network resources. Service, planning and development of networks, reservation and activation of services, resource availability control belong to such processes.

Designer of workflows

• The graphical interface for determination of tasks and their communications, determination of transitions between tasks;
• Simple process management, connected with network infrastructure and sale of services (installation process of devices, repair, process of expansion of network and activation of services, etc.)

Process management via the web interface

• Purpose of tasks to specific people, specialists of certain positions or departments;
• Identification of errors and contradictions at a process development stage, before implementation of process in work.

Control panel projects of deployment

• Condition monitoring of development process of design of network and keyword parameters of investments;
• Effective work, thanks to lack of repeated data entry, inexact data, contradictions and underutilization.

Planning and design of networks

The schedule system and design of networks was created for support of activity of operators of cable networks and service providers of Triple Play on expansion of networks. A system allows to lower considerably time and design costs, the analysis and deployment of new networks. The solution for planning - organic development of a system of inventory is also completely integrated with it. Import of information between systems is automatic therefore planning is always performed on bases of up-to-date information about a current status of networks.

Features of design and analysis

• Unique algorithms consider topography, the existing infrastructure, opportunities and cost of use of infrastructure of other operators, cost of the equipment and transition to it;
• Automatic information exchange with the system of inventory;
• Libraries of previously simulated network elements and devices;
• Identification of the conflicts of power supply and calculation of energy consumption of each element;
• Automatic formation of the estimate of materials of the developed networks;
• Submission of the auxiliary documents connected with an object.

Inventory of services

The system of inventory of services is used for collecting, processing and sharing of information on the services provided by the operator and provides sales processes and service of services. This solution allows to model services according to the recommendations of TM Forum therefore operators I can consider all aspects and parameters of services (both from the point of view of subscribers, and in terms of the equipment). The system of inventory of services is equipped with the web interface providing integration with other systems, in particular with CRM, the system of inventory of resources and workflow.

Physical resources

• A system performs check, whether perhaps deployment of service in the set point or area;
• Registration of the services sold to users and freezing of the network resources required on ensuring these services;
• Ensuring the technical parameters required in activation process of services.

The services associated with the selected network elements

• Display of the services connected with the selected network elements;
• Each set of services can be easily found using search in a key phrase, client name or the status of service.

Logical and physical maps of services

• Each service can be displayed on the card of logical and physical resources;
• Record and report generation about indicators of quality of network;
• Story of availability of services with a binding at the right time.

Inventory of physical resources

The system of inventory of physical resources is used for collecting, processing and ensuring access to information on physical resources of network. Data integration about resources in and out of buildings allows to store information on infrastructure (buildings, premises, the equipment indoors, cable passages, cable channels and mines, wells, cabinets, support, cables, etc.) and its physical use (arrangement of panels in a cabinet, placement of cables on support, the physical ports of devices used for connection of cables).

• Process control of the planned shutdown and the analysis of its results;
• Control of accomplishment of SLA;
• Report generation on each failure and statistics of failures for each element of network;
• Support of any telecommunication networks and network technologies;
• Support of a system of inventory of logical resources, accounting of functionality of resources, frequency ranges, communications between physical and logical resources.

Cartographic interface

• Visualization on Google Maps and Google Earth - for the users who are not needing the advanced cartographic interface is possible;
• The resources displayed on Google Earth can be displaid using the external service supporting data in the KML format or are exported on the card.

Inventory of logical resources The system of inventory of logical resources allows to manage information on connections and the relations between different types of connections. A system considers functionality of devices, frequency range, communications with other physical and logical resources and also allows to document selection of bandwidth in telecommunication network and to monitor communications between logic and physical gates.

• Integration with NMS systems provides horizontal approach;
• An information access about network topology;
• Use of information connected with network;

Advanced algorithms of design at cable laying consider all features of the existing infrastructure, topography of network. In addition, the software allows to pick up the optimal equipment according to restriction of the budget and rent costs of infrastructure of third-party providers.
• The web system interface provides a number of useful functions, such as viewing a configuration of devices, viewing and change of slots, search of the services connected with this network resource, check of a possibility of logical connections and selection of resources for their needs, editing parameters of network devices now.

One of powerful benefits of the new version of SunVizion Network Inventory is the possibility of both operational network planning, and strategic planning of new network segments.

Also in SunVizion Network Inventory of version 14.1 the unique features connected with network management of communication at the airports are available now.
