Introduction
• Telecom outside infrastructure is more than
a century now in most of the countries.
• Where is the bulk of telephone cabling?
– 10% is in long distance networks – Converted into
fiber years ago.
– 10% is distribution network – Most of them are
converted into fiber.
– 80% of all Telco cabling is subscriber loop –
Copper.
• Network coverage was limited
geographically
• Copper networks transformation to
optical fiber cables
– Increase of bandwidth demand
– Demand for advanced quad-play services
– Reliability and scalability

Telecom Infrastructure (FTTx) – GIS Role
• GIS technology allows telecom companies to
have a variety of applications ranging
– Desktop based field survey
– Network planning
– Network design
– Inventory management
– Quick service provisioning
– Tracking & Service assurance
– Location based services
– Multiple reporting

10. Creating Business Impact | Providing Expert Solutions | Delivering Quality Consistently | Building Partnerships Globally
Automation Need – FTTx Infrastructure
• Rapid replacement of existing copper networks
• Construction of large-scale fiber (FTTx) networks
• Lack of skilled resources to plan the emerging
technologies.
• Construction of advanced and complex
technologies
• Non-availability of standard FTTx tools and
process
• Pressure on competitive time-to-market

Business Benefits – Infotech Solution
• GIS based automation of telecom infrastructure (FTTx) has been
aimed to:
– Create large numbers of networks in a short time
– Usage of less human resources
– Efficient Network Planning for optimization of FTTx networks
– Provide consistent and faster FTTx network designs
– Increase productivity dramatically
– Minimize the reworking
– Effective reporting when required
• Fact Analysis: A typical FTTx network planning and
design takes 20 to 25 minutes per home which can be
drastically reduced to 5 to 7 minutes with GIS based
automation

Conclusion
• Massive opportunities for automation of Telecom (FTTx)
infrastructure.
– Global FTTx market to raise 145 million by 2013
– 249 FTTx projects commenced in Europe
• Municipalities, utilities, Govt. and new Telcos will dominate build
out of FTTx in next few years
• We are confident that, our GIS based automation solutions for FTTx
will meet the Telco’s current and future needs to ensure:
– Increase of workforce efficiency
– Reduced CapEx and OpEx
– Right services – Right time
– Faster Return on Investment (ROI)
