With the massive fiber optic cable network implementation, where the number of fibers on ground is exponentially high due to Fiber To The Home, Fiber To The Building, Fiber To The Curb and in short FTTX, the database system is getting more complex. The current database and software tools are not tailored made for huge telecom data handling. Hence we have formulated a Relational Database Management System – RDMS in which the data structure in directly mapped to the telecom project activities like Planning, Survey, Design, Implementation, Testing, Commissioning, Operation and Maintenance. Detailed activities like civil structure construction, cable laying, splicing, termination, patching, E2E service provisioning can also be included. We have taken extreme care to give proper interface between database tables in the same way, how these entities are interfaced in the physical word. Hence the organic creation of telecom database model from zero helps in making the complete system more robust, scalable, reliable, error resist and easy for any level of customization. Fiber optic communication is the basic for all telecom and internet revolution that we are enjoying now. So we started our database model from fiber optic cable network. This is just a starting; we can integrate other network elements for GSM, FTTX, FTTV, Data Center, and Trans-Oceanic Cable networks.

1. Points
Points are the places in the map where there is interaction between human and the
telecom network infra-structure.
2. Route, Civil Duct
3. Link, Passive Cable
The single un-cut passive cable connection from any place to any place.
The cable will take the defined route by (2. Route, Civil Duct) database.
Elements are the main interface units for human during and after the project is
implemented. Elements (ODF) take effective part in the Operation and
maintenance. This module is just addition of elements in the database.
4. Elements
Jointing of cable to anther cable in a manhole and terminating a cable in the ODF
required splicing. Here we will take the database from (4. Elements) and make the
combined database in splicing module.
5. Splicing
6. Patching
This is the Civil span between any small intersection like manhole to manhole
(civil duct system), rack to rack (cable tray system). Simply protected path way
between two Elements for installing the fiber optic cable.
Splicing and patching define the same function except the method of procedure and
the work place. Patching is simple inserting a patch cord from one port in ODF to the
other port in the ODF.
7. E2E Circuit
E2E circuit is the final communication link implemented and we are creating
database (RDBMS) for every single connection from Point-A to point-B by
having complete trace of all the other database table discussed so far.
