Using Data in Telecom Network Planning and Management
Are you looking to maximise the impact of the data available to your company to improve network planning and management? This panel will cover the best ways to harness that power at every stage of the network development process and beyond. Here’s a sneak peek at what the panelists will discuss:
Network projects are complex, and they tend to become more complex as they progress from the planning to the build and operations stages. Data is a crucial, yet under utilised source of information, and it can be used to ensure your organisation is seizing the best opportunities, estimating costs at the most accurate level possible, and continuously improving service during the network’s operation.
So, what are some of the ways data can inform network projects?
In the opportunity selection and review phase of a network project, GIS data can be used to identify prime locations and determine high-level routing and costing. However, it is critical that these insights are folded into and enriched with additional data sources on demographics, competition, land ownership, and so on to make the best the most actionable go/no-go decisions on specific opportunities.
A more targeted approach to the use of real-world data on terrain, premise characteristics, and existing infrastructure can also improve the accuracy of Planning Packs, making the network build and installation process more efficient and predictable. And, once the project is switched on and enters service, customer and network data can be collected and analysed to maintain a high standard of service and continuously improve it over the customer lifecycle.
