Operator's World: Spotlight on a process

Use case 8, part 2: Typical integration with third party outside plant applications (eg. GIS)

Integration principles:

x:akta manages all services and inside plant

• Connectivity on all logical layers
• Site details
• Equipment
• Physical patching on the site
• Services

Outside plant application manages

• Ducts, manholes, pipes
• Cables
• Splicing

The ports of the ODF are the common reference:

• x:akta records single fibers as paths from ODF port to ODF port
• The physical location of the fiber in the cable system, including splicing details is available in the outside plant application

Every network operator has some kind of inventory system, or several.Most of them are dependent on several unsynchronized sources, and in different formats.

Aktavara x:akta - is the only product that provides dynamic inventory management - efficiently.

This example is part of a continuing series showing how x:akta improves standard tasks that are critical to efficient network operation.
