Resources
Network Resource Management is a suite of tools and services designed to help service providers manage and provision their hybrid, autonomous communication networks as they evolve and adopt new technologies like 5G, SDN, and NFV.
The two main products under Network Resource Management are Network Inventory Management and GIS Network Planning & Management.
Network Inventory Management is a fully configurable software suite that automates network resource planning and manages the life cycle of network resources, providing a consistent view of network resources across the organization.
Enghouse GIS Network Planning & Management Solution provides a geospatial network planning, design, and engineering platform that enhances decision-making, improves productivity in network operations, and empowers telecom enterprises with a true view of the network.
It enables management and provisioning of hybrid, evolving, autonomous communication networks, allowing operators to meet the challenges of 5G, SDN, and NFV.
Key features include Inventory Management, Resource Planning & Readiness, Reconciliation, Site Management, SDN Controller Integration, and support for Multi-vendor, Multi-technology & Multi-Domain.
It achieves accurate and up-to-date network element inventory and services through full configurability for new processes, vendors, and technologies, and by utilizing built-in auto-discovery functionality.
Key benefits include a COTS offering deployed on a market-leading GIS platform (ESRI ArcGIS), minimizing operational inefficiencies and risks, thorough network asset documentation and enhanced decision support, and simple deployment with highly scalable enterprise integration.
The platform is built on Esri’s sophisticated ArcGIS technology, making it compatible with the complete Esri technology stack, including ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Enterprise (server, web, and mobile).
It serves providers in multiple sectors, such as CSPs, ILECs, Railway Operators, Utility Network Providers, CLECs, Cable Operators, Non Public Networks, Smart Cities, and more.
The platform provides tools for network topology-based fiber design automation, connection management, signal link budget tracing and validation, distance to source, network proximity analysis, and more.
Yes, the platform is web and mobile enabled, providing easy access to network data through web and mobile platforms.
Yes, the platform can be readily integrated with other Enghouse OSS solutions, such as Workflow & Business Process Management (BPM), Network Inventory Management, Service Assurance, and Trouble Ticketing.
Enghouse offers professional and consulting services for system installation, deployment, training, GIS data entry and clean-up, data migration, and custom GIS reports.
The platform enables operators to rapidly isolate and assess the impact of network failures, analyze field measurements or service degradations, and efficiently share and visualize network information across teams, ultimately reducing network downtime.
Esri Geospatial Enabled Mapping allows users to gain greater insights through contextual visualization and data analysis, and to collaborate with others by sharing insights via maps, apps, and reports.
By enabling simplified field change audits, Network Inventory Management helps achieve improved time to repair through better visibility of network assets and more efficient asset tracking.
Yes, the platform supports FTTx services, including fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), fiber-to-the-node (FTTN), and fiber-to-the-tower (FTTT) as it helps operators plan, engineer, and operate the evolved infrastructure at all stages of the network lifecycle.
The platform offers features like capacity and utilization reports, work order assignment and tracking, network faults tracing, and OTDR tracing, which help operators monitor and manage network capacity and utilization.
The platform provides comprehensive tools for managing assets such as easements, rights of ways, and leases, as well as generating ownership, life-expectancy, and asset valuation reports. This comprehensive approach to asset management ensures thorough network asset documentation and improved decision support.
