Spatial Manager
Clarity Spatial Manager provides a geographical view of outside plant (OSP) with a tightly integrated view of the overlaying logical network model. It supports physical network modeling, map-based visualization and tools for working with cables, ducts, trenches, manholes and other physical entities on land based maps.
Highlights
- Provides a clear geographical view of the network outlining the relationships between the spatial, physical and logical layers of the network
- Provides physical network integrity input to network planning with geographical representation to identify physical diversity of routes, points of failure, service impacts of a cable cut, and the nearest access points for new customer services
- Inputs to network build processes by providing resource requirements and job sheets for what and where assets need to be deployed
- Models OSP infrastructure including creation and update of inventory through graphical tools with out of the box support for MDF/ODF/frame and cable-pair/-strand connectivity
- Integrates with Clarity’s Inventory Manager module to view resources and connectivity at any location
Benefits
- Improves efficiency in network investment by modeling paths for new infrastructure, with a clear view of spatial considerations such as closest approach, separacy and diversity
- Improves time to rectify cable breaks, with identification of closest access points to failure, and possible spare fiber paths that can be used
- Reduces unnecessary capital outlays by providing a view of unused capacity such as terminals available on frames for cross-connection and space in ducts for additional cables
- Reduces the risk of discrepancies and costly data synchronization between outside plant and logical inventory, with integrated GIS and inventory
