1 Documentation, planning and administration ofmodern telecommunications networks and resources

2 JO Software Engineering GmbH is a German vendor of professional software systems for the administration of complex wide area, metropolitan area and access networks. The company now has over 25 years' experience in the network sector and since the end of 1998 has been concentrating on the development, sales and marketing of. is a documentation and information platform that has been developed specifically for the management of telecommunications networks. It enables all types of fibre optic and copper networks to be documented and efficiently managed both on a physical, logical and virtual level, in other words, from the georeferenced position to the signal layer. supports all relevant technologies in the transmission and access sectors including SDH, PDH, xwdm, xpon, Ethernet/IP, xdsl and FTTx.

Great emphasis is placed here on the geo-referenced, correct positioning, scale and realistic representation of the objects, which is achieved both by a positionrelated object list and by mapping the relationship of the objects relative to one another (e.g.: cable>duct>trench). Attributes and documents can be assigned arbitrarily to each of these objects. For example, contracts, OTDR reports and invoicing information can be stored for every single fibre in the network.

The individual modules do not function alongside each other or even independently but their combined strength lies in their ability to integrate and interoperate with each other. Therefore all graphics including the geo-schematics, distributor view, connection view and schematic plan are interconnected and update each other in background mode. This seamless interaction between geographic, functional and logical information ensures a comprehensive overview of the overall actual situation of the network at all times.

5 In order to the support users in their management of complex structures, has a wide range of network-specific and automated functions, graphs, reports and printouts. These include route search via different transmission technologies, auto-routing of signals, generation of work orders for technicians and installers, descriptive capacity and utilisation analyses, end-to-end reporting of signals/routes, detailed customer reports and multiple planning options for the physical and logical network level. One specific feature to be highlighted in this context is the automated FTTx planning. This unique functionality enables full and customised FTTH networks from POP/street cabinet through to residential ONTs to be planned within a very short period and set up automatically within the system. It also issues itemised financial costings, descriptive work orders, building instructions, splicing plans plus materials and/or parts lists. The planning data is easily transferred to the active network by pressing the relevant key. future-oriented

7 one step ahead All network-related information is held centrally in a high-performance Oracle Database and is then available for retrieval by the planning, construction, operations, project management and financial control teams. The laborious browsing and editing of documents in order to access the required information is no longer necessary which very significantly reduces overall response time to queries. This delivers a significant improvement in service quality and network availability is optimised both factors which ultimately have a positive effect on customer satisfaction. However, the most important benefits of from a cost perspective are that existing network resources can be used more efficiently, operating costs can be reduced over the long-term, unnecessary new investments can be avoided and a faster system ROI can be ensured. The unique selling point (USP) of is that the software has been developed in-house as bespoke software with a very high-performance graphics functionality. Therefore there is no need to use complicated graphics programmes such as AutoCAD, Visio, or GIS to display the full network. This independence provides the user with crucial benefits in terms of functionality, learnability, ease of use, operating costs and system speed. Fibre level with connected signals and contracts The open database structure also enables a smooth integration into an existing IT environment. For instance, Cable-Scout has interfaces to leading GIS systems including ESRI, Smallworld, Bentley, Intergraph and Autodesk and can exchange data or cards with them accordingly. A very interesting new interface to the reflector system of FOC GmbH enables the monitoring of FTTx-/PON structures from the main office directly to the ONT of the customer.
