Managing the Network Lifecycle with a Multi-Dimensional Data Model

Every stage of a network’s lifecycle, from planning, rollout, to maintenance and restoration, needs to be built on solid data from multiple dimensions. This includes data not only from the services providers but also from their engineering, construction, and equipment vendors. A “geospatial data model” of the core information is critical to the successful management of assets throughout the “life-of-the-network”. Therefore, all the parties involved in the network lifecycle management should collaborate to acquire and maintain physical network data to build workflows and adopt technology that enables speed and accuracy.
