Let’s try a little thought experiment. Let’s imagine that a very large and complex fiber optic telco network has just been rolled out, and it’s your job to manage it as efficiently and profitably as possible. Now imagine that the only information you have available about the entire network infrastructure is the original scope planning. You have no reliable information about the precise location of where the cables were actually laid or the exact components that were used in the end, or where extra splices and joins were made, and you don’t even know for absolute certain which homes were connected with how many connections when all was said and done. Sounds like a scary scenario, doesn’t it? If your mind went immediately to the amount of precious time, money and customer satisfaction that would be wasted, then you understand exactly what it means to work with a network infrastructure that is poorly documented. Your teams constantly scrambling to resolve any incident, longer downtimes, frustrated customers, SLAs broken, and all due to inefficient resource allocations and unnecessary excavations at the wrong locations. It’s an operational nightmare! An efficient system that can easily and accurately provide every detail for your fiber network registration, regardless of the size or complexity, is the most reliable way to avoid the kind of costly mistakes and inefficient network management challenges that come with not knowing the exact location and detailed makeup of every single component of your fiber network infrastructure. Investing in a system that provides that kind of accuracy and reliability from the ground up is an investment in efficiency, customer satisfaction and profitability. Profitable fiber network management starts and ends with reliable, detailed network documentation. Ideally, you want an exact digital twin of your physical network infrastructure. Without that kind of information, every phase of your telco network operation becomes a gamble, where guessing the wrong location and makeup of connections and where to dig to repair an outage is not only inefficient, but also very expensive. A system that ensures every cable and connection is clearly and precisely mapped and every detail is accessible anywhere, both in the office and in the field, and in real-time—that is how you set your fiber optic network up for the most cost-effective operation and maintenance. That is how you safeguard your ROI for the long term! #digitaltwin #FttH #assetmanagement #fibernetworkmanagement

VitrumFiber chooses Cocon Fiber network asset management Speer IT welcomes an exciting new German customer, VitrumFiber, for the Cocon Fiber registration and asset management system. VitrumFiber builds turnkey fiber optic networks, which are leased to customers ranging from network operators and internet service providers to municipal utilities that offer internet services. They handle the planning, construction, financing and maintenance, so there is no risk for the customer. As a provider of what VitrumFiber calls ‘fiber as a service,’ they know what a detailed, accurate and reliable registration of every network they build and manage means for the success of their business. Dr. Marc Hennemann, Managing Director of VitrumFiber, says, “The choice for Cocon Fiber underlines the importance for us of an excellent detailed registration of every component of our networks. Cocon conveniently provides an extremely precise digital twin of our fiber optic telco networks. That helps us manage our customers’ networks with optimal efficiency.” The detailed network status information contained in Cocon Fiber is also configured with API to feed directly into the Gridsz Platform chosen by VitrumFiber for their network resource management. Gridsz is a sister network software system to Speer IT’s Cocon Fiber, developed through the joint venture with Infodation, and it is a powerful tool for efficient network construction and management support. The data in Cocon provides the ideal foundation of detailed and up-to-date information for the management workflows in GRIDSZ. “This way, we know we are always working from the most accurate network data, because it is continuously updated to the Gridsz Platform,” Hennemann adds. Synchronization with Gridsz also works in the other direction. When VitrumFiber coordinates network construction and post-connection orders, everything that happens is easily verified and quickly updated to the Cocon Fiber registry. This ensures it is always comprehensive, accurate and up to date. The value of the network for generating ROI efficiently and effectively for the long run is guaranteed. Having this type of detailed digital twin for their telco networks is ideal for the long-term partnerships that VitrumFiber’s customers value highly. Many of those customers are municipal and public works customers, such as Stadtwerke Rostock AG, where VitrumFiber is currently building modern broadband networks in three municipalities. Paul Havinga, CCO at Speer IT, adds, “The added value for VitrumFiber is that all their telco network management activities can take place on the solid foundation of the Cocon Fiber asset management system. Cocon is a network owner’s proven, reliable, and single source of truth about every component of their entire network. We are proud that VitrumFiber has chosen us and recognizes the importance of the support Cocon provides for their core business!” #fiberregistration #FttO #FttH #assetmanagement

When managing telco fiber networks is your core business, you need to rely on the accuracy of your network data. This is especially true when you need to deliver service fast. Unresolved data errors in your fiber network can lead to operational chaos, and some very unhappy customers. Why is accurate network data so critical? For one, fiber networks are unique, with myriad components and complexities. Joins, splices, attenuation in the cables—these are just a few of the things that make fiber different from copper networks. To ensure efficiency, that intricate web of connections must be documented meticulously: an exact and highly detailed digital twin. 1.       The cost of fiber network chaos Inaccurate data in your asset management system can lead to misdirection and inefficient use of resources, resulting in operational chaos during outages. That ultimately prolongs downtime and potentially breaches SLAs. The business is strained, and trust gets damaged. Accurate and well-maintained network data, on the other hand, allows the quick identification of issues and faster resolution times, which significantly lowers the impact of incidents and outages. An effective fiber network asset management system ensures that every piece of data is an accurate reflection of the network at all times, with changes to components and connections updated in real time. The ideal system also integrates geographical information systems (GIS) with a user-friendly front-end map that translates complex network data into simple and efficient processes and tasks. Technicians in the field, for example, have all the information they need to get the job done quickly. 2.       An advantage for investment decisions In addition, complete and accurate insights into the state of your network is an undeniable advantage in making well-informed investment decisions about maintenance and expansion. As networks evolve and the demand for ever-faster connectivity grows, so does the need for a reliable fiber asset management system that can keep up with highly dynamic telco fiber network developments. Investing in advanced fiber management solutions like Cocon Fiber, which offers the most comprehensive visualization of your physical network infrastructure, brings a distinct strategic advantage for your fiber network business. By removing the risks associated with inaccuracies and unresolved errors in your network data, it not only increases ROI by reducing OPEX but it also gives you solid higher-level support when you need to make strategic investment decisions.   Don't let outdated or incorrect data complicate your network operations. Embrace solutions that bring precision to your processes and safeguard your network against chaos! #digitaltwin #assetmanagement #FttH #FttO #opticfiberregistration #fiberinventory
