Telecommunications Network Inventory

Manage physical locations and mobile RAN sites in a hierarchical system within a geographical structure. Group physical locations logically, track logical sites, nominal search areas, site candidates and preferred site candidates to facilitate geographically distributed network rollouts.

Associate network devices with locations or sites, facilitated by an integrated component library of over 75,000 device templates with all relevant technical data. Manage active devices, passive components, and combine multiple devices to create single logical groups that represent more complex pieces of hardware.

Manage physical devices or intangible components such as virtual machines and software installations throughout their entire lifecycle, assisted by features such as contract management, planning functionality, and work order management.

Hierarchical templates are available for modelling different network layers. They are flexible and easy to extend, making the solution future-proof for any wired and wireless network technology.

Considers both passive network resources and active transport technologies to route physical and logical connections automatically through the entire network. Accounts for routing parameters and restrictions that affect the path and ensures the validity of connections with system-based plausibility checks.

Supports new resources planning, reservation, and modification on physical and logical inventory levels.

Provides the detailed information required for upgrading networks and introducing new services and products. Includes information on configuration, topology, capacities, and nodes, the relationships between network resources on different layers, and a range of related items like contracts and SLAs.

The integrated data model delivers transparency throughout the entire service chain by documenting data, relationships and dependencies across all technologies and layers and permitting seamless navigation between them. This transparent documentation is clearly structured and presents all information relating to the network for end-to-end querying of relationships between services, their underlying physical, logical and virtual network resources, associated applications, customers, and other assigned information.

FNT IntegrationCenter is FNT’s native integration framework. It provides REST API exposure, graphical ETL tool, adapters to NMS/EMS and network synchronization, and notification service for event-driven information exchange. FNT has extensive experience in building integrations with common network management suites on the market.

A flexible reporting engine works with database metaschema to provide many options for generating reports and supports integrating external reporting applications and dashboard solutions.
