Telecom Asset Management (TAM) Features List

Introduction

Telecom Asset Management (TAM) provides advanced GIS-based telecom asset tracking, fiber optics asset management, telecom inventory visibility, auto discovery, workflow automation, ERP integration, network analytics, dashboards, reporting and operational intelligence for telecom operators and service providers.

Core Telecom Asset Management Features

  • Different Views: List View, Form View, Tree View and GIS View.
  • Auto Discovery for Network Elements: Nodes and its contents.
  • Site Node Assignment which leads to retrieving site contents.
  • Auto Discovery Network Changes: Capturing new elements, transfer, dismantle, maintenance and replacement.
  • Storing network historical changes and viewing them using different tools and visualizations.
  • Ability to see the whole network layout with one click.
  • Applying workflows.
  • Integration with ERP systems.
  • Dashboard.
  • Reporting engine supporting GIS, advanced grid and charts.
  • Assigning discovered elements to corresponding purchase orders and generating discrepancy reports to arrange payments and track project progress.
  • Showing BoQ (inventory with asset values) for each site, supplier, node, node type, path, distribution panel, manhole, handhole, backbone, metro and access layers.
  • Building Asset Values by capturing initial cost, depreciation and net cost through intelligent workflow.
  • Tracking assets through workflows linking purchase orders, Capital In-Progress, Discovery New, Asset Register and Fixed Asset Register.
  • Reconciliation with Work Orders to confirm task completion and quality assurance.
  • Ability to load network alarms and traffic into TAM and visualize them using GIS, tree and list views.

GIS Network Visualization & Telecom Mapping

  • Building GIS geographical maps with dynamic hierarchy trees and advanced filtered grids for telecom network elements.
  • Site → Node → Cell hierarchy visualization.
  • Site → Node Type → Node → Cell hierarchy visualization.
  • Node Type → Site → Node → Cell hierarchy visualization.
  • Suppliers → Site → Node → Cell hierarchy visualization.
  • Purchase Order → Site → Node → Cell hierarchy visualization.
  • Item → Site → Node → Cell hierarchy visualization.
  • Item Category → Site → Node → Cell hierarchy visualization.
  • Helping telecom planning teams by analyzing neighboring sites, utilization, complaints and related tasks.
  • Ability to create regions and zones using geographical map drawing.
  • Detecting sites and transactions related to specific regions or zones.
  • Ability to find inventory and assets based on geographical borders.
  • Search for fiber elements within geographical borders.
  • Knowing geo distance and line of sight for fiber paths, backbone, metro and access layers.

Fiber Optics Asset Management Features

  • Fiber module for capturing fiber assets including manholes, handholes, distribution boards, cables, tubes, strands, trenches and ducts.
  • Finding nearest fiber points for connectivity.
  • Finding where customers or sites are connected to simplify maintenance.
  • Finding strand utilization for fiber cables.
  • Identifying affected users based on failure point location.
  • Identifying the failed segment of the cable.
  • Determining failure point coordinates using OTDR readings.
  • Showing BoQ for fiber elements including manholes, handholes, distribution boards, cables, tubes, trenches and ducts.
  • Showing paths for fiber manholes, handholes and distribution boards.
  • Showing distribution boards for fiber cables.
  • Showing customers and sites connected to fiber paths.
  • Showing cables for specific owners using different colors.
  • Gathering nearby manholes and handholes to the cable.
  • Appending new points from GIS map, hierarchy tree or forms to modify fiber paths.
  • Creating cables from maps, trees, Excel imports or manual forms.
  • Showing fiber path points and sequences.
  • Sorting fiber path points from source to destination.

Distribution Board & Fiber Connectivity Features

  • Assigning distribution board ports to customers, telecom sites, manholes, handholes or other distribution boards.
  • GUI for viewing distribution board port mapping.
  • Mobile application for selling SIM cards and charging balances.
  • Mobile application for checking mobile network coverage, speed and linking results to cells, nodes and sites.
