Introduction and Background:
The concern for a telecom company is to ensure that the cable
layout and the transmission is correctly distributed over an area,
so that none of the area remains uncovered and the proper networking
is done with the laying of cables and wires with lesser amount
of hurdles and optical fibre cable usage minimization and better
customer service.
In a typical urban set-up, various buildings
are present, with variable building heights, front profiles and
notches in their outline plans. Each of these features affects
the transmission of signals (in case of cellular telephones) and
increase cable lengths in landlines.
Identification of the cable network positions
with a precession land-base data will always be a tremendous asset
to any telephone company for network planning, management and
monitoring.
AIM:
The aim of the project was to generate
a land base data profile, using a GIS software, so as to be able
to precisely pinpoint the various obstructions in the networking
of the cables, finding the possible areas where trenching can
be done and giving an updated information of the areas using older
available maps, thus providing a sort of various alternatives,
which will be time saving and cost effective.
