Great example of an extension to Fiber Manager
Shows the value of customer collaboration
An eye towards the future
SONET/SDH
Ethernet
Introduction

7
On one 400 mile fiber route, approx. 4800 fiber records
On one OC-48 segment, approx. 355,000 T1 circuit records
Adding 100 to 200 miles of fiber
per year
Adding 150+ circuit requests
per year
High Volume of Telecom Asset Records
8
Originally Access Database with VBA Front End (~1996)
Converted to Oracle 9i Forms in 2004
Tracked logical infrastructure
of circuits including SONET
timeslots/channel designation
Excel for fiber records
Current System - CSMGMT

Create a GIS database and web-based interface to:
Identify, review, analyze, and update key attributes of Tri-State’s telecom
network
Include collocation buildings, equipment locations,
fiber optic routes, microwave radio systems,
MAS radio systems, USAT, and UHF radio systems
Provide ability to track logical provisioning with
similar capabilities as current home grown system
to the DS0 level
Business Drivers
10
Install new GIS telecom OTS software
Include a new Circuit Mgmt Solution
Add customized software interface for Circuit Mgmt
Migrate Telecom database and fiber data
to new GIS telecom software
(with new customization)
Tie telecom circuits to GIS software
Focus on expanding fiber routes
Requirements
11
Reviewed numerous software providers
Interview / demo 4 leading OTS software vendors
Selected ESRI/Schneider and Fiber Manager
Final Solution

Fiber Manager – It’s Physical● Connection Manager allows you to connect fiber, microwave, etc. to a physical
port on a device on each end
● No internal connectivity between device ports within a device
● Circuit Manager allows you to create a named physical path from device to device
● Does a good job in tracking physical assets and connectivity
13
●Track master/header circuits that traverse through devices
●Custom Trace Linking Multiple Fiber Manager Physical Circuits
●Defines connectivity between internal device ports
●Establish bandwidth between end points (up to an OC-192)

Demonstration – Dennise Ramirez
●Creating Master Circuits
19
●Define a bandwidth hierarchy for each master circuit up to
an OC-192 (10 Gb/s)
●Allocate logical trunk circuits
(reserved bandwidth, ex. a full STS-1 or DS1)
●Provision logical tributary circuits
(committed bandwidth) down to a DS0
●Custom Two Point Trace Through Master Circuits
Bandwidth Hierarchy
20
● Allocate circuits within the master circuit hierarchy
● 24 DS0s = 1 DS1
● Tributary Circuit
● Ex Hierarchy:
● Consuming the 1st Vir. Tributary
● Within the 13th OC-1 (trunk)
● Within an OC-3 (trunk)
● Within an OC-12 (trunk)
● Within an OC-24 (trunk)
● Within an OC-48 (master)
● Defines the Timeslot of the circuit

What can we do with this level of detailed data?
●Recommend circuit provisioning based on available timeslots
●Track allocated bandwidth vs. capacity at all points on network
●Create a GIS heat map showing bottlenecks
●Drive capital planning for network expansion
●Poke the network at any point to see:
●Hierarchy of the master circuit(s)
●Which logical circuits are present
●The use of each logical circuit (down to the DS0)
●Result is a scalable system
