Description

1 TARIFF Fiber infrastructure transformation tracking system and methodology Technical Area 5 The invention provides services to fixed-line devices operating over copper infrastructure in areas undergoing fiber infrastructure transformation. Identifying and monitoring internet subscribers and effectively managing field operations. It relates to the system and methods that enable action to be taken for transformation. State of the Art Even though fiber optic infrastructure is available today, there are customers who still receive service via copper cables using the old infrastructure. They continue to experience problems and also incur costs due to repair processes. The fiber investment made is remaining idle and leading to waste. Fiber infrastructure and copper infrastructure 15 The network is managed with different systems and technologies. Therefore, in existing households Because information about which systems customers are participating in is not stored in a single system, this information Monitoring and control become more difficult. In fiber conversion zones, the identification of subscribers remaining on copper infrastructure currently varies between 20 different groups. by manually combining and analyzing reports obtained from systems These reports are typically generated using inventory systems, subscriber management systems, and These are extracted separately from different sources, such as infrastructure transformation lists. However, this method... It has several shortcomings: It is unmanageable due to the need for manual processing and the millions of households involved. Data The possibility of being overlooked is high; the data is not up-to-date in real time. It is possible to work with large datasets. This may not be the case. There is no visual guidance for field teams. In certain areas... Density analysis cannot be performed. This situation causes delays in fiber conversion processes, This leads to operational inefficiency and customer dissatisfaction. 30 The application with registration number US8510150B2 was revealed as a result of technical investigations. In summary; "A fiber-to-the-building ("FTTP") network modeling system; a fiber optic numerous streets within the geographical polyline map of the network service area assigning a cost factor to each of the segments, with numerous FTTP request points every 35 receiving input representing someone's geographical location, matching the assigned cost factors. 2 as for each of the FTTP request points, one or more of the street segments in question. the lowest cost route to a central office located on the FTTP network throughout automatic determination of each street located in numerous street segments Automatic identification of a demand associated with the segment and its inclusion in the FTTP network. The geographical location and size of numerous fiber distribution cabinets are automatically determined as 5 It includes the determination of the relevant methods and systems. As can be seen, the invention was made before the fiber network was even built, determining which route would yield the lowest cost. the cost of the installation and the map showing where and what size the fiber distribution cabinets will be placed It relates to a planning / modeling system that automatically calculates based on this, and this is 10 alongside a structure that can provide solutions to the disadvantages mentioned above It does not mention it. In conclusion, due to the negative aspects described above and the current solutions, the subject matter... Due to its shortcomings, it has become necessary to make improvements in the relevant technical field. 15 Purpose of the Invention The invention represents a new breakthrough in this field, unlike the structures used in existing technology. It aims to create a structure with different technical specifications that bring about different results. 20 The primary purpose of the invention is to replace copper infrastructure in areas where fiber infrastructure transformation has been implemented. Identifying fixed internet subscribers who continue to receive service through this method, monitoring and effective management of field operations to take action for transformation The goal is to establish a system and method that enables its acquisition. 25 One aim of the invention is to integrate fiber infrastructure and copper infrastructure networks with different systems and technologies. Because it is managed in a scattered manner, the data is automatically processed at specific intervals. by transferring them and consolidating them on a central platform, thus integrating them into existing households Tracking and controlling information about which systems customers are participating in through a single system. 30 The aim is to enable this. Another purpose of the invention is for inventory systems, subscriber management systems, and infrastructure transformation. Manually combining reports pulled separately from different sources, such as lists, and 3 by eliminating the need to analyze millions of household-scale big data It is about making it manageable. One aim of the invention is to eliminate the possibility of data omission resulting from manual processes. by removing it, data loss is prevented and data can be monitored in an up-to-date manner. 5 to provide. One of the aims of the invention is to be located in the fiber optic conversion zone thanks to the developed algorithm. However, subscribers who still receive service via copper infrastructure are automatically detected. The aim is to ensure that it is done. 10 One purpose of the invention is to visualize identified subscribers on a map by providing field data. Providing visual guidance for teams and enabling these subscribers to access lists through the application. It can be monitored as such. One aim of the invention is to enable regional density analysis based on identified subscribers. and to enable the display of densely populated areas using a heatmap. One purpose of the invention is to identify subscribers who have not undergone conversion for a long time, Generating automatic alerts for situations and sending notifications via email, etc., to relevant individuals. 20 This is to prevent the process from being left unattended. One aim of the invention is to enable field teams to work more efficiently, speed up operations, and By accelerating fiber conversion processes, the problems arising from existing methods The goal is to prevent delays, operational inefficiencies, and customer dissatisfaction. 25 One aim of the invention is to address the problems that customers remaining with copper infrastructure continue to experience, and By reducing costs arising from downtime processes, the idle fiber investment can be utilized. The goal is to prevent waste by making it possible to do so. One goal of the invention is to enable all customers with old copper infrastructure to switch to fiber infrastructure. The aim is to increase customer satisfaction and reduce operational burden. One aim of the invention is to utilize copper grid network equipment that becomes redundant as a result of conversion. By shutting it down, energy is saved and income is generated by collecting and selling the copper cables. 35 It is done. 4 One aim of the invention is to enable easy monitoring of the fiber conversion process through application effectiveness. to provide.
