Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Telecom network operators face challenges in accurately tracking and managing infrastructure and equipment due to fragmented data and incomplete information, leading to inefficiencies and additional costs when making decisions about network upgrades.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method for generating a telecom enterprise management system that captures site data, generates 3D virtual models, identifies and attributes ISO data model data to equipment components, and stores this data for global network visibility, using standardized ISO data models like IFC and COBie to ensure data integrity and accuracy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If telecom network operators manually track and manage infrastructure and equipment data across global sites, then they can maintain some level of data record, but the data becomes fragmented and inaccurate due to different logging and categorization methods at different sites
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies homogeneity by implementing a standardized data collection framework where all sites use uniform data structures, categorization methods, and logging protocols. This standardization eliminates the fragmentation caused by different sites using disparate methods, ensuring consistent and comparable data across the global network infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal data management system that can handle multiple types of infrastructure and equipment data through a single standardized framework. This multi-functional system accommodates diverse data types from different sites and equipment while maintaining uniform processing and storage protocols.
2Reliability
If telecom network operators collect detailed data from all global sites, then they can make informed decisions about network upgrades, but the data collection and management process becomes increasingly complex and resource-intensive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the global network into discrete, standardized data units that can be individually collected, processed, and managed. Each site's infrastructure and equipment are broken down into standardized data elements that can be systematically aggregated without overwhelming the management system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms complex, unstructured site data into standardized parameters and metrics that can be uniformly processed. By changing the data representation from diverse, site-specific formats to standardized parameters, the system can collect detailed information without proportionally increasing management complexity.
3Productivity
If telecom network operators use traditional data tracking methods, then they can maintain existing processes, but they cannot accurately track equipment and infrastructure leading to inefficiencies and additional costs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary standardized data framework that bridges the gap between traditional manual tracking methods and the need for accurate, comprehensive information. This intermediary system captures and standardizes data from existing processes while enabling complete and accurate tracking of infrastructure and equipment.

AI summary
This invention relates to a computer implemented method of generating a telecom enterprise management system. The method comprises the steps of, for each site in the network, capturing site data including infrastructure data and equipment data. From that captured site data, the method comprises generating a three-dimensional (3D) virtual model of the site; identifying infrastructure components and equipment components in the 3D virtual model; attributing an ISO data model data to each of the equipment components in the 3D virtual model; and storing the ISO data model data for each of the equipment components in the 3D virtual model of the site. In this way, the data will be provided in a reliable, uniform format, that will provide accurate information regarding the equipment in the network and will allow effective planning and management of the network.
