Author: Fabio Oliosi Rte des Chaffeises, 3 Phone: +41-21-7916303 Utility network managers often prefer to deal with schemes because they offer a faster visual access to technical and topological information. To this purpose Cablecom, a leading Swiss cable operator, chose Esri software, associated with two Powersoft, R. Pian SA solutions, FiberNet and CoaxNet, as their GIS standards. These two applications based on the SDE C API automate schematics generation from SDE, ArcFM, and Telcordia's Network Engineer data. From an appropriate user interface they offer straightforward attribute and data access, custom and dynamic labeling, and symbology for each network component. This paper presents the benefits, work flow improvements, and peculiar aspects of these overall concepts. |
