Abstract

Migrating Your HFC Network from CAD to GIS
Track: Telecommunications
Authors: Derek Rieckmann

In the telecom industry, HFC networks currently live a dual life. We use Lode Data to design, but draft them in CAD. What if your enterprise could do both in GIS? Midco, the largest independent ISP in the US, migrated its CAD-based system to the GIS-centric Designer HFC, aiming to use location data more effectively to develop business strategy. We’ll review the project progress, goal and results, and challenges. We’ll show how the new GIS creates efficiencies and enhanced HFC network analysis.
