The planning, design, construction, and operation of a modern broadband telecommunications network requires tremendous resources from many quarters. Skilled people, new hardware and software technologies, and integrated databases are all part of the recipe for success. However, data that are unavailable at the time of decision making, for whatever reason, are of little or no value. Tools that tightly couple data to the decision-making process are therefore very important. The Spatial Technologies Group of the Pacific Bell Advanced Communications Network has been developing a set of tools that integrate spatial data into various phases of the ACN design and construction process. Initially, the tools were focused on building the underlying spatial framework to which the physical network is referenced, and from which the living unit database is created. We are now deploying tools to perform integrated node bounding, deployment status monitoring, and network surveillance and alarm monitoring. In each case, the objectives have been to use spatial analysis tools to integrate data from various sources, and to make the integrated data set available on demand to the decision maker.
