Before…
Timeless buildings from the past
After…
Amazing modern
buildings of today
The answer is…….CAD
Computer-aided design (CAD), a wide range of computer-based tools that assist

engineers, architects and other design professionals to realize modern buildings
CAD rules the world

Product Design
Network Design, Deployment, Registration & Planning
Network Modeling
Telecom Infrastructure Product Design
3D designs to search for the smallest low cost product,

yet easy and fast to install
Telecom Network Software Suite
Network Design (FTTx Design)

Guiding the designer in mapping a network and providing a breakdown
of all materials and labour resources required.
Network Deployment (Project Management)
Answering the question: “How much will it cost?
Network Registration (Documentation)
Viewing all route connections in the network and seeing what kind of
connections they are, essential in planning but also for maintenance.
Network Planning
Detailing project addresses, house registration and digging and
installation permits.
Design, Deployment & Documentation Software Modules are fully

integrated

In-building Telecom Networks
All buildings [from the past, today and tomorrow]

nowadays need sophisticated Telecom Networks
Automated Network Optimization
Network Software now eliminates all design guesswork,

applying advanced algorithms.
Automated search
for the best fiber routes
From “guiding the designer” now “actively finding” the

most economical network solution is in view.
Network Modeling, optimizing infrastructure solutions
Network Modeling is:

Generating cost-efficient Conceptual Network Layouts, by combining
Selectable Network Components with Conceptual Network Solutions
1. Conceptual Network Layout:

• Any kind of Network Layout possible in the given environment (OSP or Buildings)
2. Selectable Connectivity Products:

• Any Network Components which exist or are yet to be designed
3. Conceptual Network Solutions:

• Any potential Infrastructure Solution to be verified by Network Modeling
Conceptual Network Modeling:

Bringing new Network Products and Solutions from the idea stage into reality
Modeling new Infrastructure Solutions
