Automatic Capacity Calculations

PNM provides Automatic Capacity Calculations as follows:

• Thermal Capacity in equipment rooms to ensure adequate cooling
• Electrical Capacity to prevent overloads
• Optical and RF Capacity to prevent excessive Optical and RF loss
• Physical Quantity Capacity to avoid damage due to overcrowding
• Bandwidth Capacity to maintain transmission quality 
• PNM also identifies bottlenecks and single points of failure,  and can be used for network design and planned Impact Analysis. 

Geographic Information System (GIS) 

PNM plots the physical route of trenches, ducts and cables between telecom sites, including:

• Manholes
• Cell Towers
• Street Cabinets
• Handholes
• Telephone Exchanges
• Data Centres
• Satellite Earth Stations
• Microwave Shelters etc.

PNM Automatically Generated Network Diagrams

In a telecom network, physical connections that can be touched and seen, are only half the story. Logical and virtual connections are just as important, and should also be fully registered in an IMS of any description. A telecom service to an end customer, makes use of all three circuit layers, so understanding the relationship between the numerous circuit types in each layer, and the relationship between those layers, is essential to understanding the client’s service.  PNM automatically generates network line diagrams in its network view of all physical, logical and virtual circuits, across all technologies.

PNM Automatically Generated Floor Plan Diagrams

PNM automatically produces floor plan diagrams, and inside plant ducts, based upon the data that is entered into the system including:

• Equipment Rooms
• Power Rooms
• Other Facilities

Technical Procedures

PNM offers customised procedures for: 

• Spare Parts
• Trouble Ticket Management
• Network Fault Statistics
• and more customisable options...

Disaster Recovery Management

When telecommunication services are down, everyone suffers. In an emergency, this makes the situation even worse. Without access to accurate network data, it is very challenging to restore essential telecom services. PNM enables you to plan traffic restoration before a disaster, so that when it really matters, the footwork has already been done.

PNM informs you real time, where the network issues are and then provides you with the information that you require to restore traffic appropriately. 

FTTX Network Availability Finder

One of the most common complaints from customers about telcos, is the huge amount of time it took them to get connected to fibre. This is not a good start to a healthy customer relationship. Wouldn't it be great, to know at a glance, where you can offer your customers fibre, and instantly know details about the cost, risk and complexity of the installation?
Imagine how that would speed up the provisioning process and result in happy customers?

The good news is that now you can, no matter where you are, and where they are.

Cutover Manager for Planned Outages

Most network outages occur after an initial fault has occurred, and because of bandwidth capacity issues on back up routes. In modern networks full of virtual connections, bandwidth is very dynamic. Capacity management is critical, even on protected routes that normally do not carry any traffic.

The good news is that these calculations can be automated. Now you can analyse the details before any protection switching is implemented and make the best decisions.
