Inventory Data Conversion, Data Visualization,
and Data Distribution
As the largest fiber conversion project
in the USA, the scope of work for this project
covered a 13-state region with almost
3,100 Wire Centers and 69 Planning and
Design Centers. This constitutes a mapped
area of 35% of the continental United States.
Kinetic Solutions mapped all fiber optic lines
through their client's entire thirteen
state coverage area. In addition to the
map creation, the client requested
that Kinetic Solutions demonstrate
methods of viewing and querying the
data by using web browser tools
throughout their organization.
This project allowed the client to view capacity
levels of these fiber lines to assure
compliance with various internal and external
(Federal) requirements. The client recognized
that by using Kinetic Solutions as part of their
solution, they could save considerable time
and money compared to doing this project
internally.
The nature of this project was to provide
the client with the map data necessary
to identify capacity of their fiber
lines. Early on, the client also
recognized the need for technical
and marketing staff to access,
query and view these maps and
their associated data files. Kinetic
