Historically, new infrastructure deployments are impeded by a limited understanding of the structural integrity of poles in an outside plant network. It is vital that all parties involved in the deployment of wireless and wireline infrastructure understand the basics of pole loading analysis, including why it is important, what factors have the greatest impact, and what solutions can be used to ensure timely customer access to new services. During this webinar, we will discuss the importance of performing pole loading analysis, as well as the various methods that can be used to determine a pole’s remaining capacity.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the fastest-growing areas in the technology industry, enabling companies to connect with a multitude of devices, users and systems, and to learn from the data they collect.

What if you have an opportunity to facilitate GDPR compliance with a mature technology and significant cost reduction? Data virtualization is a mature, cost-effective technology that enables privacy by design to facilitate GDPR compliance.

In a webinar not to be missed, ‘Is legacy GIS failing network infrastructure companies?’, our panel of experts explore this strategic question in depth and set out recommendations for network operators facing legacy GIS challenges. This webinar is now available to view on demand. Network infrastructure providers are dealing with increasingly complex ecosystems involving a wide range of software applications that support many different field construction and maintenance activities. Core to a technology strategy is a GIS solution, but most were designed 20-30 years ago for the creation and maintenance of paper maps that record network assets.
