Overview
Due to the ever increasing expansion of broad
band networks and the resulting set up of FTTx
infrastructures, network providers are
increasingly faced with additional reasons to
adopt a modern and powerful planning,
management and documentation system.
ConnectMaster® Rapid Network Planner was
developed based on these new requirements and
automates the entire process, from rough
planning to the preparation of construction
documents and work orders, including detailed
specifications of costs for individual building
projects.
The combined GIS and intuitive user interface
optimises the customer’s workflow, wherein all
relevant network objects (ducts, micro-ducts,
splice-enclosures, cables, fibres, etc.) are taken
into account.
Flexible area of application With ConnectMaster® Rapid Network Planner
it is possible to plan the entire infrastructure,
from backbone to building connection for all
possible variants of an FTTx network. At the
same time, the software supports both P2P and
PON technologies. Additionally, comprehensive
functions are offered to manage all types and
structures of ducts and duct subsystems,
including micro-ducts and man-holes. The
integrated cable and fibre management system
automatically generates all end-to-end fibre
connections and interconnections within the
relevant ducts and sub-ducts. In the process,
splice enclosures and cassettes and the
connectivity of the cables at the junctions will be
considered and automatically created within the
system.
Software Solutions for Telecom Professionals
Rapid Network Planner supports the planning of the entire FTTx Infrastructure from the Backbone to the BEP

Engineering support
ConnectMaster® Rapid Network Planner offers
comprehensive engineering support.
Thus the necessary infrastructure components
(pipes, shafts, cables, sleeves, etc.) are
automatically dimensioned and/or selected
based on user-defined criteria and
dependencies. The user only needs to select the
route and the required customer and/or building
connections on the GIS user interface. The
entire FTTx infrastructure of the selected
region is subsequently created automatically in
the system. In the process, ConnectMaster®
Rapid Network Planner can automatically
model the FTTx infrastructure for an area of
several thousand customers within only a few
minutes, which makes it possible to realise
massive time savings as compared to traditional
methods.
Evaluations and reporting
Based on the FTTx infrastructure generated in
one region, the associated reports and
documents are generated at the push of a
button. This includes work orders for the
installers like building instructions and splice
plans as well as material and parts lists
including cost specifications. Besides these
basic reports, the software also offers
comprehensive functionalities to evaluate the
degree of utilisation of routes, cables or
available splice capacity of joints as well as
free / used cabinet slots. The reports can be
independently expanded thanks to integrated
filter and report components.
Integrated GIS standard
A major component of ConnectMaster®
RapidNetwork Planners is the integrated
Geographic Information System MapInfo®
from Pitney Bowes Business Insight. Through
the integration of this worldwide leading
Location Intelligence solution, all major GIS
functionalities necessary for comprehensive
FTTx network planning are available within
one tool. Because MapInfo® also supports all
common international GIS standards, the data
exchange of GIS plans and information from
inventory data systems can be realised easily.
Network operations
ConnectMaster® Rapid Network Planner
also offers many advantages to the user in
running network operation. Thus the software
can also illustrate the logical level with all active
devices and technical transmission structures.
This makes it possible to manage existing
services and their relationship to the physical
infrastructure integrated into one system.
Within the context of troubleshooting, the
system can identify immediately which services
and customer connections run on which end-to-
end fibre connection. Thus the software also
supports major requirements in the sphere of
fault management and offers functionality that
includes:
• Impact analysis
Which services / customer connections are
disrupted when a specific cable or network
element fails
• Fault localisation
“Fault on Map” function for the calculation
and display of the fibre breaking point on
the GIS map based on OTDR measurement
Open system / interfaces
ConnectMaster® Rapid Network Planner was
developed with state-of-the-art software
technology, supports common software and
system standards and, as an open system,
provides interfaces to other OSS systems.
Examples are:
• Provisioning Systems
• Fault Management Systems
• Billing Systems
• Network Management Systems
• GIS-Systems
Benefits
Due to the high degree of automation of the
FTTx planning tasks, ConnectMaster® Rapid
Network Planner enables massive time savings
as early as the planning stage, which ensures
that investments in the software are amortised
within a short time. More than 150 customers
worldwide rely on the practical and future-
orientated ConnectMaster®solution.
