IntroductionSince the first operating license for the
telecommunication service was issued by the
Nigeria Communication Commission about a
decade ago, the Nigeria telecom industry has
witnessed a rapid expansion
Introduction contdMany of the facilities are being deployed to
support broadband digital network for
ubiquitous, high bandwidth, digital
connectivity to end users as the basis for
high-speed, digital, interactive, multimedia
services
GIS in Telecommunication management The use of GIS in the telecommunication network management is
informed by;
Rapid expansion of telecommunication infrastructure in the urban
environment
Increasing dependant of social and business transactions on information
communication technologies
Need for effective management of the infrastructure
Increased market competition
Need for efficient and effective service provision
Telecommunication Network Architecture
The fixed wired technology is particularly
useful for provisioning of high-speed data
services
This is because it is implemented using the
fibre optic technology which is not affected by
weather conditions.
The high-speed data network is composed of fibre
optic cables which forms the backbone of the network
It connects major cities and allows the network to
function as a unit
Fibre optic cables are also used within the city in
linking MDFs
Telecommunication Network Architecture contd
Telecommunication Network Architecture contd
The MDF could be described as the core/access
network interface
The cross connect cabinet (CCC) is considered as
the segment between primary and secondary cables
The Distribution Point (DP) is the last point before
the subscriber home
Telecommunication Network Architecture contd
GIS in network Infrastructure ManagementGeographic information system is used as network inventory
and infrastructure management tool in the access network
It correctly represents the network elements in the form of
maps
Captures all attribute data of the elements
Fault localization
Report generation
GIS in network Infrastructure Management contd.
useful in managing network resources
planning for network expansion
Minimize downtime resulting from cable
damage and equipment failure
