OverIT, the solution for the optimized development of new network routes

In compliance with the company’s mission to enable new digital services and continuous innovation, Open Fiber aimed at creating a tool for performing preliminary feasibility studies to develop new network routes, according to optimization logics, as well as allowing the sales division to quickly and automatically estimate the cost of any potential new connections.

Thanks to OverIT’s expertise in the TELCO market and the advanced features provided by the OverIT Solution, our Field Service Management product, the customer has been equipped with a solution that provides the best routes to connect the addresses of interest, based on selected criteria (distance, realization cost or time). It relies on heterogeneous data integration (OPEN FIBER networks, infrastructures of external technicians, OLO infrastructures, road graph) and the use of proprietary routing algorithms. The OverIT Solution routing algorithm allows the quick and configurable identification of solutions optimized according to specific criteria. Relying on topological templates, the solution generates a hypergraph which connects the graphs of the different infrastructures, thus applying the routing logics and estimating the best wiring options.

Furthermore, the flexibility of the solution allows to perform different simulations, by configuring the parameters to use for each technology (underground or aerial) and/or infrastructure type (ex-novo, designed, executed), providing a wide range of alternatives.

Within this process, OverIT Solution is integrated with:

• The Physical Network Inventory platform by Smallworld to retrieve network data for routing calculation;
• The Salesforce CRM to receive the requests for quotations for new connections.
