Fiber Inside Plant Software Documents, Maintains Precise Location and Connectivity for Headend Equipment



EDMONTON, AB - November 2003 - Communication Networks Inside Plant (CommNets Inside Plant) software by Kanotech is an integral part of a suite of products designed by Kanotech for firms that have RF and/or Fiber Optic networks. CommNets Inside Plant enables companies to quickly, easily, and accurately document the precise location and connectivity information for all the equipment in headend and central office facilities.

Acting as central source for all headend and facilities data, CommNets Inside Plant enables large numbers of users to simultaneously gain access to detailed information on a large number of facilities and its equipment in an easy to use Microsoft Visio interface. Thus, CommNets Inside Plant provides firms with a single solution for managing floor plans, racks, rack mounted equipment, non-rack mounted equipment, connectivity between equipment objects in the facility, and connectivity with fiber outside plant.

A "shrink-wrapped" solution, CommNets Inside Plant enables broadband companies to quickly implement and begin to realize a return on their investment in a short period of time. For example, users can quickly get started using CommNets Inside Plant by importing existing floor plan drawings that are in common CAD formats, including DWGs, DXFs and DGNs. Users can then access and edit floor plans as well as edit and add racks, rack mounted equipment, and non-rack mounted equipment data using easy to read forms.

CommNets Inside Plant is about being easy-to-use, but it's also about being easy to administer. CommNets Inside Plant is highly configurable through easy to use forms-for example, administrators have the ability to add equipment, modify the information tracked for each type of equipment, and control what information is required versus optional.
