Original Press Release:



Coax and Fiber Drafting Software Reduces Cost of Drafting Communication Networks While Increasing End Product Quality!



EDMONTON, AB - September 2003 - Communication Networks Outside Plant Drafting (CommNets Drafting) software by Kanotech is the newest application in a suite of products designed for firms that have large RF and/or Fiber Optic networks. CommNets Drafting allows CAD Operators to draft coax and fiber outside plant infrastructure while enforcing standards and requiring drawings to pass through automated quality assurance routines-organizations can realize both a reduction in the rate paid to contractors for drafting and person hours required for quality assurance and issue resolution. The combination of these two savings make a material impact on the bottom line when one factors the cost and employee person hour savings over all the mileage that is 'touched' during an average year at an MSO.

It is through the enforcement of standards, automated quality assurance routines and the inherent capture of logical relationships (e.g., connectivity), between map objects that CommNets Drafting enables broadband companies to produce smarter and higher quality mapping than previously achievable. Furthermore, if an organization makes CommNets Drafting created mapping available to business units other than engineering through the CommNets Infrastructure Management System, other business units will realize benefits from the improved mapping. For example, marketing can now use mapping to determine where campaigns should be targeted to attract new customers based upon the equipment that services an area because CommNets Drafting is able to associate addresses with servicing equipment.

A "shrink-wrapped" solution that can be run out of the box, CommNets Drafting can also be configured to use each organization's unique standards-no programmer is needed! Thus, broadband companies will quickly realize a return on their investment through the decreased cost of drafting coax and fiber outisde plant infrastructure using the configured CommNets Drafting solution.
