Utility network for Telecommunications

RajeshMane3

Hi,

My name is Rajesh Mane. We are planning to implement Utility network for our existing datamodel. Our datamodel replicated from Ericson's Network Engineer data model. It built on geometric network principals.

Can any idea do we have anything similar which can ease our migration of existing datamodel to esri's utility network.

Does esri provides sample datamodel which built on UN for Telecommunications and fiber networks.

We would appreciate If ESRI throw some highlights on this topic as well.

In my search , I saw several topics in Utility network that supports GAS , WATER and Electric but not much on Telco side. If any one has implemented or migrated their telco network then pls share your experience.

I heard there is Utility network configuration extension required to built compressive datamodel. Any plans for release similar for telco ? If yes. By when ?

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Rajesh Mane

As rkrisher‌ said, the Telecommunications Utility Network Configuration, which will include the telco data model, has not been released yet. Currently, we anticipate a Q2 2019 release.

This blog provides an update. https://community.esri.com/community/telecommunications/blog/2019/08/05/network-transformation-a-strategic-investment-in-new-capabilities

Anything yet?

DamienPyne

Thanks Howard,

Is there any information on the model itself you can provide? Proposed data model? Proposed capability - ie is this just the bearers, or will it manage the individual fibers?

Hi Damien

We don't have a beta version that we can share yet. Currently, we are targeting a Q1 2020 release.

I updated the thread Robert shared above to reflect that date.

Damien,

I'm not an Esri person so I'm in the same boat as you 😃 The last status I saw on this was on another thread ( https://community.esri.com/thread/214206-esri-utility-network-configuration-and-migration-tool-status ) that quoted Q3 2019. Here's hoping 😃

DamienPyne

hcrothers-esristaff , Robert Krisher do you have an update on this?

Is there a beta version of the model available?

Appreciate Howard for quick reply.

My organization is new to Pro. We want to stay away from Ericsson Network engineer. As you have said we can still use our datamodel but we don't have it. Currently what we have is Ericsson Network engineer and its datamodel. We are in the process of creating our own telco datamodel but what we know is Geometric network. The current version is 9.3.1. Also as per my exploration on esri documentation UN has its extension for various stream (e.g. electric , Gas, water). So in that case do we need wait for that ? and how it gives benefit to UN Datamodel ?

IF we build our datamodel with some existing datamodel study , will we able leverage the benefits of UN functionalities that are currently available in Pro. In future as esri said earlier, if they come up with esri datamodel and UN extension for Telco how we can migrate. I need to understand this first. If you brief something on this lines would be highly appreciable.

Yes, you can still use the utility network without an Esri supplied a telco data model today. You would need to create your own data model and configure a utility network for it.

I have one small query. As you have said telco model not yet released. Can we still go for Utility Network and its extension. If yes, How ?

RajeshMane3

Thanks.

We are putting that on our roadmap. Happy to hear more on this from your representative.

Also , Schematics diagrams that are currently on 9.3.1. Any roadmap for migration those in Network diagrams?

Regards,

Rajesh

Rajesh,

That's a great question for you to take to your Esri representative. Because getting from your current model to the new telco model will require performing a data conversion you could begin putting this on your road map. If you wanted to be an early adopter you could begin by standing up an environment to get familiar with one of the models that has been released (electric, water, or gas) along with the tools and workflows provided by the application. If you were to start standing up a sandbox now that would give you approximately one year to get familiar with the Utility Network and begin planning for how you will adopt it going forward.

The Telco model has not yet been released. Last I heard it was scheduled to be released sometime around either the UC or the end of the year (2018).
