Resources for a Telecom newbie?

JoshGumm — Wed, 01 Feb 2017 22:29:13 GMT

Hello all,

I have many years of experience in the GIS field, mainly in Local Government. I have a new role working for a telecom company to help them implement and move from a CAD based system to an Enterprise GIS. I thought I would reach out to the community to see if folks have any resources that would be useful for me in learning more about the industry, jargon, etc.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Josh,

This might be a good place to start, ArcGIS Solutions

(for some odd reason, the link does not go directly to the Telecommunications section, just scroll down a little on the page)

Hope this helps,

Thanks Derek. I've explored all the content on the Telecom pages and looked at some of the sample solutions. I guess I was looking for more regarding the assets and operations from the data management side.

Thanks,

Josh

Hi Josh,

I don’t know of any formal resources for you to review, outside of simply searching the internet for resources on the topic of interest. Depending on the type of telecom network you are trying to manage, I am sure a search will return something. For example, FTTH Network via Wikipedia has some good information to help you get started. I am sure you have already started down this path

On a related note, perhaps you would be interested in a demo of our ESRI specific partner solution for telecommunication asset management? (http://partners.esri.com/PartnerDetail?id=a2T70000000TNPrEAO) Through a small showcase of our solution, I could help you get up to speed on some concepts and terminology used in managing a telecommunication network. This could be an informal Q&A session, again, with the goal to help you get the answers you need in order to get you familiar with the domain. Let me know if this is something of interest. I would be happy to help where I can. Happy fact finding!!

Hey Matt,

The most useful was really just learning from the folks in the office with day to day operations.

Thanks,

Josh
