The Esri team is continuing to refine and improve the data model for comms data management on ArcGIS Utility Network Management. Use this thread to provide input on the requirements of the data model, capabilities of the telecom network, ask questions about the network, access early versions of data models, and stay up to date on the latest news.

Vision and Overview of the Utility Network

With the release of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6 and ArcGIS Pro 2.1, the Utility Network Management extension is offered as a comprehensive solution to managing utility and telecom networks (telecom model not available with first release). Core tools within the Utility Network Toolbox can be used to create and configure the utility network. For automation purposes, the Utility Network Package Tools from the ArcGIS solutions team are available with asset packages for electric, gas, and water domains.

My requirement feedback would be to ensure that it aligns with the old Telecom data model and provides tools that align to at the least the old Telecom tools. We have built our tools and schema around this. Thank you!

Would strands still be represented by logical tables in UN going forward?

Are there any details about copper vs fiber with this new network? Although new copper construction is almost nonexistent for us, we do have a substantial amount of both copper and fiber in our network. We model copper the best we can with the current fiber model, but there are limitations. Will the new data model be fiber-centric or will it be more flexible?

Please share a link if this discussion has already been had.

Is the new release of Utility Network available and able to support Telecommunications network infrastructure yet?

If not, what is the ETA for this to happen?

Thank you.

Is there any documentation on which versions of Enterprise, Pro, and Asset Packages play well with each other? Any dependencies etc. For example can the early preview of the fiber package work on 10.6 and Pro 2.4
