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.

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
