From excavation to the cloud: the new FibraWeb Geoportal from NeMeA Sistemi
In an age where internet connection speeds determine the competitiveness of an entire country, the infrastructure management It can no longer remain tied to local and fragmented systems. The telecommunications sector welcomes Fibraweb, the cloud-native evolution of the long-standing ‘Fibra Ottica’ desktop plugin for GeoPortal-X. By overcoming the limitations of physical installations, this all-in-one solution has been designed to scale in line with operators’ ambitions: from local providers establishing broadband networks in their local areas, right through to large national carriers managing complex backbone networks.
The system does not merely monitor the network; it supports the operator at every stage of the work, ensuring comprehensive control over every component of the network:
- Infrastructure planning: detailed design of manholes, cabinets and cable routing.
- Fibre architecture: detailed technical documentation, including connection diagrams and physical layouts.
- Service monitoring: constant monitoring of the activation status for each individual end user.
Interoperability and SINFI standards
In a market that demands collaboration and transparency, FibraWeb ensures full compliance with the standard SINFI (Fibre-Optic Network Information System). This requirement is essential to ensure theinteroperability between the various stakeholders within the sector, facilitating the exchange of data essential for the coordination of excavations and shared access to existing infrastructure, thereby reducing impacts and construction costs.
Field operations and real-time synchronisation
The platform’s real strength lies in its ability to connect the office to the building site. Field staff, equipped with tablets or smartphones, can securely access up-to-date GIS maps and underground layout plans. The system enables a prompt response to correct any discrepancies identified on site: by uploading georeferenced photos, measurements and positional updates, the central database is synchronised instantly. Thanks to the Fibraweb API It integrates seamlessly with third-party systems, transforming network management into a dynamic, analytical process that is not limited by geographical boundaries.
