Network Operations

Description:

Key technologies include distributed systems, mobile computing and services, network optimization, monitoring, testing, design.

Certain Terms and Conditions Apply to Licensing all Technologies

	Technology

	Copper Conditioning
	Outside Plant Engineering and Construction recommendations for conditioning a Distribution Area (DA) for Very High Bit Rate DSL (VDSL/2) product suites Simplifies design and work processes as well as eliminates possible future trouble locations along the lateral.

	OPT-E-MAN Toolset
	Network planning tool set for MPLS and custom switched Metro Ethernet network designs without MPLS. Use of tool allows planners to find optimal design and connectivity based on a series of constraints including equipment, capacity availability, diversity, class of service, phase-in deployment and administrative/ operations. Significant potential capital and operating expense savings. Saves planning time from weeks to hours and minutes, with optimized design. Fully automated comparison of different architectures providing What-if-Analysis, NPV and other financial analysis tools.

	PSTN Trunk Optimization
	Trunk optimization toolset that assists planners to determine most cost-effective trunking approach based on a variety of current traffic data and expected growth. Saves time and increases efficiency in reacting to traffic volume changes over time thereby avoiding suboptimal routing decisions.

	Security Audit & Compliance Tool (SACT)
	IT governance tool enabling highly efficient monitoring of systems in support of internal corporate security and compliance requirements, as well as externally mandated requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley. Without SACT, data may be laboriously gathered by individuals, who contact the systems administrator for each server and manually enter data into a spreadsheet. It has been estimated that the use of SACT results in a savings of over 10 hours of effort per audited server per quarter, or 40 hours per server per year.

	U.S. Geospatial Information Systems
	AT&T's network operations developed a multitude of graphical mapping data for internal use for facilities placement and determining ad valorem tax obligations etc. The data may be useful to other businesses such as other facilities providers, real estate companies, and utility companies. Requesting companies have found AT&T's mapping data to be competitively priced, very accurate, and among the most desirable mapping data of its kind.
