LMKR and PTCL recently signed an agreement for the deployment of a state-of-the-art turnkey GIS solution. The solution will enable PTCL to better manage Access and Transmission networks and inside plant (OSP and ISP) infrastructure including its copper and optical fibre network. The GIS component will offer greater visibility to the technical staff by providing quantitative and qualitative spatial information about the capacity and integrity of the PTCL network and pinpoint faults and issues when they arise.
Phase-1 of the turnkey project will be cover the Islamabad region. The GIS-system will eventually be implemented across Pakistan and will become the only project of its kind to be put into practice on this scale in the South Asian region.
The objective is to design a robust and streamlined architecture that can be scaled to the national level. The resulting solution will significantly improve the operational efficiency through consolidation and better representation of spatial information. This system will become the backbone of PTCL’s decision-making framework in terms of planning new expansions and maintaining existing infrastructure. It will also enable timely and efficient deployment of new technologies such as GPON and NGN. The consumer being the ultimate beneficiary will experience consistent quality of services and a more fault-tolerant network.
For PTCL this project will be a key strategic initiative in their long-term growth plans and reinforce their position as the largest and most innovate telecom player in the industry. This will also act as a testament to Etisalat and PTCL’s collective drive for innovation and industry leadership. For LMKR, this project will be another milestone, reinforcing our solid grounding and experience in the telecom domain. For Pakistan, projects of this nature will position the country head-to-head with some of the most developed telecommunication industries in the world.
