Connected networks: monitoring the fibre network

Rapid development of a real-time application for monitoring fallen telecom poles.

Telcomat, an expert in telecom networks, has connected and digitised the telecom poles of an international operator to detect, locate, and create alerts of fallen poles via its application.

The Kuzzle IoT open-source Smart City platform manages all the infrastructure online, facilitating monitoring.
It also simplifies the management and recording of maintenance operations, helping ensure they are implemented correctly.
The operator will thus be able to improve pole repair times, reduce the rate of reported breakdowns, and make maintenance operations safer.

Reduced time-to-market

Weeks of development

« Not only was the application quick to develop and deploy, but through its expertise and know-how, Kuzzle contributed to the success of the project. Positive collaboration with the Kuzzle team both technically and in terms of end-to-end project support, as well as our knowledge of the needs related to the management of telecom pole infrastructure, are the key to this success.»

Monitoring of fallen poles in the telecom network

Inventory & alerts

The supervisor visualises their pole infrastructure on a map and monitors its status in real time. They are notified of any malfunctions detected on telecom poles.

Geolocation

Thanks to the geolocation system, the maintenance technician goes to the site via the best available route and fixes the problem in complete safety.

Data history

Kuzzle IoT facilitates the management and storage of service data in order to insure correct implementation. The detection angle can be adjusted to suit the terrain.

Mobile application for locating connected telecom poles

With the real-time Mobile and Web application, crews have real-time information on pole status and can:

Get an overview of the pole infrastructure and the associated services
Monitor falls with real-time alerts and notifications
Protect staff performing maintenance operations
Locate poles and calculate optimal routes for intervention
Add new services connected to the poles.

Results of the project developed with the Kuzzle IoT Smart City solution

Our Smart City solution is currently being deployed in the Paris region to carry out all the tests required to validate the project, in areas chosen by the supervisors for their accident-prone nature.

TELCOMAT SAS is a French family business launched in 2010 by Roger Belval which has developed a complete range of equipment, tools, and installation machines dedicated to the construction and maintenance of underground and overhead telecom networks.
TELCOMAT has positioned itself as an expert in telecommunications infrastructure, and has been supplying regional very high speed broadband (VHS) sites for several years.
