VETRO FiberMap, a provider of solutions for fiber network GIS mapping and broadband infrastructure management, and COS Systems, makers of broadband survey and demand capture tools and network operations software, have integrated their respective products to share data and work in concert.
The combination of COS Service Zones and VETRO FiberMap is intended to support both demand generation and network planning and management.
The COS Service Zones toolset is designed to help Internet service providers (ISPs) assess the current landscape, measure interest in new service through direct survey, and enable peer-to-peer promotion and publicity. VETRO FiberMap is designed to provide network planning and inventory management, including inventory of network assets such as details about individual fiber strands, circuit paths, and splicing.
"COS Service Zones is winning worldwide adoption amongst ISPs, utilities, co-ops and public-private partnerships," said Isak Finer, CMO for COS Systems. "They have discovered that COS Service Zones boosts their ability to build out in a more smart and targeted way. The demand information captured in Service Zones and fed seamlessly into the VETRO FiberMap network engineering and asset management platform gives our customers a legitimate strategic advantage."
"The VETRO FiberMap network GIS platform was built from the ground up to integrate with powerful specialty tools and core business applications. Our open API stack and design philosophy makes swift integration with great partners like COS Systems easier than ever," said VETRO co-founder Will Mitchell. "The network map is at the heart of all key business for an ISP, from the demand aggregation stage of planning to build and maintenance of plant. Our platform exposes the network map in harmony with new subscriber demand, bringing together marketing, engineering and logistics to give network builders the data and continual network awareness they require for game changing network expansions with highest possible ROI."
