cableScout® MOBILE: Network Information Where It’s Needed – Even Offline
Field operations, fault clearance, and construction work require fast access to current network data – regardless of whether an internet connection is available on site. cableScout® MOBILE provides all relevant fiber network data offline, geographically accurately, and in a practical format on mobile devices. The app is available for iOS, Android, and Windows.
Complete Network Data Available Offline
The mobile version mirrors the complete cableScout® database to the device: routes, ducts, cables, distribution frames, components, fibers, and signals. The display is true-to-build and geographically accurate – technicians and contractors see exactly the same information as in the office, without being dependent on a server connection. A server connection is only required for synchronizing data updates and transferring redline corrections.
Direct Fault Analysis on Site
In the field, faults can be analyzed directly: check signal routes in the schematic plan and on the map, enter OTDR measurement values and visualize the possible fault location on the map, and navigate directly to the fault location using the integrated navigation function. With cableScout® MOBILE, technicians respond to faults without having to return to the office first.
Redline Function: Capture Documentation Discrepancies Immediately
If a technician discovers a discrepancy between the documented and actual infrastructure in the field, it can be captured directly in the app. Redline corrections – as text, photo, or voice note, each with a geotag – are transferred back to the central cableScout® system in a structured manner, where they can be cleaned up. This keeps the data set continuously up to date.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which operating systems does cableScout® MOBILE support?
cableScout® MOBILE is available as a native app for iOS (Apple App Store), Android (Google Play Store), and Windows (Microsoft Store). The app can be used on all common tablets and smartphones.
Does cableScout® MOBILE work without an internet connection?
Yes. All relevant network information including map data is synchronized to the device in advance and is fully available offline. An internet connection is only required for synchronizing data updates and redline corrections.
Can external contractors use cableScout® MOBILE?
Yes. The administrator portal enables granular control of which users can access which network areas for which period of time. External contractors are given targeted access only to the data relevant to their deployment.

Easy access to network data Everywhere and offline
cableScout® Mobile is, as the name suggests, the mobile component of cableScout®. The mobile version is available as a native app for the three operating systems – iOS, Android and Windows. The software has been developed specifically for network operators, whose field employees and service providers rely on up-to-date and easily understandable network information. The application provides the huge benefit that all the important data from a fibre optic network, including any associated map materials, is available offline on a mobile device without an internet or server connection. A server connection is only required to download new or updated data or for the re-transfer of any redlinings.
Network data are transferred from cableScout® via special interfaces into the administrator portal of the mobile version. This specifies which device can retrieve or use which data and for how long. The data in the mobile version are displayed identically with the correct positioning. All important details on buildings, ducts, micro-ducts, cables, connections, signals, distribution cabinets and the components used are included.
A wide range of functions is available for the user to work with. For example, the system can search for a signal and its route can be displayed both in the schematic plan and on the map itself. If this signal is faulty, then by inputting an OTDR measurement value at the relevant measurement port the possible fault site can be visualised on the map. If required, the user can navigate directly to the relevant position using the navigation function. With cableScout® mobile the user can respond immediately to faults without having to obtain additional information from the office.
The redlining function is also particularly useful. This enables comments to be added to each network object in the form of text, speech or images. For example, if a discrepancy is detected in the documentation, this can be captured accordingly and subsequently corrected in the cableScout® data.
The app has been designed to be extremely user-friendly. No special cableScout® knowledge is required nor is there any need to attend a training course. The system is, therefore, up and running very quickly and can be used company-wide by different user groups.
