Professional network planning requires accurate data, close coordination, and a seamless process from concept to realized infrastructure. cableScout® is the network planning software that fully connects planning with as-built documentation. All network planning activities are based directly on the existing as-is documentation – available resources are automatically taken into account and unnecessary investments are avoided.

A key advantage of the cableScout® network planning software: the planning mode sits directly on top of the current as-is documentation. The user immediately sees which capacities already exist, which cables and ducts are available, and where optimization potential lies. This prevents over-dimensioning, reduces unnecessary investments, and significantly accelerates the entire network planning process.

Network planning in cableScout® covers the full spectrum: from small measures such as connecting a single new customer or switching signals on and off, to large-scale expansion projects such as designing a complete FTTH cluster.

For FTTH projects, cableScout® offers a powerful automated network planning function. After selecting the service area and the central office, the system creates the entire network structure street by street – from the central office down to individual subscriber connections. This includes creating buildings with residential and commercial units, installing appropriate equipment, laying ducts and micro-ducts with color coding, and blowing fibers to the defined termination points.

For subsidized network planning projects, cableScout® generates a specialized shapefile export compliant with GIS supplementary conditions 3.x/4.x of Atene KOM.

During network planning, all data flows into a dedicated project management system. Multiple authorized users can work on the same planning in parallel. Large-scale network planning projects can be broken down into any number of sub-activities and assigned to different contractors. Project progress is transparently trackable at any time via defined status values. After project completion, network planning data is seamlessly transferred to the as-built documentation.

At the touch of a button, cableScout® generates all documents required for implementation: work orders, splice and patch plans, duct and construction plans, and material lists. This saves time, reduces coordination effort, and ensures all parties work with identical, up-to-date information from the network planning process.

Network planning software like cableScout® enables structured, data-driven planning of fiber and telecommunications networks. Because network planning is built directly on the as-built documentation, existing resources are optimally utilized, unnecessary investments avoided, and the entire planning process significantly accelerated.

Yes. Network planning in cableScout® supports all FTTx topologies – FTTH, FTTB, and FTTC – in Point-to-Point (P2P) and Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) structures. The software fully maps physical and logical network layers (NE3 and NE4).

Yes. cableScout® has a role-based permission system that allows multiple planners to work in parallel. Planned objects, connections, and signals are always identifiable by color and planning number.

After project completion and sign-off, network planning data is seamlessly transferred to the as-built documentation. There is no gap between network planning and operations – the network can be managed immediately.
