Automated Broadband Designer

Fiber networks deployed in less time

Built on AutoCAD, Automated Broadband Designer applies your design and engineering standards to ensure consistency across teams, automates BOMs, simplifies permit and construction packages, supports GIS and EAM/ERP integration to eliminate manual data entry – all to make sure your design data stays clean, your construction packages are accurate, and you can deploy networks to meet the growing demand for broadband infrastructure.

Automate tasks and BOMs

  • Repetitive manual tasks are automated to dramatically increase productivity.
  • Multiple design elements can be placed at the same time as a template, including structural hierarchies.
  • A granular Bill of Materials is maintained during design work, not produced manually after-the-fact.

Automatically apply design and engineering standards

  • You’re design experts—not developers. Define the standards and templates to fully configure the solution
  • The Rules Engine provides checks and validations to ensure quality and compliance.
  • Designs become consistent with little to no QA/QC required.

Simplify permit and construction package preparation

  • The system simultaneously maintains a 3D model of the 2D design.
  • Callouts, annotations, details and notes are generated from the data and easy to manage.
  • The design is used to produce permit and construction drawings based on pre-set standards and formats with no extra steps.

Connect critical systems to design to eliminate manual data entry

  • “GEO-enabled CAD” means that real-world projections and coordinate systems are used in detailed design.
  • Intelligent network models are used in the CAD environment; includes features classes, attributes, specifications, relationships and connectivity.
  • Integration with GIS and ERP/EAM systems is supported with model mapping and two-way data sync including all changes.
