Construction and Facility Management
Crossings and Construction Planning How many customers may be impacted? Is re-routing necessary? Facility Management Taxation – depends on municipality Emergency planning – earthquake zone for
example
Planning
New exchanges may be built as cities expand Each exchange has a maximum number of
subscribers As subdivisions grow, new exchanges may be
required New network build-out New capacity build must take subscriber growth
into account
Marketing
Service footprint Advertising wireless coverage Advertising high speed internet footprint Identifying underserved markets Mapping underutilized network capacity Where are there potential new sales with minimal
overhead

Extracting Design Files
Telcos share facility location data with cable locate service providers Design files are segmented Exchange information stored in separate database One Call needs the legal location and location code
