Cable-Scout® is a cable management system developed especially for the documentation, administration and planning of communications, data and control cable networks. The system enables the user to administer and represent copper, optical fiber, broadband and fttx networks from superregional sites down to the signal layer of each individual wire or fiber. Cable-Scout offers decisive advantages in terms of functional variety, ease of operation, data safety, network transparency and speed. Even with very extensive networks , such as the one run by the Swiss telecom company Cablecom, which includes approximately 700,000 stations and several million kilometers of optical fiber cabling, the user can still rely on clear layouts and convenient, quick processing.
More than 180 customers comprise companies of various sizes and from quite different sectors, for instance telecommunication companies, electricity, gas and oil suppliers, municipal utilities, airports, city carriers, mining companies, Federal agencies, cable TV providers, server farms, hospitals, consulting engineers, etc. Among our references we are proud to list some of the major players in the European market
What makes Cable-Scout better than other systems:
- Does not need external software (like GIS, VISIO or AutoCAD) to show graphics and is therefore equipped with many more network specific functionalities.
- The user works directly in the graphics and from there fills the database with info's. This makes the software so user friendly as no complicated lists have to be filled in.
- Cable-Scout covers the network from super-regional location down to the signal layer of the cable (physical, logical and virtual layer documentation).
- With an Oracle database (standard edition) and the highly specialized algorithms almost no waiting time occurs where other programs need a long time.
- Cable-Scout shows all information's (cable run, involved equipment, locations etc) for solving problems.
- CS covers all transmission technologies and network topologies.
- Modular structure and many interfaces make the software adjustable to any company requirement, infrastructure and budget.
- Many special functionalities like work orders and tickets, route search with optimization criteria's, GPS search of fiber breaks, planning of new network parts, autorouting of signals from start to end etc. make the administration of the network highly efficient.
- Required new network objects can be created directly in the libraries.
- Cable-Scout runs on all possible server constellations.
