StellarMAP has been developed and refined for over twenty years and is recognized as a leader in the AM/FM/GIS marketplace. StellarRAD introduced the first PC-based plant mapping system in the industry and has over 70 service providers using our solutions today.
StellarMAP is a Total Solution
StellarMAP is a comprehensive solution for today's service providers. It includes the following modules at no additional cost.
- Property records (attribute management)
- Work order/staking sheet system
- Fiber management
- Circuit tracing (loop analysis)
- CPR reporting
- GPS integration
- Subscriber tracking
AutoCAD Graphic Engine
StellarMAP uses AutoCAD Map 3D for its graphic engine and GIS feature set.
AutoCAD is the most dominate CAD software in the world and this brings many benefits to the StellarMAP package.
Property Records (Attribute Manager)
The Attribute Manager is the core of StellarMAP. It tracks all property records in the system. You can change location information, add property units, send plant to a temporary repair status, etc. Features include:
- Store OSP information by route and ped/pole number: units, cable span footages, plant status codes, date placed, account number, tax district, etc.
- Standard property master table with hundreds of outside plant items and pre-defined equipment specs.
- Global update of database records
- Track cable reel numbers
- Unlimited user-defined fields
- Accommodates any network architecture: FTTH, HFC, PON, and copper facilities
Work Order System/Staking Sheet Management System
The Work Order and Staking Sheet modules make up an all-inclusive application for project management. You track work orders by service territory, engineer, department and budget item. The system features a prepost phase that assists with design for plant additions, retirements, re-arrangements and abandoned facilities. There are extensive staking sheet functions to simplify the construction print creation process and allow you to refresh edited plant designs with one mouse click. These modules also offer:
-
Tracking your project costs with great detail including:
- Labor cost
- Material costs
- Tax
- Overhead
- Construction only units
- Flexible work order tracking and reporting by company, contractor, region, exchange, remote, tax district
- Cost estimating system
- Planning and reporting tools for construction budgets
- Work order cover sheet with signature approval section and job narrative
- Automated work print generation at user-defined scale
- Freshen feature re-images placed staking sheets to reflect work order edits
- Work order viewer allows you to freeze projects, edit colors, CAD properties
Fiber Management
The Fiber Management module serializes all network elements and tracks your fiber optic facilities down to the ONT. StellarMAP stores information on both the physical and logical characteristics of your network. You define capacities automatically on placement and the system prompts you to connect network elements where applicable. Fiber features include:
- Automatically generate fiber schematics from your attribute data - splice diagrams, termination/distribution panels, circuit usage. No drafting required
- Network Model displays connectivity of strands feeding and leaving a central office, head end, cabinet, remote, etc.
- Document any fiber network with detail to include:
- Splitters, PON cards
- Termination bricks
- OLT, ONT
- Connectors
- Local Convergence Cabinet
- Strand counts including cable tags/IDs. Fiber splits can occur in CO, remote or any field location.
- Fiber trace displays connectivity backward or forward from point to point on your network.
- Trace reports display cable ID, fiber counts, dB Loss, cumulative footages and more
- Trace dark or lit strands through any sheath, equipment, patch panel and display information on: loss budgets, connector types, subscriber information, circuit data
- Circuit Tracking to:
- Report on fiber usage by customer, strand or circuit type
- Know what is available or in use
- Store origination and termination points
- Leased fiber information
- Flood Trace builds graphical view from user-defined start point, using specified criteria such as an OTDR distance or dB loss threshold
- Subscriber and circuit listings by fiber strand/cable
- Strand throw ripples new counts to maps and database. Changes all affected counts along the network path
- "Homes Passed" tool assists with the placement of equipment by reporting on number of subscribers that can be reached
Loop Analysis
The Loop Analysis module is where network connectivity is maintained on copper facilities. Some features:
- Network modeling for the connectivity of pairs leaving a CO, remote or any network element
- Cable Count Entry - Create or update the pairs and cable ID at CO, remote or cabinet
- Pair trace function generates report (and map) with detail on connectivity, cable counts, span distances and cumulative footages from a user-defined start location
- DSL Trace feature is used to pre-qualify loop dependent services like DSL or video. The system automatically builds a map of all subscribers within range of any specified field location
- Flood Trace -- Input start location to analyze network connectivity and review a scaled map that displays a buffer query of your graphics in all directions
- Subscriber List - Run reports that list subscribers fed downstream from any field location
- Cable Throw - Ripple new counts to replace the old count on cable cutovers
- Automatic updates on counts for terminals, cables, loads, etc. both graphically and in the database
Continuing Property Records (CPR)
The CPR module trends general ledger account balances and stores accurate dollar values on each unit of plant in the field. The values represent actual costs incurred for aggregate plant installation. They include plant, labor, taxes, and any other charges associated with the complete construction of outside plant projects.
- Initial setup trends all plant from the oldest to the newest based on your GL accounts and trend factors
- Stores 'per unit' dollar value for all attributes based upon their posted date, trial price and valuation code
- Subsequent trends use annual totals from the GL to trend attribute pricing
- Work order trending tracks actual costs for each project with greater accuracy
Subscriber and Marketing
The Subscriber manager stores data specific to customer premise locations. Useful information such as E911 address, access point, line equipment, specific pair/fiber status and distance from C.O./remote to qualify loop dependent services such as DSL or video are easily tracked. Features of the Subscriber module include:
- Track rate center, phone number, cable pair, preferred counts, line cards, port assignments, cross connects, OPX info, inside wiring contracts
- Create additional user defined fields relevant to subscriber premise if desired
- Index and search on any data field, including user-defined fields
- Special toolbar to accelerate linking process
- Easy integration to any third party billing system
- Use your StellarMAP data to help with marketing plans, build out schedules, prioritizing plant upgrades.
- Build thematic queries on user defined fields
- Easy presentation maps leverage graphical data with Autodesk Map's spatial features.
- Import GIS data available from the web: ESRI, MapInfo, Microstation, ArcInfo formats supported.
- Import census data, landbase, political boundaries, etc.
- Share your data and graphics with anyone in your company or anyone in the world faster than before.
- Plant information
- Subscriber data
- Billing information
GPS
The GPS module allows automated location and feature collection in the field. Features of this module include:
- Select the data fields to be included when collecting network features in the field
- Configurable Data Dictionary - Define AutoCAD layers with easy to use interface built in to StellarMAP
- Automatically create maps and write to database using Trimble handheld GPS unit
- Low cost laser guns available (with cordless Bluetooth option) to accelerate field collection
