Tracking the entire progress of network construction, expansion, and modernization is a significant challenge. Network investments are typically dispersed across various locations, and information is often stored by individual project managers in separate files, such as Excel spreadsheets. This fragmentation makes data hard to access and inconsistencies prevalent. This is especially true for large telecommunications companies whose networks span multiple cities, regions, and even countries. The solution to these issues is our FTTH Investment Tracker.
What Is FTTH Investment Tracker?
FTTH Investment Tracker is a tool designed for telecommunications operators to efficiently monitor their investment progress. It’s built on the Geographic Information System, GeoGrid, and the FME Platform for data management. FTTH Investment Tracker offers transparency and quick access to essential information about ongoing network construction and expansion projects.
How Does It Work?
FTTH Investment Tracker allows you to assess project progress across various locations with a single glance at the map. The solution helps to analyze grouped information about projects in regions as well as individually, i.e. a set of address points covered by the investment.
Monitoring Network Expansion Progress on a Map
When regional managers report the status of their projects, the information is displayed on a map in FTTH Investment Tracker. Staff responsible for the overall investment development can access this information and easily track progress across different regions.
Each project includes specific addresses where the telecommunications network is being built. Project budgets and risks are visualized on the map using colored circles. The size of the circle corresponds to the project’s budget, while the color indicates the level of risk: green for low risk, yellow for medium risk, orange for high risk, and red for very high risk.

When you enlarge the project view, the map presents specific addresses and buildings covered by the investment, along with the project status at each location. This status is marked with a corresponding color: green for “ready for service launch” and red for “not yet finished.” This makes it easy to determine which addresses are still in progress and what the work status is.
Easy access to the work status at each location can help improve the efficiency of the sales department and accelerate service delivery at the “ready for service” addresses.

Quick Analyses of Regional Work Through Clear Dashboards
Information about specific projects can be easily accessed by clicking on them, which displays detailed data in a table. Additionally, regional project information can be visualized through graphic comparisons on dashboards. These dashboards allow you to compare projects based on various metrics such as risk, budget, and completion status.
This functionality enables you to quickly determine how many projects are “not yet started” within a given region, identify areas where work is progressing slower than expected, and pinpoint factors that are impeding progress. This insight allows for timely remedial action.

Simple Integration with Other Systems
FTTH Investment Tracker can be seamlessly integrated with external systems that contain information about the overall investment status and specific buildings. This integration eliminates the need for manual data entry, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.
All project information displayed in FTTH Investment Tracker can also be exported to an Excel file for further analysis or reporting.
