INNOVATION IN COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS
Consolidated Utility Services provides utility damage-prevention services and
asset-management solutions. Through one-call utility notification and private
contracts, the firm’s field technicians detect and mark the presence of millions
of buried utility and telecom facilities every year. All of its operating companies
share a dedication to long-term customer satisfaction, which is characterized by
a relentless pursuit of process and quality improvements.
This project provided a custom deployment of Bentley PowerMap Field for
Communications to provide locating services for a client in southeastern
United States. Field technicians are now equipped with a mobile mapping tool
for data collection and analysis of underground facilities. The GPS-integrated
device automatically delivers maps that provide an accurate depiction of the
underground network based on the user’s current GPS coordinates. The result is
utility records that are accurate, up to date, and easily accessible.

Digital Statements–Telecommunication Network Demarcation
Praha, Czech Republic
Telefónica 02 Czech Republic is a major operator of voice and data services in
Praha, Czech Republic, with more than 7 million fixed and mobile lines covering
the country. Telefónica 02 maintains complex documentation of the network
and its components, providing some of this information to internal users,
external partners, and the public. The existence of cable network connectivity
in given areas is a frequent question.
Telefónica 02 developed an automated electronic communications system to
deliver responses to requestors. The web-based solution uses Bentley Geo Web
Publisher, third-party applications based on the Oracle 10g platform, and a web
portal administrator. Users input a request via the web portal, the specified
area of the network is searched, and a PDF file with supplemental information is
e-mailed to the requestor.
