Using Google Maps in support of the National Program of Telecom Infrastructure Inventory (UKE)

Overview

The goal of the project was to establish a web-based platform that integrates telecommunication network inventory of geospatial data and allows users to query, visualize and analyze the location of telecom assets. In addition, the requirements included the ability for Users to report on the demand for telecom services in support of investment planning.

The Impact

The telecom inventory covered public and private telecommunications networks, telephone services, data transmission services for broadband Internet, and radio and television broadcasting services.

The outcome

GISonLine established a telecommunications web mapping solution that was based on a technology stack using Geoserver / Google Maps technology/ PostgreSQL / Postgis.

The implemented solution allowed clients to view and provide information on the availability of infrastructure and telecom services provided to the public.

Development of the telecom mapping portal incorporated the business needs and requirements to enable end users to:

• Perform online searching of physical assets & services
• Report on the demand for new services
• Download telecommunications data packages
• Connect to multiple spatial services for data analysis
• Generate reports
• Connect to external spatial data repositories
