Versatel Süddeutschland Fotios Tsifotidis Network Planning

Versatel Süddeutschland is one of the major telecommunication network operators in Germany. It runs a country-wide network with approx. 200 sites. Up to now Visual NetPlanner has been used for the planning and documentation of 52 sites (EWSD, POP, BB) with 63 distribution frames.

"We chose Visual NetPlanner because we can project, document and manage our sites and our distribution frames effectively with it."

"The rule-based configuration of the distribution frames significantly simplifies planning. The automatically generated parts lists are the basis for our material orders in SAP."

"On the basis of the excellent documentation we can immediately provide information about every site. We can always determine the current assignment, existing free slots or the completion status of every distribution frame. This allows us to react more quickly to customer requests and to plan extensions or modifications in a shorter time."

"With the implementation of the software we succeeded in establishing standards for products, as well as for the identification and structure of the distribution frames. The automatic assignation of identification makes it possible to identify clearly every distribution frame, bay, module and connection point. As a result, errors and double assignations are avoided."

"Cooperation with the installers has improved significantly since the implementation of the software, because with a foundation of precise drawings and parts lists there are hardly any installation errors. The identification labels generated by the software facilitates the building and installation of the distribution frames. Especially during network operation, the clear identification enables a quicker tracking of errors."

"The menu prompts and the dialogues in the software are very well thought-out."

"We would like to emphasize in particular the competent technical guidance and the excellent practical support X-Visual Technologies provided us."
