FNT Software released a new version of FNT GeoMaps, a Geo-Intelligent component within its Cable and Outside Plant Management solution. Powered by Esri ArcGIS, FNT GeoMaps provides advanced geographic features that enhance the planning, operation, and management of passive inside and outside plant infrastructure with spatial intelligence. FNT GeoMaps 4.1 now provides in-house 3D views for cable management, enabling users to visualize where cables and other passive equipment are within a building.
The new 3D view functionality is an enhancement to the digital twin of network infrastructure and provides a unique view that supports the end-to-end management of cable and network infrastructure inside, outside, and between buildings. FNT GeoMaps now displays infrastructure assets on floorplans according to their location and height, and features seamless navigation between inside and outside infrastructure where 2D and 3D models show precisely where infrastructure objects are located by building and floor layer. The combination of GeoMaps and in-house DCIM tools with 2D/3D view capabilities give organizations a complete view of the network, from the outside plant to racks in the data center. The new visualizations enable users to zoom into floors and rooms where infrastructure objects are displayed, edit objects on floor plans, and filter data by building or floor layer.
