Traditional telecom and fiber mapping methods offer many challenges to those performing the work. Without accurate information and marked locations, mistakes can be made and the work delayed. To avoid these challenges Juniper Systems has created Uinta. Uinta is an easy-to-use and customizable mapping software. Juniper Systems recently held an online webinar for telecom and fiber professionals detailing how Uinta and Juniper Systems’ range of rugged hardware can help overcome challenges in the field.
In this blog, we take a look at the pain points that can hinder work and how Uinta helps overcome that. Below is the recorded version of our recent webinar for telecom and fiber professionals. The webinar offers a full demo of how Uinta can be used in the telecom and fiber industry.
Challenges of traditional survey and mapping for telecom and fiber
With telecom, fiber, and other above and below-ground utilities, location and placement are vital. Many of the challenges that are present include missing flags, expensive survey mapping, expensive GPS equipment, complex software, and worn or faded paint from areas that have been marked days or weeks in advance. Data management can also be a hassle to maintain and disperse relevant information to others.
These challenges can lead to frustrated teams, broken cables, lost time, loss of money, and faulty information. Uinta was designed to help ease these pain points and make work for teams easier and more efficient.
How Uinta fits with telecom and fiber projects
Uinta was designed to be customizable by either Juniper Systems or the end-user. Uinta is a data collection and mapping software. Those two features allow Uinta to be versatile and used in many applications. For telecommunication and fiberoptic that includes mapping assets, locations, holes, current runs, etc. That also means that detailed notes and images can be captures in the same software. This allows Uinta to be an all-in-one solution for mapped data and field notes.
Uinta also works online or offline. Once a connection is restored that information can be synced with the cloud and accessed by any other Uinta user. This allows those in the office and teams in the field to have up-to-date information about all current projects.
Uinta’s top features include:
- Efficient Data Capture
