GIS Network Engineering
In last edition , I just mentioned the term Network Engineering. But what realistic development and some sensitive applications developed made the team as Global Champions in GIS &Network Engineering ?
During the course of Telecommunication project progress, the management engaged international consultants like Accenture, CapGemini... for Business database and Business Support System and Telecordia for Operation Support system.Even they employed some specialists from Hindustan Lever. My team was feeling that there are nobody in management who noticed their GIS /NE developments and potential to meet the challenges of BSS and OSS in telecommunication field! Typical of my Network leads, they started brooding to come out with some world class application development in GIS/NE.
They identified the requirement for formatted address data base and need for populating them for BSS. At that time in India, we did not have standards for address data. So, with the help of Don Carson & Indian Post&Telegraph Dept. data, they developed a standardized format for address data. Then came the challenge of how&who/which team will undertake that responsibility of data acquiring the field data all across various cities of India. So the map wing was asked to assign unique ID for each object/ building in every satellite image digitized output for every city. This challenging task was undertaken and the work method went on just like a newspaper printing press !
Then came the field data collection! The business group was looking for the potential business building wise in identified pockets in a city. As at that time, mobile phone capacity & capability were not known to anybody, it was thought that this service may be picked only by affluent customers&hence identification of value potential arose.But today, even the ordinary folk in rural areas cannot live without a mobile phone! That is the beauty of Digitization revolution.
To start with, the management gave that responsibility to M/S Mudra Communications , a group company of Reliance for data collection. That exercise became a joke! While gathering data in Hyderabad city, for potential Rs 1 lac. worthy customer listing, they even included a mediocre barber saloon. This came to light when we were validating the data. As we could not afford with those data for network provisioning of last mile to a building , we took over that responsibility also.
The responsibility was taken over by me under my direct supervision and Mohit Jain helped me.
We shall see how that task was executed and identification of last mile engineering progressed.
