Three Ways How Telecoms Can Level Up In 2023

Can you feel it? The world around us is undergoing a seismic shift. How we communicate, work, learn, and socialize–this digital revolution has a profound impact on every aspect of our lives. And of course, along with it, the need for higher fiber network bandwidth is growing manifolds. There is no doubt that in the realm of telecommunications, the race to monetize fiber networks is intensifying.

Worldwide, telecoms are laying fiber networks at a record speed. The demand for bandwidth is encouraging these fiber network deployments to meet the ever-rising demand for content from businesses and residential stakeholders. Simply put, the clear trend is that fiber deployment is here to stay. Our familiar world is transforming, and businesses that fail to adapt will get lost in the shuffle. 

Ultimately, the one who deploys fiber networks and makes their services available the fastest will win. For telcos, they must act quickly and smartly. Reducing the time it takes to put fiber into the ground is critical for the survival of their business. 

So What Does It Take to Level Up? In Our View, Three Simple Steps.

• Creating a Digital Twin of your FTTx Network

A digital twin refers to a virtual or digital representation of physical assets and elements of your fiber network. It encompasses a comprehensive and real-time digital replica of the physical network infrastructure, including components, configurations, and their interrelationships.

Creating a digital twin of the FTTx network enables telecoms to conduct detailed planning and design processes before actual physical deployment. With access to accurate and up-to-date data, telecoms can optimize network architecture, identify potential bottlenecks, and anticipate challenges. This proactive approach allows for better decision-making and ensures that fiber network resources are utilized efficiently, resulting in a streamlined deployment process.

• Optimize your Fiber Network Operations through Digitization

GIS or Geographic Information System and location data can help you lay the foundation for future success. Migrating the physical network assets to a digital medium is the first step to automating operational processes such as planning, feasibility, provisioning, and service assurance. This digital-first approach can unlock new efficiencies throughout your business. 

By having a comprehensive understanding of where your fiber network elements are and how they are connected, you can unleash the full potential of your network, ace the competition, and stay ahead in the fiber deployment race.

• Enhance Customer Experience

In today’s highly competitive telecom landscape, providing an exceptional customer experience is no longer just a nice-to-have, but a critical differentiator. Telecom companies need to go beyond traditional customer service methods and embrace advanced technologies to deliver personalized and seamless experiences.

Data analytics plays a crucial role in understanding customer behavior and preferences. By leveraging customer data, such as purchase history, usage patterns, and feedback, telecom companies can gain valuable insights into their customers’ needs. This enables them to offer tailored solutions and personalized offerings that align with individual preferences. For example, by analyzing data, telecom companies can proactively suggest suitable data plans, device upgrades, or value-added services based on customers’ usage patterns.

Moreover, data analytics can help identify trends and patterns in customer behavior, allowing telecom companies to anticipate customer needs and address issues promptly. This proactive approach to customer service not only improves customer satisfaction but also enhances loyalty and reduces churn.

By investing in personalized self-service portals, and leveraging data analytics, telcos can create a seamless and personalized customer experience. This not only boosts customer satisfaction but also drives customer loyalty and positions the company as a leader in the competitive telecom industry.

Before we say bye…

To level up in 2023 and beyond, telecoms need to focus on three key steps: creating a digital twin of their FTTx network, optimizing fiber network operations through digitization, and enhancing the customer experience.

Lepton Software, a leading provider of geospatial intelligence solutions can assist you to leverage the context of location in critical decision-making. NetworkAccess, a geospatial intelligence suite have the ability to empower telecoms with a true digital twin of their fiber network. Under NetworkAccess, we offer three vital modules:

SmartInventory: To resolve the most difficult challenges related to fiber network inventory management.

SmartServiceQualification: To help telecoms assess network service feasibility in a given area for their enterprise customers. 

SmartOps: To manage network field crew and engineers by streamlining ticketing processes and tracking them in real-time.

Creating a digital twin of the FTTx network empowers telecoms to conduct detailed planning and design processes, optimizing network architecture and resource utilization. By leveraging accurate data, telecoms can make informed decisions, streamline deployment, and stay ahead in the fiber deployment race.

Digitization and the use of GIS and location data are crucial for automating operational processes and unlocking new efficiencies. Telecoms can gain a comprehensive understanding of their fiber network elements and their connections, enabling them to maximize the potential of their networks and outpace the competition.

In today’s competitive landscape, exceptional customer experience is a critical differentiator. By leveraging data analytics and personalized self-service portals, telecoms can offer tailored solutions, proactive support, and personalized offerings. This not only improves customer satisfaction but also enhances loyalty and reduces churn.

To thrive in the evolving telecom industry, telecoms must embrace these steps and seize the opportunities presented by the digital revolution. By leveraging technology, optimizing operations, and delivering outstanding customer experiences, telecoms can position themselves as leaders and drive success in 2023 and beyond.
