SunVizion is a world's first telco Network Inventory using augmented reality technology. The new software is dedicated for telecommunication operators to ease field management and repairs of infrastructure elements.
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology which provides the user with a combination of live direct view of the real world and additional information about what they currently see. After pointing device's camera at an object, one picture, of two layers, is displayed on the screen: it is still the same object, but now with additional information about it, automatically downloaded by the mobile device from the Internet.
SunVizion Network Inventory allows its users to capture, store and manage all key data about their network infrastructure, configuration, status and performance. SunVizion also helps in expanding and maintaining networks, for instance by detecting a network failure, analyzing its impact on services and subscribers and automatically initiating necessary customer care and field operations. AR interface to Network Inventory gives easier and faster access to network information practically without any user trainings.
Augmented reality has been so far used mainly for travel and leisure. Within SunVizion, we are using it to help our telco Clients to manage their Network Inventory- states Piotr Saczuk, CEO of Suntech SA. Our goal is to shorten time of access to network information, show the invisible network elements and thus produce a business effect of costs savings on expensive laptops used by field operators and trainings about sophisticated software.
With SunVizion's solution, physical infrastructure elements are now augmented by information about user's network inventory, like detailed technical information about antennas, dates of their last repairs or a list of similar objects nearby. However, the most important feature of this software is that not only presents it additional information about physical elements but also elements invisible in real world, like wires in the ground or signals sent by directional antennas.
This new solution both facilitates and speeds up the access to information about particular network infrastructure elements. It can be employed to field repair works of physical network infrastructure elements ? with just a mobile phone in a hand, the actual worker is able to easily locate all the objects they are to work on with all necessary information about them.
Thanks to software's simple interface, it is easy to learn for a wide range of potential users: maintenance workers, IT specialist or business managers.
