Challenges
- Field engineers struggle to find installed devices that are underground or hidden behind trees or other installations.
- A company in the UK wanted to identify the location of installed network assets and easily review the history of installations and fixes.
- No prepared solution was available.
Xpertnest’s Solutions
- Xpertnest created an AR solution that allowed engineers to open a function or app and, using the location, augment the network onto the screen. The app overlaid and labelled infrastructure on the screen.
- The solution displayed associated routing detail for each node, such as serving Splitter IDs and spare CBT ports, and highlighted nodes on their route.
- The engineer could flip to OS maps to see a birds-eye view of the network with details available on tap.
Value Delivered
- Enabled engineers to identify the correct routes.
- Improved engineering efficiency by displaying all installed devices as a birds-eye view with the ability to switch to an augmented reality view when the field engineer is on site.
