Bentley Fiber is a comprehensive product for designing, documenting, and maintaining outside plant fiber networks. It accommodates all the requisite fiber architectures, including FTTx, in a geospatial environment that provides for detailed engineering calculations performed interactively during the design process. Bentley Fiber includes capabilities for GIS land base development, strand mapping, and duct management to complete the geospatial engineering environment. Both Oracle Spatial persistence and relational database persistence are supported by Bentley Comms.
Main Features:
- DGNP (relational database)
- Spatial short transaction - temporary workspaces created by Bentley Map for each session, all modifications posted to the live workspace at the end of the session or the data is lost
- Spatial long transaction - workspaces created by Bentley Expert Designer for Communications can be stored for prolonged periods of time until they are merged to the live workspace at the end of the project
- Intelligent network model
- Color-coded cross-sections based on buffer tube or ribbon fiber
- Automatic routing function traces strand for quick operator input
Connectivity maintenance during creation and edit
