Have You Seen a Fiber Network Project Fail Before it Even Started?

Have You Seen a Fiber Network Project Fail Before it Even Started? Let’s Look at Planning Breakdowns

Tech News & Insight
Many fiber rollouts stumble before trenching begins, not in the field, but in flawed planning rooms. This article uncovers why approved designs collapse under real-world conditions, how disconnected inventories and outdated GIS layers set projects up for failure, and why simulation, permitting, and collaboration must start early. Learn how telecom teams can replace static spreadsheets with live intelligence—and why VC4’s Service2Create rewrites the rules of fiber network planning.
What Telecom Engineers Secretly Hate About OSS Systems

What Telecom Engineers Secretly Hate About OSS Systems

Tech News & Insight
Telecom engineers know OSS systems aren’t broken—they just pretend to work. Outdated data, broken integrations, and overwhelming alerts create false confidence and slow operations.

Why Planning Tools Alone Can’t Handle Multi-Layer Networks?

Why Planning Tools Alone Can’t Handle Multi-Layer Networks?

Tech News & Insight
Even the most polished network plans can collapse during deployment due to a hidden gap between design and reality. Traditional planning tools operate in silos and rely on outdated assumptions—like accurate GIS data or up-to-date inventory. In today’s multi-layered networks, that’s no longer enough. This article explores why static planning falls short, how real-time inventory like VC4’s Service2Create bridges the gap, and what operators need to ensure their rollouts succeed the first time.
