The fiber-optic network is expanding rapidly, requiring swift execution. However, this speed must not compromise the careful inspection and registration of the new infrastructure. For future management, knowing the exact location of the cables is essential. That’s where Allinq In Control provides an effective and user-friendly solution.
Working on the massive deployment of fiber means significantly scaling up labor capacity. Companies need to quickly mobilize a large number of subcontractors and resources to execute all that trench-digging work. And once the digging is done, the work isn’t over yet—there’s still the need to inspect quality standards, verify correct depth, and ensure compliance with all safety regulations. This creates a significant workload for contractors, subcontractors, and project managers.
Finding skilled personnel for quality assurance at speed can be challenging, making internal quality control more difficult. How can you ensure subcontractors consistently deliver the right quality? With In Control, subcontractors can easily and quickly film and validate their work themselves. For example, they can record the digging depth. Everything is digitized and standardized, reducing the need for physical inspections. This saves time and ensures consistent quality control.
“A smoother process without compromising on quality or safety.”
In Control also supports land surveyors in a similar way. In the Netherlands, a land surveyor must measure the infrastructure in an open trench before it is closed. With so much work to do, it’s impossible for the surveyor to be everywhere at once. In Control shifts part of the responsibility to subcontractors. This reduces the need for surveyors or planners to be physically present everywhere, easing their workload and ensuring smoother operations—again, without compromising on quality or safety.
Thanks to years of experience as a contractor, we understand how important ease of use is. That’s why this solution is fast, simple, and easy to use without language barriers. No separate GPS system is required, and with our in-house developed algorithm, the location is accurate to the centimeter.
For field teams, In Control is intuitive to operate. For precise depth measurements, specific hardware is all that’s needed. Teams can work with an iPad Pro or an iPhone equipped with LIDAR technology. From there, it’s straightforward: they dig, film the work, and upload the data to the platform.
The system can integrate with Cocon Fiber, the registration standard for networks. This allows collected data, such as videos and 3D point clouds, to be incorporated. As a result, not just 2D but also 3D representations of the underground infrastructure are available.
Once the fiber rollout is complete, the focus shifts to connecting homes. A challenge here is that not everyone will want a connection immediately, leading to the familiar sight of coiled cables left at the curb. If that cable is only connected after three years, it can be difficult to pinpoint its exact location. Without precise registration, this becomes a daunting task. With In Control, exact location data is captured, making it much easier to find and connect the cable later on.
In Control ensures efficiency during both the installation and maintenance of telecom networks. By integrating cutting-edge technology, it facilitates a smoother process, reduces workload, and guarantees high-quality results for all stakeholders.
