Network Assessments.

Outside Plant (OSP) Assessment:

CCI Systems engineers work with you to select specific areas of your plant that will allow for a representative sampling of current performance and overall architecture. We then apply a CCI Systems crafted methodology of maintenance “checks” to the area to determine the network’s overall health and state.

From this assessment, CCI Systems can use our 60+ years of experience to advise on improving efficiency and performance of the network/plant, identifying areas of cost reduction for yearly maintenance, describing/training on best practices, and implementing system readiness for future technologies and architectures.

CCI Systems engineers will calculate the Outside Plant (OSP) percentage by using the following during your assessment:

• Construction Practices
• Overall Age of OSP
• Plant Maintenance
• Plant Alignment (Sweep & Balance)
• Ingress
• Leakage
• Technician Knowledge Level

IP Network Assessment(s):

Gain a holistic scope of your network by examining:

• Hardware and software upgrades.
• Performance and network optimization.
• Future technology planning.
• Monitoring, provisioning, and automation.

Audit of Network Assets:

CCI Systems documents the following infrastructure elements to provide accurate network records:

• Core
• Edge
• Transport
• Access Layer

DOCSIS 3.1 Assessment:

Our DOCSIS 3.1 Assessment is similar to our OSP Assessment, with the difference being a specific focus on DOCSIS 3.1 carriers’ future performance and what level of maintenance will be needed for varying levels of performance.

Like the OSP Assessment, the DOCSIS 3.1 Assessment looks at representative “pockets” of your overall plant to give an idea of plant performance. The post-assessment presents a detailed accounting of the investment needed to bring the current network to the desired performance level.

CMTS Saturation Assessment:

CCI Systems Engineers analyze current bandwidth needs so that operators can proactively determine services, equipment needs, and budgets for up to 24 months from the assessment time. This assessment also gives customers visibility into the impact that speed package changes have on current and future bandwidth needs, thus allowing marketing and engineering to make informed decisions using common data points.

Headend (HE) Assessment:

This assessment will evaluate your current headend/hub site facilities to understand better and determine places of deficiency, opportunities for increased efficiency, or finding areas of risk within the headend that may impact performance.
