Portland, Maine– March 20, 2024 – VETRO, an innovator in fiber management software company announced plans for a new capability aimed at tackling outside plant engineering challenges and inefficiencies. Slated for an April release, the OSP solution promises to address key industry pain points and transform broadband delivery for residential and commercial customers.
“We are thrilled to unveil this new capability that will redefine how OSP in telecom is performed and how OSP teams interact with the rest of their organization,” said Will Mitchell, CEO of VETRO. “Our team has been working with industry leaders to develop a solution that directly addresses the evolving needs of the market. This launch marks a significant step forward in our ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional technology to network operators everywhere.”
OSP in Telecom Challenges
Outside plant (OSP) inefficiencies cause major problems for telecom providers. Construction and deployment projects often experience delays due to factors like permitting hurdles, right-of-way disputes, and inaccurate information about network assets. These delays can significantly increase the time needed to complete a project.
Furthermore, OSP problems drive up maintenance and repair costs, eating into operational expenses (OPEX). Reactive maintenance, fixing problems after they occur, is often far more expensive than proactive strategies that prevent issues in the first place. Network downtime and outages caused by OSP failures directly impact customer satisfaction, leading to complaints and potential churn. Additionally, technicians waste valuable time troubleshooting problems that stem from incomplete or inaccurate OSP records, and unnecessary truck rolls due to poor documentation further reduce efficiency.
