This thesis covers database creation, system design and application development for
wire line telecom infrastructure within Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and
concentrates on spatial decision support applications and serving wire line subscriber
coordinates for emergency calls in Ankara. The main mission of the
Telecommunication in the past was to serve for voice communication activities.
Currently voice, internet, data and video communications are available. These new
services need better bandwidth capacity and/or renewal of infrastructure with Fiber
Optical cables. Telecom has a complex wire line infrastructure, both in physical and
logical topology. It is important to manage this complex infrastructure to give better
services with new installation and update activities. Due to these requirements
Telecom infrastructure needs to be managed with GIS, which visually provide
physical and logical relationships.
In this study it&rsquo / s aimed to build a GIS system for Turk Telekom (TT) including
digitization of wire line cable infrastructure, geocoding subscribers and serving the
coordinates of subscribers. The data layers are stored in Oracle Spatial Data Option
(SDO) and spatial data information is kept in MapInfo MapCatalog. The data
schemes for 81 provinces are created. The applications are developed with Borland
Delphi version 7 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 .NET Framework. There are
several GIS applications developed so far for the infrastructure of TT, since TT needs to know the location and quality of the infrastructure already present in the field and
needs spatially to decide on areas that need maintenance including improvement,
replacement, and new installations to improve the service. This study is presented as
an alternative spatial decision support system for the improvement of the current
infrastructure and services given to the customers, by using digitized network and
geocoded subscriber data that is stored in GIS system. This study is carried out with
customer participation and on site development with Telecom staff.
