Callpoint Spatial AQ Pro® - Dataset Integration

Understanding Callpoint Spatial AQ Pro® is helped by an understanding of the datasets with which it interconnects.

Fundamentally, AQ Pro integrates telco-specific spatial and non-spatial datasets.  The datasets can be grouped as:

  • Commercially available, such as address points and business lists
  • Datasets that describe your own infrastructure footprint
  • Datasets that describe your partner carriers footprint.  Access to this data (and ongoing updates) requires direct negotiation with your partners as part of your ongoing business relationship

The integration is invoked via a set of queries, functions and wizards.  The overall capability provides considerable productivity, independence and empowerment to your business operations.

Please note:

(1) AQ Pro has been designed around the PSMA's G-NAF, in fact G-NAF is a mandatory dataset.  As a Full Access PSMA VAR, Callpoint Spatial can license this dataset directly to you.  Each quarter we process the raw G-NAF tables into the structure required for high performance use by AQ Pro

(2) Telcos that require xDSL functionality need Telstra exchange data.  This data includes exchange boundaries/ exchange coordinates and optionally, Distribution Area and Large Pair Gain System boundaries.  Callpoint Spatial has had extensive experience with this data since 2001.  To ease update processes, AQ Pro uses the data in its native GIS format

(3) The Carrier GIS Assets is the repository that includes the GIS/ non-GIS data that defines network coverage, for your own network plus for each partner carrier.  Meta folders hold data that are specific to:

  • Fibre (Lit buildings, pits, splice joints, routes)
  • DSLAMs (xDSL, Mid Band Ethernet, Ethernet over Copper)
  • Wireless tower locations/ coverage polygons

Considerable flexibility is provided so that you can use partner data in its native file format.  For instance, Fibre lit buildings can be defined as Addresses (Excel), Coordinates (Excel), GIS (point features) or GIS (enclosing cadastrals)

(4) Prospect details can be in either of site addresses, coordinates or telephone numbers

(5) Bulk business datasets include the details of businesses from commercial providers.  Our experience with these datasets extends to the original DSLAM modelling project for Request DSL in 2000
