Network Operations  /  Infrastructure intelligence

Native network depth. Not integration glue.

Multi-vendor OLT management. NOC map with live device status. Signal levels inside the customer ticket. OTDR overlays for repair validation. The agent never leaves the ERP to see whether the ONU is healthy.

The problem

"Integrated" usually means a button that opens another tab.

Most ISP platforms claim "integrated network monitoring." What they mean is: a button that opens the OLT vendor's own console in a new browser tab. The agent leaves the ERP, navigates the vendor UI, copies the relevant data back as a screenshot, pastes it into the ticket. That is not integration. That is two systems pretending to talk to each other through the human in the middle.

Real depth means signal levels live inside the customer record, the ticket, the dispatch packet. The NOC engineer doesn't open a vendor UI; they open the customer's contract and see the ONU's last 24 hours of receive power, the OLT port status, the recent reboot history. The ERP is the network monitoring tool, not a launcher for it.

Capabilities

Active network management.

Nineteen layers of operational network depth. Each shipped because a NOC engineer needed it, not because a roadmap deck listed it.

01
Multi-vendor OLT control
VSOL, NETIS, Huawei, ZTE roadmap

Vendor-agnostic OLT abstraction layer. Provision ONUs, query signal, manage firmware, control PON ports across vendors from one interface. Per-vendor drivers handle the protocol differences; your team sees one consistent UI.

  • VSOL and NETIS shipping today via dedicated drivers
  • Huawei and ZTE on the roadmap (driver-pluggable architecture)
  • Provisioning, signal queries, firmware management, PON port control
  • If an OLT has a management interface (CLI, API, SNMP, NETCONF), it can be added as a new driver
02
Live optical signal in tickets
Last 24h trend on every contract

The customer's ONU signal levels live inside the contract record. Open a ticket, see the last 24 hours of receive power, recent reboot history, OLT port state. Marginal-but-within-spec signal trends get flagged before they degrade to outage.

  • Signal history graph in the contract view
  • Marginal-trend flagging before customer-impacting failure
  • Linked to NOC dispatch packets automatically
03
Fibre-cluster outage detection
Two or more drops on same port = single incident

Aelita recognises when two or more customers in the same neighbourhood drop offline within a short window as a single infrastructure event, not a handful of unrelated tickets. The NOC dispatches a cable team once, with all affected contracts attached to a single incident note.

  • Automatic clustering of related wire-down events on the same port
  • Two-or-more threshold; single-customer drops stay out of the noise
  • One incident note for the whole cluster
04
OTDR file import & trace overlay
Repair validation against baseline

Upload an OTDR trace file; the system parses it, locates the fault, and overlays it on the GIS map. Compare against the baseline trace to verify a repair actually fixed the issue. Trace-event history per cable section.

  • OTDR file parser (multi-vendor format support)
  • Fault localisation against the GIS topology
  • Repair validation: pre-repair trace vs post-repair trace
05
IPACCT NAS — driven from the contract
Contract-driven provisioning · VLANs · live usage

IPACCT is the NAS we integrate with most deeply — a robust, Bulgarian-built subscriber-management platform — and ISPCQ drives it straight from the customer's contract. Activate a contract and ISPCQ creates the IPACCT subscriber and provisions its S-VLAN/C-VLAN over IPACCT's IFMGR API; change a plan and the new IPACCT service package follows automatically. The same contract the support agent is reading is the single source of truth for the account on the NAS — no second screen, no re-keying, no drift between billing and the network. Read the NAS deep-dive →

  • Contract-driven provisioning over IPACCT's SOAP / IFMGR API — subscriber account, S-VLAN/C-VLAN, and bridge config created when the contract goes live
  • Plan changes push the IPACCT service package to the NAS automatically; bandwidth is enforced at the access layer
  • Account lifecycle from the contract — create, modify, set the paid-through date, stop and start — with IPACCT enforcing the subscription window ISPCQ maintains
  • IPACCT's tolerance grace — a just-overdue customer stays connected through a configurable grace window instead of a hard cut-off; ISPCQ shows the warning → tolerance → expired state with a day countdown on the contract, and staff can grant a +1 / +3 / +7-day extension in one click
  • Live IPACCT usage right in the contract view — real-time in/out bandwidth and daily, weekly and monthly traffic graphs, plus ping / ARP-ping / MAC-table diagnostics
  • RADIUS / MikroTik NAS on the roadmap via a unified NAS layer — IPACCT remains the deep, production integration today
06
Environmental + SNMP monitoring
Temperature, humidity, water level, gas & vibration

Environmental monitoring at cabinets, manholes, and sites — temperature, humidity, water level, gas detection (methane, H2S), and vibration — with configurable thresholds and Telegram NOC alerts. SNMP integration with Observium / LibreNMS for device discovery and broader infrastructure visibility. Topology auto-sync into the GIS.

  • Sensor coverage at cabinets, manholes, and sites — not cabinets alone
  • Tracks temperature, humidity, water level, gas (methane/H2S), and vibration
  • SNMP discovery via Observium / LibreNMS
  • Telegram NOC channel integration
07
Config integrity across the ONU lifecycle
Illegal-ONU enforcement · dedicated-SVLAN preservation

What you sold the customer is what they still have nine months later. The Illegal ONUs page surfaces ONUs registered on an OLT that don't map to an active billing record, filterable by OLT and slot/port so the NOC can triage them before they reach the billing path. The dedicated SVLAN provisioned at contract activation survives ONU replace, return, and re-issue cycles — no manual reprovisioning, no "we lost your VLAN during the swap." IPACCT gating prevents the long-tail drift where a service is technically active on the OLT but no billing record carries it.

  • Illegal ONUs view with OLT + slot/port filters for fast triage
  • Dedicated SVLAN preserved through replace / return / re-issue
  • IPACCT gating: no active sessions on non-billing records
  • Lifecycle events visible against the customer's contract history
08
Live per-IP traffic monitoring
sFlow · peering vs local breakdown

See exactly what a single customer is doing on the wire, right now. A live sFlow feed sits inside the customer record: real-time bandwidth, top talkers, and a breakdown of how much of their traffic stays local versus crossing a paid peering or transit border. When a customer calls about a slow line, the agent reads the live graph instead of guessing.

  • Real-time per-IP bandwidth, second-by-second on the contract page
  • Group traffic by tier (local vs peering/transit) or by individual peer
  • Spot heavy talkers and abnormal flows without leaving the ticket
09
OLT-port capacity monitoring
Utilisation thresholds · early warning

Know which PON ports are filling up before a sales order lands on one that can't take it. The capacity view tracks utilisation across every OLT port and raises a warning, then a danger, alert as configurable thresholds are crossed. Planning teams provision ahead of demand instead of reacting to a congested port and angry customers.

  • Per-port utilisation with configurable warning and danger thresholds
  • Capacity alerts feed the same NOC alert history as signal and environmental events
  • Plan port and splitter expansion before saturation, not after
10
Conduit & duct management
Fill rates · sub-ducts · cross-section view

The physical ducts that carry your fibre are tracked as first-class infrastructure, not a spreadsheet. Each route breaks into segments with diameter, material, depth, and capacity; nested sub-ducts and the cables routed through them are recorded with live fill rates. A cross-section diagram shows exactly what's inside a duct, with colour-coded congestion warnings — so you know whether the next cable will actually fit before you dig.

  • Duct dashboard with fill rates and routes-with-space KPIs
  • Segment-by-segment detail: start/end manholes, material, depth, capacity
  • Nested sub-ducts and a colour-coded cross-section view of every conduit
11
Network topology & switching scheme
Auto-discovered graph · per-site connection diagram

An interactive, zoomable graph of how every device connects to every other device — auto-discovered from the network management system and kept current by a background sync. Pick any site, cabinet, or room and the switching scheme draws the port-level and cable-level connections at that location. Save and share scheme views so the next engineer inherits documentation that's actually accurate.

  • Auto-discovered topology graph with NMS-linked device counts
  • Switching scheme: port- and cable-level diagram for any chosen location
  • Save personal or shared views; periodic background discovery keeps it fresh
12
Build projects & wayleave tracking
Permits · bill of materials · KMZ export

Every rollout phase is a project: code, type, status, contractor, budget, and the infrastructure assigned to it in one place. Wayleave permits are tracked end to end — reference number, municipality, authority, submission and approval dates, conditions, and the approval letters attached. Auto-generate a bill of materials from the assigned infrastructure, and export the whole project to KMZ for Google Earth or a contractor's survey.

  • Project dashboard with planning, in-progress, and completed KPIs
  • Full wayleave permit tracking with documents and expiry dates
  • Auto-generated bill of materials and one-click KMZ export
13
Outage-aware operations
Auto-graded incidents · aware-message on inbound calls

When fibre drops, the platform runs the incident end to end. Aelita scans every 20 minutes and files incidents graded Critical, High or Medium by how many customers are affected. Known customers who phone in during an active outage or a planned-maintenance window hear an “we’re aware and working on it” message before they reach an agent. On recovery, a RESTORED alert goes out with total downtime and every related incident note closes automatically.

  • 20-minute scans file incidents graded Critical / High / Medium by affected-customer count
  • Inbound callers in an active outage or maintenance window hear an “aware and working on it” message first
  • RESTORED alert reports total downtime and auto-closes every related incident note
14
Remote CPE provisioning (TR-069 / ACS)
Router-mode ONUs · no truck roll

Router-mode ONUs are handed to a tenant-configurable TR-069 ACS, so customer-premises equipment is configured and managed remotely instead of by a truck roll.

15
Cable-fault workflow
Reported → Under Investigation → Dispatched → Repair Scheduled → Resolved · auto impact list

Declare a cable fault and drive it through a clear status pipeline instead of a freeform note. A fault moves from Reported to Under Investigation to Dispatched to Repair Scheduled to Resolved, you assign the technician who handles it, and the system attaches an automatic impact list of exactly which customers sit behind the break — so the team knows who to call and what to expect on site before anyone leaves the depot.

  • Status pipeline: Reported → Under Investigation → Dispatched → Repair Scheduled → Resolved, with the technician assigned to the job
  • Automatic impact list of affected customers attached to every fault
  • OTDR before/after measurements link straight to the fault for repair validation
16
Service paths & impact analysis
OLT-to-ONU path · loss budget · what-goes-dark

Build the full route from the OLT port to the customer's ONU — cables, cores, splitters, splice points, and ODF patches — and the path carries a calculated loss budget you can validate for continuity and compare against actual OTDR measurements. Then ask the question that matters before a failure happens: pick any cable, splitter, or piece of equipment and see exactly which customers and downstream devices would go dark if it fails.

  • Path builder assembles the OLT-to-ONU route segment by segment and validates continuity
  • Calculated loss budget per path, compared against real OTDR readings to find problems
  • Impact analysis: select a cable or splitter to see who goes dark — before it does
17
Infrastructure browser
Site → Floor → Room → Cabinet · rack diagrams

Drill down through the physical estate — Site to Floor to Room to Cabinet — with a visual rack diagram showing equipment in its slots and patch cables drawn between ports. A port dashboard tracks utilisation and free capacity across the OLTs, and clicking any device opens its full port list with the connected core, the assigned customer, and live ONU data. The whole physical network is navigable down to the individual port.

  • Hierarchical drill-down: Site, Floor, Room, Cabinet, with breadcrumb navigation
  • Visual rack diagrams and a port dashboard for utilisation and spare capacity
  • Per-port detail down to the individual port — connected core, customer, and live signal
18
Automated route suggestions
Optimal path by distance & utilisation · up to 3 candidates

Planning a new conduit build starts with a question: what's the best path between these two manholes? Pick a start and end manhole from a search dropdown and the system proposes the optimal route, weighing distance against how full the existing conduit already is along the way. Compare up to three candidate routes side by side before a crew ever picks up a shovel.

  • Select start and end manholes via a search dropdown
  • Candidate routes ranked by distance and conduit utilisation
  • Up to three candidate routes compared side by side
19
Splice management
Splice-loss record-keeping at manholes and enclosures

Every splice where fibre cores are joined — at a manhole or a splice enclosure — gets its own record: the two cables and cores connected, plus the measured splice loss. The splice dashboard gives drill-down to any individual splice, so when a joint starts degrading, the maintenance history is a lookup, not a guess.

  • Splice record for every joined core pair, with measured splice loss
  • Splice dashboard with drill-down to individual splice detail
  • Splice records at both manholes and splice enclosures
Real-life scenario

Catching a failing splice before 200 customers call.

The signal. The cluster-detect engine flags four customers on the same OLT PON port whose ONU receive power has degraded by 4 dBm over the past 48 hours. Each individually is still within spec; together, they are a pattern.

The investigation. The NOC engineer opens the GIS map, traces the fibre path from the four customers back through the splitter to the OLT, and notices that the signal degradation correlates with a splice point that was last maintained 14 months ago. She pulls the most recent OTDR baseline for that section and confirms the fault location: a splice closure approximately 1.2km from the OLT.

The result. A maintenance task is created with the exact GPS coordinates and OTDR baseline data attached. The field team is dispatched preventatively, before the splice fully fails. Two days later, the splice closure is re-spliced and the OTDR re-baselined. Two hundred customers downstream of that splitter never lost service. Without the cluster-detect, the first time anyone would have known about it was a wave of "no internet" calls on a Sunday afternoon.
