Key Challenges
Do these challenges sound familiar?
Lack of data integrity
Inconsistent or incomplete network data can cause expensive errors and unnecessary delays.
Complex network structures
Difficult to maintain oversight of parent/child hierarchies and network connections.
Inefficient workflows
Manual processes without guidance increase the risk of errors.
Lack of visual clarity
No dynamic insight into your network from different perspectives.
On-site challenges
Field technicians do not always have access to up-to-date network information.
Lifecycle management
No integrated solution that supports planning, execution, and follow-up.
Our purpose
MarlinDT is a comprehensive platform designed for telecom network operators to intelligently manage both PNI (Physical Network Inventory) and LNI (Logical Network Inventory), with a strong focus on data integrity throughout the entire lifecycle. Our goal is clear: to support Design, Engineering, and Operations with a single, unified geospatial platform.
Full lifecycle support
Manage routes, structures, and buildings from planning to post-project follow-up with complete data integrity.
Advanced database concepts: association
Manage parent/child hierarchies and connect nodes for a flawless network topology.
Dynamic visualizations – butterfly view
Insight into network splits: cross-sections, splice connections, and the complete light path.
Guided flows for data integrity
Prevent errors with structured workflows. Key flows include: Create Route, Duct Trace, and OTDR Trace.
Flexible customization – catalog items
Standardize your network elements with templates: Customize MarlinDT to fit your specific needs.
Marlin Web – field application
Up-to-date network information in the field, supporting follow-up and maintenance with real-time updates.
