What Is OpenComms Designer?

OpenComms Designer is a GIS client-based network engineering solution that enables you to plan, engineer, construct, and maintain your fiber, coax, and hybrid fiber-coax networks. You can easily integrate new network designs performed in-house or by contractors working either connected or disconnected. This flexible working environment reduces budget and schedule risks, all while increasing overall productivity. Create intelligent models in a rich engineering and GIS environment that includes the precision of MicroStation with interactive signal calculations. OpenComms Designer completes the convergence of Bentley Fiber, Bentley Coax, Bentley Inside Plant, and Expert Designer for Communications.
