This technical paper will outline the business rationale and specific use cases related to new MSO initiatives in fiber-to-the-home or -premise (FTTH/P), wireless, and private-public partnerships, and then dive into the technical requirements, challenges, and implementation of a 3D digital twin to accelerate and meet the end-to-end deployment needs of leading edge, connected community projects. Key learnings and best practices will be highlighted, along with performance metrics from actual projects – such as cycle time reduction, data quality improvements, and cost savings – that quantify the true benefits and impact of developing and integrating a 3D digital twin for field data automation.
