Using Overview

Wavepoint delivers your fiber network data via a lightweight web application. Use it to locate, view, and trace features in your network, as well as inspect connectivity and network design.

One of the most helpful features of Wavepoint is the use of static URLs. When you navigate to a cable, splice, patch location, etc., that feature’s URL is static and remains the same in perpetuity. This means you can copy and paste that URL, share it with others at your company, and they are only one click away from navigating to the feature in question. This also opens up possibilities to include the URL in GIS maps, reports, work orders, and more.

TIP: While working in Wavepoint, you navigate to several URLs as a part of any job. To make your web browser open the link in a new tab, click the link with your mouse wheel (it doubles as a button). Instead of overwriting your current web page, it opens the link in a new tab. In this manner, you can quickly toggle between the web pages instead of having to navigate back and forth, which takes more time.

Before you Search, locate on the Map, or Trace fiber facilities, it is a good idea to ensure all the desired layers are visible on the map. After launching the application, click the Layers drop-down (the following image is just an example, and your layers might differ depending on your map) and ensure the proper layers are checked (visible):

If a layer you expected is not present, that means the layer was not included in the published map being used by the application. Speak to your GIS administrator to get the layer included and the map re-published.
