  • Patent number: 10708151
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include an adaptive notification and ticketing system for a telecommunications network. The system includes a computing device and a plurality of network devices associated with the telecommunications network. Data is generated about a plurality of past network events associated with the plurality of network devices. The computing device is utilized to generate a model from the data. The model may be used to interpret new network events and generate an output indicative of a service impact event. The new network events are applied to the model using the computing device to generate the output indicative of a service impact event. The computing device generates a responsive action from the output indicative of a service impact event. The service impact event is a network event that disrupts a network service associated with the telecommunications network.

  • Publication number: 20150026073
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for generating customer solutions using real-time information for new customer sales and/or current customer support. In one implementation, technical infrastructure data for a provider network is retrieved from one or more databases. The technical infrastructure data represents network assets and capabilities. Location information is obtained for at least one customer site. A product selection including a set of design attributes for one or more telecommunication products is received. A network access point for providing the one or more telecommunication products is determined based on a correlation of the technical infrastructure data with the location information. A configuration for the at least one customer site is generated based on the product selection. A design is generated based on the network access point and the at least one configured customer site.
