Patent number: 12328410Abstract: Automatic testing/analysis of local loops of telecommunications networks includes obtaining bits-per-tone data for a local loop of a telecommunications network and generating a bit value string from the bits-per-tone data. The bit value string is then analyzed to determine whether it includes a bit pattern indicative of an impairment of the local loop. Further approaches for automatically testing local loops of telecommunications networks include obtaining attenuation data for multiple tones carried by the local loop and determining whether the attenuation data falls below thresholds for providing a service using the local loop.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2024Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: Level 3 Communications, LLCInventors: Thomas C. Woldahl, Erik V. Helrich, Michael J. Durkin, Larry J. North, Abid Khan

Publication number: 20250124030Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to moving data between cloud-based platforms and on premise databases. A method may include providing a software platform to receive user requests for moving data from cloud platforms to on premise databases; receiving, via the software platform, a user request to move first data from a first cloud platform to a first on premise database accessible to the software platform; executing, based on the user request, using the software platform, a query for the first data; and retrieving, based on executing the query, using the software platform, the first data.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2024Publication date: April 17, 2025Applicant: CenturyLink Intellectual Property LLCInventors: Thomas C. WOLDAHL, Abid KHAN, Maia FRIESER, Thomas JAY

Publication number: 20230134035Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems and methods for identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing repair, maintenance and system change opportunities within a telecommunications network. This disclosure describes doing so by obtaining churn, repair, and outage data and processing the obtained data using various models and algorithms to provide meaningful insights into the business impact of undertaking some action, which may include proactive maintenance, repair, and/or some form of system change (e.g., upgrade). In the cases of maintenance and repair, the system may further identify a particular issue and the resolution. The system may also provide information as to costs and return for various actions, which may assist the operator in taking actions that will provide optimal customer satisfaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Thomas C.
