Setics Sttar is a Design Automation Software that speeds up the design of FTTx Networks. Wrapping Setics Sttar as a transformer in FME opens the capabilities of chaining complex processing into macro tasks that can be applied repeatedly to large territories. In the context of France National Boradband Plan that aims to cover 90% of homes by 2022, leading to the increase of the number and volume of projects, using FME in combination to Setics Sttar, revealed to be a powerful combination to industrialize some aspects of the design phases. The presentation will focus on giving a concrete view of the way it is used and will target an audience of decision-makers and network designers involved in the roll-out of fiber networks.

FME

9. Benefits of using FME
with Setics Sttar
Ø Examples of use before running Sttar Engine
• Data extraction, preparation, validation
• Data enhancement and modification
Ø And after running Sttar Engine
• Data validation
• Complex output data manipulation for specific needs
• Automated generation of customized reports, maps
• Feed database
• …
Having an FME treatment chain « around » the Sttar
Engine can be highly beneficial in terms of treatment
possibilities as well as time savings

11. Usage Example
Ø Launching a project for designing
an FTTH Network on a zone
Ø Use FME to tag certain specific
sites of interest (e.g. expensive
and/or isolated)
Ø Use FME to tag all network parts
used to serve these specific sites.
Ø Automatically create a PDF
showing the results.

12. Example of Integration
