A Solution For Cell Tower Companies With Complex Networks

As a Cell Tower owner or manager, a consistent end-to-end view of your network and its assets is essential for cost-effective inventory of network elements and support of network planning, design and expansion including 5G roll-outs, WISP solutions and NEXTGEN TV.

Use CLLI Codes to distinctly identify every single location in your network. Common Language promotes consistency to standardize the way your tower ecosystem refers to locations, equipment, wireless towers, broadcast towers, in-building systems, data centers or managed rooftops using standard geographic identifiers that tell you exactly where points of interface are and what their functions are. Be visible to Telco Carriers using the codes they already use.

Use CLLI Codes to support tower site selection. Common Language Network View helps quickly identify and prioritize optimal locations for expansion.

Plan your tower network with accurate data. Common Language provides visibility into telco carriers at existing tower locations, helping optimize asset management and network utilization with CLLI Code data.

What exactly is a Common Language Location Identifier (CLLI) code?

A CLLI code is an 11-character, standardized, geographic identifier that uniquely identifies the geographic location of places and certain functional categories of equipment unique to the telecommunications industry. All valid CLLI codes are created, updated and maintained in the Central Location Online Entry System (CLONES) database.

How are CLLI codes used?

Common Language location codes (CLLI Codes) are used worldwide to identify and describe three types of locations:

Network sites:
These include such network locations as central office buildings, business and commercial offices, microwave radio structures and earth stations.

Network support sites: 
These include such locations as international boundaries or crossing points, end points, fiber nodes, cable and facility junctions, manholes, poles and repeaters.

Customers’ sites: 
These include customer locations and associated circuit terminations, facilities or equipment for each.

Why are CLLI Codes and CLONES Needed?

The combination of CLLI and CLONES enables departments within an organization to refer to the same location in the same way, without risk of ambiguity.

This is further enhanced when sharing location information between Service Providers where mistakes communicating location information can lead to expensive work around or litigation.

What is Network View?

Network View is a visual representation of TNS TruOps Common Language location information, also known as CLLI Codes, presented in a digital map format. It enables users to visualize network sites, network entity sites and service provider sites registered in the Common Language CLONES database, along with functionality of these sites.
