RailTel-SI

SI-RailTel (SmartInventory) is the official field application for RailTel network engineers and survey teams. It brings fiber network planning, physical inventory capture, splicing records and fault management into a single map-driven workspace that works on site — including in low-connectivity locations. The app connects directly to the RailTel GIS platform, so what a field engineer records is immediately available to planning and NOC teams. KEY CAPABILITIES Map-based survey workspace • Interactive GIS map with satellite, terrain and hybrid views • WMS network layers with offline tile caching for low-coverage sites • Search by asset, location or landmark, plus voice search • Landbase and pole survey capture Network inventory capture • Record and edit fiber assets: cables, ducts, trenches, manholes, handholes, splice closures, splitters, FDB/ADB/BDB/CDB, ONTs, cabinets, couplers, POPs, FMS, buildings, slack and loop points • Template-driven bulk capture for repetitive field entries • Server-driven dynamic attribute forms, so new fields need no app update • Cable and area drawing directly on the map Cable blowing and depth records • Capture duct depth details and cable blowing progress against planned routes Splicing and logical view • Splice closure and splice detail records • Logical and schematic network views • ISP view with customer distribution and floor-level detail Network tracing • Connection path finder between any two points • Upstream and downstream trace with equipment information Fault and ticket management • Raise, track and close network fault tickets in the field • HPSM service-manager ticket integration • HOTO (handover / takeover) workflows Evidence capture • Geotagged photos with EXIF retention • In-app video recording for site evidence • Digital signature capture • Barcode and QR asset scanning with OCR text extraction • Meter reading capture Reporting • Export survey and inventory data to Excel and CSV • Work-order, planning-code and purpose-code summaries Built for the field • Offline-first: work continues without a network and syncs when connectivity returns • Background sync so long survey sessions are not lost • Biometric unlock and secure encrypted local storage • Device-integrity checks • Multi-language support • Single sign-on via RailTel's identity provider • Guided in-app tours for every module ACCESS SI-RailTel is an enterprise application. It requires valid RailTel SmartInventory credentials issued by RailTel. It is not usable without an authorised account. PERMISSIONS • Location (including background) — to geotag surveyed assets and record accurate field positions while a survey is running • Camera — to capture site photos, video evidence and scan asset barcodes/QR codes • Microphone — for voice search on the map • Storage — to cache offline map tiles and save exported reports • Biometric — for optional secure app unlock
