Network Quality Check & Assurance (Independent Certification)
De-risking Public & Private Broadband Investments Through Independent Technical Governance
With annual broadband demand compounding at ~30%, legacy DSL, cellular, and copper networks can no longer support modern data requirements. While state, federal, and private funding initiatives accelerate fibre rollouts globally, large-scale capital deployments carry significant delivery risks.
Novegen serves as an appointed Independent Certifier (IC) and technical quality partner across Ireland, the UK, Europe, and international markets. We implement robust technical gating points, automated desktop audits, and field-based quality checks to ensure infrastructure is built strictly to contract specifications before funding, subsidies, or milestone payments are released.
Core Technical Solutions: QA & QC Framework
Novegen deploys a unified model combining remote engineering oversight with on-site physical auditing:
1. Quality Assurance (Remote Desktop Analysis)
Comprehensive Data Inspection
Rigorous review of as-built documentation, low-level designs, optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) test traces, outside-plant (OSP) records, GIS mapping datasets, and Bills of Materials (BoM).
Back-Office Inventory Integrity
Verification that physical assets are accurately catalogued in OSS/BSS software platforms to ensure seamless ongoing asset management and operational continuity.
SLA & Turnaround Management
Real-time milestone tracking under defined contractual SLAs to keep capital build programmes moving without administrative bottlenecks.
2. Quality Check (Field-Based Physical Auditing)
Field Audits
On-site inspection of a statistical sample of the installed outside-plant network against agreed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
Physical Workmanship Verification
Hands-on assessment of fibre splicing quality, chamber cable dressing, duct sealing, pole attachments, and cabinet layouts.
Contractor Coaching
Immediate feedback loops, technical training, and remedial coaching for civil and fibre contractors to prevent recurring defects.
Live Field Reporting
Instant logging of hard fails (service-affecting issues) and soft fails (workmanship deviations) via mobile audit applications.
Novegen is currently the Independent Certifier for Ireland’s National Broadband Project, helping connect Ireland with high-speed broadband, read the case study to know more. In the past Novegen has also done similar QA/QC work for Digicel in the Caribbean region.
