Abstract

Against the backdrop of the expanding global market for fiber-optic systems, fueled by the rollout of 5G networks, the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, and the construction of hyperscale data centers, traditional practices of compliance management in projects exhibit systemic inadequacy. The cost of design and installation errors, reaching 14% of the contract value, combined with cascading delays and budget overruns, creates demand for qualitatively different control mechanisms. This work substantiates a conceptual model for end-to-end, automated compliance assurance at all stages of the lifecycle of fiber-optic communication lines (FOCL). The core of the approach is a formalized machine-readable Fiber-Optic Line Lifecycle Compliance Matrix (FOL-CM), functioning as a single source of truth for the aggregate of regulatory and technical requirements. The architecture is described as integrating natural language processing (NLP) technologies for digitizing norms, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for verification procedures, and BIM modeling. The proposed model shifts verification from reactive, manual control to a proactive compliance-by-design paradigm, which makes it possible to significantly reduce costs, increase accuracy, and accelerate project execution.
