We claim:

1. A method for managing a network infrastructure by:
storing network infrastructure information on a storage device (114), wherein the network infrastructure information includes information of network enabling components that is provided in the form of layers, wherein each layer comprises of components information that corresponds to a class of network components, wherein the network enabling components information is mapped on the layer along with corresponding geo-tag;
superimposing the network infrastructure information layers on a geographic information system (GIS, 110) wherein the information in the GIS (110) is provided in the form of layers wherein each layer corresponds to a specific class of physical feature
enabling access to a user group, comprising one or more user, of predefined layer of plurality of layers; and
enabling a user to combine one or more layers of the predefined layer of the plurality of layers

2. The method of managing a network infrastructure, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user is functionalized with the capability of editing, modifying, viewing, combining and deleting the layers based on the permissions provided to the user.

3. The method for managing a network infrastructure, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the network infrastructure class that corresponds to a layer includes but not limited to fiber route, trench route, and splitter box location.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the area information in GIS (110) includes at least one of state boundary, city boundary, town boundary, road network, house location, forest location, wherein each class of information is provided in a different layer in the GIS (110).

5. The method for managing network infrastructure, as claimed in claim 1 wherein the user is enabled with provision of combining plurality of network infrastructure layer with plurality of area information layer.

6. The method for managing network infrastructure, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user can edit or enter information on the layers.

7. The method for managing network infrastructure, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user can enter image and GPS location of network components on the layers.

8. The method for managing network infrastructure, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the user can enter information on the layers using a handheld device (104).

9. The method for managing network infrastructure, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the GIS (110) sends notifications or alerts associated with a site to relevant user.

10. The method for managing network infrastructure, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the GIS (110) generates a progress report for the plurality of telecom sites in real-time, wherein the progress report corresponds to a document for providing progress details of the telecom project of each of the plurality of the telecom sites.
