New features and enhancements in this release
Connectbase introduced the following new features, enhancements and bug fixes in this release.
API Enhancements
We've updated our system to support a change made by Spectrum to their GIS API. This update enhances how we determine service availability by incorporating a new value in the servicesAvailable field. As a result, we can now more accurately qualify addresses for symmetrical speed offerings (same upload and download speeds).
This improvement ensures better alignment with Spectrum’s latest capabilities and provides more precise service qualification results.

Connectbase introduced the following new features, enhancements and bug fixes in this release.
TCW Enhancements
Users can now upload locations in countries without postal code systems across My Locations and Supplier Manager. The platform now automatically adapts to each country's address standards. If a country doesn’t use postal codes, you can leave that field blank. If postal codes are required, we’ll still enforce them to ensure data accuracy.

The AT&T Wireline API did not include certain Dedicated Internet (MIS) Ethernet speed tiers. We have added the missing Ethernet 2G and 5G MIS (Dedicated Internet) speeds. This update ensures that the AT&T Wireline API provides accurate service qualification results with all available speed options for Dedicated Internet.

TCW-949 | Resolved an issue where Latitude and Longitude values in exported Market Explorer tenant data were rounded to 2 decimal places instead of reflecting full precision. Exports will now correctly display the actual Lat/Lon data with 6 decimal points. |
QTO-294 | Fixed an issue where CPQ components set as "Automatic" were not applied to quotes despite meeting criteria (e.g. Supplier, Broadband, specific speeds). Updated logic ensures components now auto-apply correctly when valid and not expired. |

Replacing all references from Connected2Fiber to Connectbase.
Removing support email and redirect users to the Connectbase Customer Support Desk to create/view tickets.
Eliminating reference to the distribution list owner (since the owner is not currently editable and may be outdated).
Updating the company website in the signature from http to https.
The updated email template is now consistent across all building list distribution emails, providing improved clarity for both internal and external contacts.
API Enhancements
AT&T HSIA API was not returning results in certain cases due to optional unitValue field being left blank in API requests. This update will ensure that we pass secondary values to this unitValue field to get positive results.
Refactored Zayo API to use the NNI service. Added “Nearest NNI” function that will find the nearest available NNI when no Z-end address is present.
The AT&T Wholesale Service Qualification (WSQ) API currently does not include several Dedicated Internet (DIA) speed tiers. We are adding the missing speeds: 30 Mbps, 40 Mbps, 60 Mbps, 70 Mbps, 80 Mbps, 90 Mbps, 700 Mbps, 800 Mbps, and 900 Mbps. This update will ensure that the WSQ API provides accurate service qualification results with all available speed options for Dedicated Internet.
Issues resolved in this release
Connectbase resolved the following issues in this release.
Internal Ref # | Issue/resolution |
|---|---|
TCW-546 | Fixed an issue where addresses with special characters were incorrectly encoded when added to My Locations. The system now properly encodes addresses in UTF-8 encoding, ensuring accurate data representation across My Locations manual inserts and bulk uploads, Location search box on the map for search, dropdown menu, and map pop-ups display. |
API Enhancements
We are pleased to announce that Italian carrier, Fastweb Wholesale are now available for Connections on The Connected World platform.
The following Fastweb Products are enabled:
E2C - Point to Point (E2C), mapped to Ethernet - Dedicated in The Connected World, via the Fiber Access Medium.
Internet2Connect (I2C), mapped to Dedicated Internet and Broadband in The Connected World, via the Copper and Fiber Access Media.
The API is a Serviceability Only API, meaning that a rate-card is needed from the supplier to ensure full quoting functionality is available.
The API provides coverage in Italy only.
The Eurofiber France WAZA API has been modified to support multiple Pricing Tier Zones in the API response.
API response processing will now take in consideration zones E0, E1, E2, E3 returned by the API, and map these values to the appropriate Rate Card pricing records.
The Shaw API ELine product (Ethernet - Switched or Ethernet - Dedicated) requires both an A-End and Z-End Address to successfully quote. Previously, this could only be quoted when both addresses had been entered via the P2P toggle option in CPQ quoting.
Following this enhancement, The Connected World will attempt to retrieve the nearest NNI addresses configured for Shaw to use where two addresses have not been provided.
Note that to work, this requires NNI's to be correctly configured in The Connected World.
Issues resolved in this release
Connectbase resolved the following issues in this release.
Internal Ref # | Issue/resolution |
|---|---|
QTO-1140 | We have fixed the issue to prevent duplicate P2P pricing from being returned in the P2P quote when sub-quote pricing is enabled. Previously, individual location pricing was incorrectly included alongside P2P pricing in the P2P quote when sub-quote pricing was returned, leading to duplicate pricing in both the seller’s (P2P config setup) and buyer’s (P2P config setup as well as connected to seller’s instance) environments. This fix ensures accurate pricing by eliminating the unintended accumulation of individual location and P2P pricing in quotes. |
