Using Mergin Maps for Brownfield FTTH Projects: How We Cut Survey Time by 40–60%

FTTx /

Brownfield FTTH planning is rarely straightforward. Existing records are often outdated, asset conditions vary across regions, and address registers frequently contain inaccuracies. These gaps slow down planning, increase costs, and create uncertainty for both designers and construction teams. At Geospatial Net, we tackled these challenges by implementing a fully connected workflow using QGIS and Mergin […]

Slash Costs, Not Capabilities: Why Open Source GIS is the Smart Enterprise Choice

GIS /

The GIS software landscape is shifting rapidly. For organizations managing large-scale geospatial systems—like utility companies and FTTH network providers—the demand is clear: they need flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solutions. Legacy proprietary platforms, once the standard, now pose growing challenges with their high licensing costs and limited adaptability. Open-source GIS platforms deliver a robust, enterprise-grade alternative.

Fiber Projects Fail Quietly — Here’s How to Stay in Control

FTTx /

When fiber deployment projects fail, it’s rarely because of one big, obvious mistake. More often, they unravel quietly—through a slow accumulation of small missteps that go unnoticed until it’s too late. These aren’t the kind of errors that show up in bold red on a project tracker. Instead, they’re subtle, everyday issues that slip through

GIS: The Swiss Army Knife for Telecommunications Data Management

FTTx, GIS /

Introduction to GIS Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are powerful tools for managing, analyzing, and visualizing spatial data. They help us understand our world better by using two main types of data: vector and raster. Vector data represents discrete objects like roads and boundaries with points, lines, and polygons. For example, in the telecom industry, vector
