Using Mergin Maps for Brownfield FTTH Planning and Documentation

FTTx, GIS and Asset Data /

Brownfield FTTH planning starts with imperfect information. Existing records may be incomplete, asset condition varies in the field, and address or route data can change between design and construction. The decision behind this topic You need GIS to make the operating decision easier-not become another silo. A technically capable platform still fails when ownership, identifiers,

Aerial vs Underground FTTx Deployment: TCO and GIS Planning

FTTx, GIS, GIS and Asset Data /

The choice between aerial and underground fibre is rarely a simple unit-rate comparison. It is a network-lifecycle decision shaped by available infrastructure, make-ready work, civils risk, permitting, resilience, maintenance access, construction capacity and the evidence available at planning stage. The decision behind this topic You need GIS to make the operating decision easier-not become another

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

Delivery and Programme 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 as the Connected Record for Telecom Data Management

FTTx, GIS, GIS and Asset Data /

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
