GIS-Based Asset Mapping for Optical Fibre Cable Infrastructure

GIS-Based Asset Mapping for Optical Fibre Cable Infrastructure

About the Client

A leading telecom infrastructure provider responsible for planning, deploying, and maintaining optical fibre cable (OFC) networks to expand digital connectivity across urban and rural regions.

The Challenge

The client needed a reliable and accurate system to document, monitor, and manage thousands of kilometers of newly deployed optical fibre cable routes. Manual updates and lack of spatial integration made maintenance tracking and infrastructure audits difficult.

The Solution

We delivered a GIS-based asset management system tailored for optical fibre network operations.

Key components included:

  • Field surveys and GPS-based data collection for fibre cable routes
  • Mapping of trench locations, joint closures, hand holes, and access points
  • Integration of as-built cable data into a centralized GIS platform
  • Development of WebGIS dashboards for asset visualization and query
  • Enabling real-time update mechanisms for new deployments and repairs
  • Spatial analytics to support maintenance prioritization and network expansion planning

The Impact

The solution enabled the client to achieve full digital control and visibility over their optical fibre assets:

  • Improved tracking of network infrastructure across large geographies
  • Reduced downtime through faster maintenance and fault localization
  • Centralized spatial database for better audit readiness and compliance
  • Enabled informed decision-making for future network growth and upgrades
