Expertise Across Leading Design Platforms
Design teams work across the industry’s most widely used fiber network architectures and client proprietary softwares, including Bentley OpenComms Designer, spatialNET, ArcFM, Smallworld, MicroStation, and AutoCAD. This broad technical capability allows projects to be designed in the systems clients already use—delivering efficient workflows, accurate documentation, and designs that integrate seamlessly with existing network operations.
A Structured Design Process
Successful fiber design begins with understanding each client’s goals and requirements. Preliminary designs are reviewed collaboratively to confirm specifications, scope, and deliverables before production begins. Once approved, project procedures and standards are clearly documented, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and smooth project execution from start to finish.
Designs Built for Construction and Long-Term Performance
Extensive experience in system construction and operations ensures every design considers real-world implementation. Network layouts are optimized not only for construction efficiency but also for serviceability and long-term plant maintenance—helping teams reduce delays, control costs, and deliver fiber infrastructure that performs reliably for years to come.
Comprehensive Broadband Design Services
Design Services
Engineering Broadband Networks for Real World Builds.
Design services support the full lifecycle of broadband network development—from new builds and system upgrades to expansion, ongoing operational, and BAU design. Engineers create accurate, build-ready plans that consider construction, serviceability, and long-term network performance. Each design is tailored to support both residential and commercial deployment while ensuring networks remain scalable and efficient.

Data Migration and Drafting Services
Accurate network documentation is critical to successful engineering and long-term operations. Data migration and drafting services convert existing plant maps and infrastructure records into modern engineering systems, ensuring network data remains accurate, accessible, and usable across platforms. With experience redrafting more than 100,000 miles of plant, teams support aerial, underground, coaxial, and fiber infrastructure documentation.
Services include:
- Coax and fiber as-built updates
- Fiber drafting and splicing documentation
- MDU and permit detail drawings
- Repower drafting and infrastructure updates
- Address association and map database development
- Software conversions and data migration
