Fiber Mapping Solutions forInternet Service Providers
Fiber Management andDocumentation for ISPs
The internet is decentralized. There are thousands of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the United States and around the globe. Many are small to mid sized operators providing quality internet access to dedicated local markets. They are not nationally known companies, but they are often locally known, invested, and well-liked for superior service. These ISPs are quietly deploying fiber optic networks everywhere in a race to upgrade internet infrastructure.
New network deployment equals opportunity: The opportunity to design and construct efficiently and to document all network elements effectively. ISPs and the engineers who power them have always found ways to do their jobs with the tools at their disposal. VETRO FiberMap represents a new breed of mapping tool for ISPs and fiber engineers. One that brings the power of GIS into the hands of the Engineering, Sales, and Executive teams – all with the simplicity of modern web mapping.
A Sleek PlatformDesigned for ISPs
VETRO FiberMap was conceived and designed to meet the needs of ISPs. Even the smallest ISP will have the in-house resources to quickly understand VETRO FiberMap’s capabilities and functionality with its intuitively designed user interface and easy onboarding process. VETRO FiberMap operates on an open-source, cloud-based GIS mapping platform that enables ISPs to map and manage the complete network lifecycle—from assessing demand in the local market, to designing and costing the fiber build, and finally managing the network post-build—all in one platform.
Using VETRO FiberMap APIs, an ISP may integrate the platform with other services such as their Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and billing software. Delivered as a monthly subscription, the low cost of entry, instant turn up, and scaling license structure benefits ISPs of all sizes and stages of growth. Traditional fiber mapping solutions are harder to implement and to use, more isolated, and more costly. VETRO FiberMap is surpassing these outdated systems with a faster, more agile approach to fiber mapping, directly informed by ISP customer input.
Critical Featuresfor ISPs
VETRO FiberMap is a comprehensive mapping and management tool that enables ISPs to:
- Determine existing levels of broadband service
- Estimate demand within service zones for high-speed internet
- Provide cost estimates for network build-outs within the defined service zones
- Generate detailed financials (CAPEX and OPEX over ten years) for executive decision-makers
- Manage network documentation as a repository for “as-built” network data and splicing records
- Build automated, detailed network designs that present the full scale of the project
- Create graphics and visual maps to easily inform potential residential and business customers of project status
VETRO FiberMap delivers the SaaS platform solution we have been searching for to support our growing network infrastructure. It gives us the tools we need to focus on ROI and efficiency and maintain full awareness of our network assets at all times with accurate and easily accessible data.
If you are a WISP looking for a network design, mapping, and inventory solution—look no further. VETRO FiberMap is a game changer.
How we interact with our customers has changed dramatically. We’ve broken lead records month over month ever since we implemented VETRO.
The VETRO mapping system has made getting quotes to our customers and potential customers much easier. By entering their address, I know exactly what we have at the location in question. Many times I can give the prospective customer a quote right over the phone while still talking to them.
