Fiber Pre-Engineering Toolkit (South, 2H 2025)

The Fiber Pre-Engineering Toolkit offers a suite of capabilities for estimating fiber deployment costs based on road distances.  It also allows the user to select and export total road distances and costs (spreadsheet) and GIS road segments to be used as inputs by a fiber design team.  A user can export all roads within an area or specific road segments. The Toolkit seeks to bridge the divide between strategic planning and implementation, compressing the timeframe between identifying a business opportunity and initiating a high-probability-of-success engineering design effort. The Fiber Pre-Engineering Toolkit can be used in combination with the Fiber Strategy Toolkit (for a detailed analysis of existing fiber networks) and/or the National Hex Toolkit (for an analysis of all broadband networks: fiber, cable, DSL, and licensed fixed wireless, including demographic and other layers).  Those who do not need road segment level data might consider the Fiber Strategy Toolkit Pro, in place of
