Plan fiber networks on one project map

Organize each build in its own project on Google Maps. Place locations and cables, draw fiber design manually, keep plant in Planned state until construction is ready, and export BOMs, splice reports, and staking sheets from the same data your field team will use later.

The problem

Why fiber planning still takes too long

Planning starts in the wrong tools

Teams sketch routes in AutoCAD or Google Earth, count materials in Excel, and rebuild contractor maps in a third tool. Every handoff adds translation errors before construction starts.

Builds are not organized by project

Greenfield expansions, overlays, and repair jobs get mixed together. Without project-based planning, it is hard to know which routes, BOM lines, and splice plans belong to which job.

Deliverables fall behind the design

When the map changes, the BOM, splice sheets, and contractor documents are rebuilt manually. Construction crews often work from stale exports while engineering has already moved on.

Area context lives outside the design map

City limits, county boundaries, parcels, and legacy KML layers sit in separate files. Engineers plan routes without the jurisdictional and property context they need on the same canvas.

How it works

From service area to construction-ready project

Project, map, design, export.

STEP 01

Create a planning project

Start a project for a build area, expansion, or repair job. Keep design plant in Planned state so future work stays separate from live operational inventory on the same map.

STEP 02

Plan plant and draw fiber on Google Maps

Add locations, cables, multiducts, and equipment with accurate coordinates. Draw fiber routes, splices, splitters, patch panels, and MUX/DEMUX on the map. Layer GIS overlays when you need city, county, or custom reference data while planning.

STEP 03

Validate and export planning deliverables

Trace light paths to catch connectivity issues before construction. Export the BOM to PDF or XLSX, generate splice and contractor outputs, and pass the same project into Construction Staking Sheets without redrawing plant.

Capabilities

What planning teams get in MapItRight

Project-based planning

Organize each build, overlay, or expansion in its own project unit with clear ownership.

Google Maps design canvas

Plan routes and plant on the same map your operations and field teams will use after buildout.

Planned design state

Keep future design separate from Active plant until you are ready to move into construction.

Fiber connectivity modeling

Design splices, splitters, patch panels, patch cords, and MUX/DEMUX with traceable end-to-end paths.

Light path validation

Find breaks and light-loss stops during planning instead of discovering them in the field.

Planning exports

BOM to PDF or XLSX, splice and contractor outputs, GeoJSON/KML backup, and Construction Staking Sheet handoff.

We tried a few tools before MapItRight. It felt easier for our team and the pricing was actually affordable.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Fiber network planning software helps telecom teams design outside plant before construction. MapItRight lets you organize work by project, place plant on Google Maps, draw fiber routes and connectivity manually, validate light paths, and export BOMs and reports from the same data model your operations team uses after buildout.
