MapItRight vs Esri Utility Network: published pricing, fiber-native workflow
Esri's Geometric Network reached end of support in March 2026. If you're evaluating paths forward, compare MapItRight's published tiers and project-based fiber workflow against your Utility Network quote.
Why operators re-evaluate after March 2026
Esri published end-of-support for the Geometric Network in March 2026. Staying on legacy ArcMap is increasingly a security and vendor-support risk. Utility Network is the Esri-native upgrade path; MapItRight is an alternative for teams that want fiber GIS with transparent pricing and a shorter path from export to live operations.
Full fiber workflow on one map
MapItRight bundles mapping, design, inventory, field access, and exports — with published pricing at /pricing.
Fiber mapping on Google Maps
Project-based outside plant on the same map your office and field teams share — cables, locations, splices, and drops with accurate coordinates.
Strand-level inventory + light-path tracing
Telecom-native connectivity from OLT through splices and splitters to premises. Trace paths and find breaks before crews roll.
Manual fiber design
Draw routes, splices, splitters, patch panels, and MUX/DEMUX on the map. Planned state keeps future design separate from Active inventory.
Construction Staking Sheets
Generate per-route construction packets from project data. Included from ISP Essentials and up.
GIS Overlays
Import KMZ, KML, or GeoJSON reference layers for parcels, boundaries, and planning context while you design.
Mobile browser field access
Crews view the project map, attach photos and video, drop marker flags, and update plant from phones or tablets — no separate native app.
Reporting & exports
BOM and splice reports to PDF or XLSX. Export project data to GeoJSON or KML for backup, compliance, or downstream systems.
Import & migration
Import KMZ, KML, GeoJSON, and VETRO FiberMap exports today. ArcGIS geodatabase, Shapefile, DXF, and GeoPackage are on the roadmap.
ArcGIS Utility Network is Esri's forward path for utilities that standardize on ArcGIS Enterprise. It is often deployed with partner system integrators and enterprise licensing. MapItRight is a fiber-native alternative for operators who want published pricing, project-based design on Google Maps, and a workflow built for regional ISPs and engineering teams — without rebuilding a custom telecom model inside Esri.
