A More Efficient Way to Design New Fiber Optic Networks
Imagine Networks is an internet provider for both residential and businesses that are local to Troy, OH - a city in Miami County located at “the Cross-Roads of America”. Imagine Networks provides high-speed solution utilizing fiber optic technology due to its reliability and speed. To efficiently deliver the engineering and design associated with this technology, they explored opportunities to integrate workflows with location technology. As a small and growing business, Imagine Networks realized collaboration with GIS professionals would be beneficial.

Partner
Backed by industry-leading expertise, Millennium Geospatial utilizes data analytics and innovative software technology, such as the ArcGIS platform. Millennium Geospatial provides customized network solutions, focusing on independent companies like Imagine Networks.
Challenge
Many subdivisions are expanding and adding new developments. Witnessing the increase in residential development, Imagine Networks realized the potential in expanding their services to these new homes.
Solution
Using ArcGIS Pro, Network Analyst Extension, and ArcMap, the team at Millennium Geospatial deployed a high level centralized split network for three subdivisions.
Results
As a result, the residents of Troy now have access to a higher speed internet. Imagine Networks now has the technology and solutions to design and manage future projects.
Challenge
It seems that more people are realizing that Troy is an ideal place to settle down. This may be causing the recent "real estate boom" in the city. Many subdivisions are expanding and adding new developments. Witnessing the increase in residential development, Imagine Networks realized the potential in expanding their services to these new homes.
Building new fiber optic networks quickly can be a challenge and requires a seamless design from start to finish. To manage these workflows, it is essential to have the technology to improve and optimize how the planning, design and communications are delivered. Imagine Networks partnered with Millennium Geospatial.
Solution
Using ArcGIS Pro, Network Analyst Extension, and ArcMap, the team at Millennium Geospatial deployed a high level centralized split network for three subdivisions. This solution provided capabilities to design an accurate network, manage updates from field crews and collaborate with key stakeholders.
The Millennium Geospatial solution allowed field crews to check for any necessary changes, update the network design and finally, complete the fiber counts needed for splicing. Using maps, the team provided Imagine Networks clear communication by tracking the status and progress of the as-built designs.
Results
Imagine Networks, with the partnership of Millennium Geospatial, delivered the project quickly and efficiently using location enabled technology. Imagine Networks had a single point of communication and consultation for the entire process and was given clear data packages and maps created using ArcGIS. As a result, the residents of Troy now have access to a higher speed internet. Imagine Networks now has the technology and solutions to design and manage future projects.
