Industry challenges
The GIS bottlenecks that slow network operations and delay infrastructure decisions.
Buried assets digitized from aging as-built records with no single georeferenced source of truth.
Digitization queues build faster than in-house teams can clear them, delaying permit applications and network planning.
Infrastructure data spread across incompatible formats, coordinate systems, and platforms acquired through mergers.
Non-standard schemas and attribute gaps cause rework on every regulatory submission cycle.
4–6 month hiring cycles for GIS engineers with telecom or utility sector experience.
GIS data conversion between operator schemas during network upgrades or M&A integration creates extended data freeze periods.
What we deliver
Embedded engineers working in your platform, on your data — no field work on our side.
Primary service
Our engineers convert as-built drawings, GPR exports, survey CSVs, and legacy CAD into attributed, georeferenced utility layers through subsurface utility mapping — ready for network tracing and regulatory submission. Covers geometry, topology, coordinate alignment, and schema compliance for GIS mapping for utilities.
OUTPUT FORMATS
· File GDB / Enterprise GDB
· GeoJSON / GML / Shapefile
· DWG / DXF (AutoCAD)
· PostGIS / SpatiaLite
STANDARDS
Telecom & energy networks
GIS for telecommunications is the operational backbone of fiber optic route planning, fault response, and capacity expansion. Geospatial solutions for telecommunications require accurate spatial data on every asset — cables, ducts, towers, and substations. We build and maintain these datasets. GIS data conversion between operator schemas during platform migrations or M&A is included.
ASSET TYPES
· Fiber optic cables & routes
· Overhead & underground lines
· Substations & switchgear
· Cell towers & antenna sites
PLATFORMS
Asset management GIS
Spatial asset registers built from existing client data — as-built drawings, inspection reports, and operations records. No additional field campaign required. When assets are spatially referenced and attributed, capital replacement becomes risk-based rather than administratively driven.
SUPPORTED SYSTEMS
· Esri Utility Network
· QGIS + PostGIS
· Maximo / SAP spatial layers
· AutoCAD Civil 3D

Why GIS JOT
Our model fits one constraint: utility GIS work cannot wait for a 6-month hiring cycle.
Structured matching against your platform and sector. Productive from week one, no recruitment overhead.
Remote embedded engineers consistently cost less than equivalent hires — with no reduction in output quality.
JOT Complex Plugin for AutoCAD and Civil 3D automates digitization and attribute population — up to 50% faster on utility mapping.
Every engineer placed has verified experience in GIS for telecoms or utility networks — not generalist mapping backgrounds.
One engineer for a sprint or a multi-engineer team for a migration. The engagement scales to the work, not the other way round.
One month before any long-term commitment. Replace at no extra cost if the match is not right in skills or toolset.
Engineers familiar with multiple national schemas, coordinate systems, and regional regulatory standards.
Engineers operate under NDAs, use your access controls, and never transfer data outside your specified environment.
What we deliverThe data difference
The gap compounds across every planning decision, compliance cycle, and outage response.
| Siloed CAD / asset data | Integrated telecom GIS | |
|---|---|---|
| Network capacity tracking | ✕ Fiber splice diagrams and strand capacity stored in separate spreadsheets | ✓ Connected network topology mapping inside the GIS database |
| Permit planning | ✕ Manual overlay of municipal and utility lines; high rejection rates | ✓ Automated route compliance verification against live agency layers |
| As-built processing | ✕ Multi-month lag converting field redlines into inventory systems | ✓ Field-to-GIS data automation within 5 business days of capture |
| Outage analysis | ✕ Disconnected CRM tickets analyzed manually without tracing tools | ✓ Spatial upstream/downstream trace isolating network faults instantly |
| Market coverage logic | ✕ Revenue teams selling near-net services based on old paper files | ✓ Real-time address matching linked directly to physical port inventory |
| GIS team cost & speed | ✕ 4–6 month hire; high total employment cost | ✓ Technician placed in 1–2 weeks, 30–40% lower cost, scalable |
Common questions
Typically 1–2 weeks. We match engineers with specific GIS in telecom and utility backgrounds — familiar with your exact platform — ArcGIS, QGIS, Civil 3D, or Esri Utility Network — before integration. Full production output starts in week two.
Yes. Engineers are matched based on your specific toolset. We cover Esri Utility Network, ArcFM, Smallworld, QGIS, and PostGIS. Proprietary platforms are assessed during the matching process before any commitment is made.
Yes. Our teams have delivered MAVAT-compliant, UK NUAR-aligned, and EU INSPIRE-compliant datasets for utility and infrastructure clients across Europe and the Middle East.
We accept all standard telecom GIS data formats: Shapefile, GeoJSON, DWG/DXF, GDB, KML, LAS/LAZ, E57, and CSV with coordinates. Deliverables match your target platform and coordinate system. Legacy or proprietary source formats are assessed during scoping at no charge.
Every placement includes a one-month trial before any long-term commitment. If the match is not right in skills, toolset, or working style, we replace the engineer at no additional cost.
