3-GIS Announces Integration with Auto-Design Engine from Biarri Networks

DECATUR, AL — 3-GIS, a global provider of web-based fiber network design and management solutions, announced that it has entered into an agreement with Biarri Networks, which plans and designs FTTx networks, to fully integrate 3-GIS Fiber Network Solutions with Biarri Network’s fiber network design software, FOND. The integration ensures a complete end to end solution for planning, designing, and constructing FTTx networks.

Fiber Optic Network Design (FOND) from Biarri is a solution that evaluates multiple network variables such as; existing infrastructure, material costs and regulation and generates a lowest cost fiber optic network design empowering your decisions in the rollout of fiber optic networks. FOND supports seamless integration with existing processes and systems and enables organizations to create optimized FTTx designs into the end-to-end network rollout while reducing design time by 80 percent and construction material and labor costs by 20 percent.

A Systemized Planning and Design Process
“By Integrating FOND with 3-GIS Network Solutions customers now have access to a systemized planning and design process that couples our advanced auto-design engine with powerful mapping and design tools from 3-GIS.” said Paul Kennedy, CEO, Biarri Networks “As providers strive to address consumer demand through shorter set-up time, rapid business cases, quick designs, and faster turnaround in the field the Biarri Networks and 3-GIS partnership means our customers will be deploying their network while their competitors are just getting started. A 21st century solution for their 21st century networks!”

Designed to remove the complexity of using a geospatial information system to manage the design, construction, and on-going maintenance of fiber optic networks, 3-GIS Fiber Network Solutions is the industry’s first web-based, full-editing GIS software solution for fiber optic network management. The partnership between 3-GIS and Biarri creates an unprecedented advantage for customers allowing them to scale the output from the design and deliver data seamlessly to construction while reducing overall network costs through the new optimized solution.

A Turnkey Solution for Meeting Fiber Sesign, Construction and Management Goals
“By joining the core competencies of 3-GIS and Biarri Networks, a turnkey solution now exists, for the first time, to meet today’s challenges of upgrading and building FTTx deployments worldwide.” said Michael Measels, enterprise architect, 3-GIS. “As providers continue to struggle with scaling their design initiatives and meeting demanding construction timelines, intuitive systems capable of applying varying network architectures to deliver an optimized automated design are the answer.” Measels continued, “Delivering the optimized design into an industry standard fiber management system capable of evaluating and extending the design to support field, permitting and construction activities provides our customers with a turnkey solution for meeting its fiber design, construction and management goals.”
