This eBook explains how advanced GIS capabilities accelerate fiber rollout and ROI by improving speed and accuracy in planning, design, build, and operations. It cites OECD data showing fiber subscriptions grew 56% from 2020–2023, with the US, Estonia, Norway, and Spain leading (page 2), and notes government investment accelerating deployments, including over $60B in US funding programs plus major commitments in India, LATAM, and the UK (page 3). Because fiber is expensive to install ($44k–$55k per mile), it argues GIS is essential for “Dig Once” planning that can cut install costs by 16–33% and reduce manual route-planning overhead by 10–40% (pages 4–5). It also highlights GIS-enabled testing and monitoring to improve reliability and cut truck rolls by 20–30% and repeat dispatches by 10%
