TAPCO partners with software company 3-GIS to offer fiber network management

3-GIS's fiber optic network design and management software will provide transportation agencies with access to enhanced infrastructure management

Brown Deer, Wis. – October 7, 2025 – Traffic and Parking Control Co., LLC. (TAPCO), manufacturer, distributor and service provider of roadway safety innovations, is excited to announce our new partnership with 3-GIS, a software company providing communities with intelligent fiber network mapping and management software.

3-GIS's portfolio focuses on geographic information systems (GIS) for fiber network planning, design and management needs. Their solutions provide real-time data to inform decision-making and automation capabilities for enhanced service activation, designed to help streamline network management operations.

As transportation agencies move toward a smarter future with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), companies like 3-GIS equip transportation agencies with the tools needed to better maintain and grow their infrastructure. By allowing agencies to streamline how they deploy complex networks, 3-GIS paves the way for smarter, more efficient infrastructure management and informed decision-making.

“3-GIS is a natural addition to our portfolio because of our deep roots and field experience with fiber optic network expansion, maintenance and repairs,” said Lindsay Harvey, TAPCO’s Senior ITS Business Development Manager. “This fills a gap in our offering and enables us to partner with agencies to provide not only our field services, but software to ensure the best possible tools to keep accurate documentation and records about an agency’s network. Our evaluation of software companies found that 3-GIS is a reliable, service-oriented partner, which matches what TAPCO is all about.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with TAPCO to continue expanding the reach of 3-GIS technology into the State, Local and Education markets,” said Drew Peele, 3-GIS's Global Channel Manager. “TAPCO’s longstanding relationships and expertise in serving state and local agencies create an incredible opportunity to deliver innovative fiber network design and management solutions where they’re needed most.
