3-GIS | Prospector

Turn demand into routes

3-GIS | Prospector gives teams a faster way to evaluate fiber opportunities before detailed design begins. Use GIS-based routing and cost modeling to compare build scenarios, understand feasibility, and move from demand to direction with confidence.

Fiber planning at speed

3-GIS | Prospector accelerates fiber opportunity evaluation with GIS data, cost inputs, and routing logic. As an extension of 3-GIS | Web, Prospector generates route options and budgetary cost estimates for single-site, multi-site, and large-scale planning scenarios.

Faster feasibility

Plan fiber faster

Early planning should not slow down the opportunities your team is trying to win. 3-GIS | Prospector helps sales engineering and planning teams qualify routes, estimate costs, and respond to build requests faster, without sending every opportunity through a manual planning cycle.

Know what to build next

3-GIS | Prospector translates raw demand into informed build decisions. Evaluate routes, costs, constraints, and opportunities before committing time and resources to detailed design.
Route planning
Cost estimating
Opportunity analysis
Build decisions
Compare build paths

Generate route options based on existing infrastructure, geography, cost inputs, and constraints so teams can compare viable paths earlier.

Estimate build impact

Produce budgetary cost estimates that help sales, planning, and engineering teams evaluate feasibility before detailed design begins.

Evaluate at scale

Analyze large opportunities, multi-site requests, and thousands of demand points without manually routing each location one by one.

Prioritize with confidence

Use route and cost outputs to compare opportunities, focus planning resources, and decide which builds deserve the next level of attention.

Built for real-world routing

3-GIS | Prospector evaluates routing inputs, cost factors, barriers, and opportunity data to help teams make faster planning decisions with more context.

Configurable routing inputs

Define the routing inputs used to generate practical route options, including edge-of-pavement, existing fiber routes, network records, and map-based constraints.

2 icon

 

Cost-aware routing

Factor in cost regions, barriers, and construction constraints to guide routes around higher-cost areas when better options are available.

Opportunity intelligence

Apply market, demand, and business data to surface revenue opportunities near planned routes while evaluating paths to priority demand points.

Case study

FiberLight accelerates route planning

FiberLight needed faster answers for route planning, cost estimation, and opportunity targeting. 3-GIS | Prospector gave their teams machine-prescribed routes and cost estimates in minutes, helping them move viable builds toward the next stage faster.
