FTTx Maps open on the FTTH DEMO project: enclosures, cables and slack loops drawn over a satellite image of a neighborhood, with the drawing toolbar at the top and the project and layers panel on the left

02 · Power grid

The existing infrastructure, already on the map

In Brazil, the power grid shows up on the project map: before you draw the route, you already see what it will hang on.

FTTx Maps with the power grid layer turned on over a whole city: thousands of poles, the medium- and low-voltage lines and one pole's details open, showing utility, material, type, transformer and utility customers
FIG. 02 — A whole city, pole by pole
  • Transformers highlighted, plus each pole's type, height and load rating (daN) in its details.
  • High, medium and low voltage, across the whole country.
  • Utility customers per pole, reported alongside the network: a survey of an entire city before the first cable goes up.
  • Your own poles: enter a pole once and it shows up in every project that runs down that street.

03 · Specification

FTTx Maps is engineering software to design, document and operate FTTH fiber networks: where an ISP draws its network, calculates optical power and keeps a record of what is actually in the field.

Born in the field: it was built by an FTTx field technician and network designer after years of watching the same struggle: keeping a network documented with tools that were limited, far removed from daily work, or too expensive for a smaller ISP.

  1. Design on the map

    NAPs, splice closures, cables, poles, ducts, handholes and slack loops drawn over the city. The platform handles networks with hundreds of thousands of elements without splitting the city into files; each city or expansion becomes its own project, in the same account and kept apart.

  2. Optical calculations

    Power in dBm port by port, from the OLT PON port to the customer, with splice, connector and splitter losses. A VFL that follows the fiber through every splice, and an OTDR tool that turns a measured distance into a point on the map, slack loops included. When a fiber breaks, trace it splice by splice back to the POP and see which enclosures are cut off.

  3. Access and history

    Everyone logs in with the access you give them: admin, edit or view only. Every change records who, when and what changed, down to how many meters a point was moved.

From the map to the fiber. The documentation stays connected.

The map shows where things are; the diagram shows how they are connected.

Open an enclosure and see what is inside: fibers, splices, splitters, ports and customers connected to the right output.

  • Signal at every port, traced back to the OLT
  • Free ports on every NAP
  • Color code per cable type: ABNT, TIA-598 or your own

FTTx Assistente NAP 12 open in the app

Port 5: I measured −27.6 dBm at the customer's home. The other ports in this enclosure look fine.

The project calculation gives −21.4 dBm on that port: 6 dB of extra loss, on that port only. The most likely cause is the drop cable or the connector at the home. To confirm, measure at the output of port 5.

Report ready Port 5 of NAP 12 at −27.6 dBm at the customer's home

Questions about the platform, a project or the network?

FTTx Assistente is an AI assistant that works in the browser and in the technician app. It answers with the name of each button and takes you to the right screen. In the field, it checks the measured signal against the project calculation, points to the most likely cause and drafts the report: the issue only opens when the technician approves it.

  • Shows on screen where to click
  • The project in numbers: enclosures, cable and free ports
  • Ports and power for every enclosure
  • Only saves what you approve
  • On in every account, including the free trial

12 · Training, design and permitting

Need help designing your network?

We recommend e-Telecom, a Brazilian training and telecom engineering services company for ISPs. For your team to learn, it offers training in fiber network design from scratch, in FTTx Maps and in AutoCAD, plus online courses on installation, OTDR and pole sharing design.

If your company needs someone to run its projects, e-Telecom takes over managing your design department: drafting, documenting and following up every network project, with the power at the port and the distance to the POP noted on every NAP. It also handles permits with the local power utility in Brazil, from the pole-by-pole survey to approval, and supports your field team throughout the build.
