Stevenage, Herts, UK– Digital mapping and GIS software developer Cadcorp has announced that fibre optics firm H2O Networks, part of the i3 Group, has selected Cadcorp SIS – Spatial Information System software to help it plan and map the national roll-out of its fibre optic communications network which utilises the sewer system.
Cadcorp has supplied and assisted in the implementation of a number of licenses of SIS Map Editor to provide advanced GIS functionality, including CAD-like geometry construction and editing, topology and links to relational database management systems.
By using the 360,000 miles of the UK’s waste water system to deploy its fibre optic networks, H2O Networks significantly reduces the cost and impact on the environment and traffic flows as it avoids the need to dig up roads and other infrastructure for installation.
