Utilizing the ArcGIS Platform for Shared Public Agency Fiber Networks
Track: Telecommunications
Authors: Andrew King-Scribbins

Hennepin County, MN is currently faced with the challenge of supporting the county’s need for a high-quality fiber network. Community Connectivity, a new county division, identified ways to share costs and capabilities across many government agencies. The solution leverages GIS processes and untapped ArcGIS capabilities, headlined by CresentLink, an Esri Partner extension, which plans, designs, and manages fiber networks. This solution is showing financial benefits and improved collaboration.
