It's a toolset that runs in ESRI. The original design worked within ArcMap (and still does), but they also have an ArcGIS Pro solution. They utilize non-spatial tables that may be what you are looking for.</P> Wed, 09 Oct 2024 14:09:18 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-utility-network-ideas/utility-network-for-air-blown-fibre-technology/idc-p/1546989#M286 JamesRains 2024-10-09T14:09:18Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-utility-network-ideas/utility-network-for-air-blown-fibre-technology/idc-p/1547364#M287 <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Capture.JPG" style="width: 456px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/116923i9015954019EA46C4/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Capture.JPG" alt="Capture.JPG" /></span><BR /><BR />oh Cool. Are you able to share their contact? We are having a hard time finding a fiber management tool to help us manage our microduct network (these microducts are about 7/5mm in diameter each)&nbsp;</P> Wed, 09 Oct 2024 20:59:56 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-utility-network-ideas/utility-network-for-air-blown-fibre-technology/idc-p/1547364#M287 LexAdove 2024-10-09T20:59:56Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-utility-network-ideas/utility-network-for-air-blown-fibre-technology/idc-p/1547567#M288 <P>You can contact Grey Pittman<SPAN>&nbsp;</SPAN><A href="mailto:grey.pittman@geograph.tech" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">grey.pittman@geograph.tech</A>&nbsp;who is their Director of Customer Experience. He's a great guy and will be able to answer any questions you may have. I know he is at a Cable show in Vegas so he might not reply right away, or he may direct you to another Customer Experience Specialist. Their website also has a place where you can setup a call with them.&nbsp;<A href="https://geograph.tech/contact/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">https://geograph.tech/contact/</A>&nbsp;</P><P>Best of luck to you!</P> Thu, 10 Oct 2024 13:26:49 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-utility-network-ideas/utility-network-for-air-blown-fibre-technology/idc-p/1547567#M288 JamesRains 2024-10-10T13:26:49Z
