Frequently Asked Questions

To help you know more about our Fibre Pathworks software, we have compiled this set of frequently asked questions. This does not represent a complete list, but should provide answers to some of the basic questions. If this does not answer your question, please contact us for futher information.

Question & Answer

Can it be used on very big or small sites?
The software can be used on just about any size site. We have tested it on sites with over 250,000 tubes and it should easily handle sites with over 1,000,000 tubes.

Can it be applied to existing network installations?
Yes, it can. The data input facility is intuitively designed to allow for input of existing networks and for new installations. You just need to audit existing sites.

Can it tell me which contractor installed a particular fibre?
Yes, you can store and retrieve information about who does the work on the network, and test and audit results. This makes everyone involved fully accountable.

Is it easy to understand the software outputs?
Yes, the software is specifically designed to make it easy to use. The search results are displayed visually and colour coded as well as in a table of data. You can easily navigate around the software, from the route search result, to detailed information about a given pit or conduit, etc.

Intuitive Design

The software has been specifically designed to make the very complex task of managing a large network as easy as possible. Instead of long ID numbers such as C28737953, you can go into the field looking for the Red Conduit in pit number 3214.

When you perform a search, you get a visual display of what you are looking for, whether it is the details of what is in a pit or conduit, or if you have searched for the shortest route for a new conduit or an existing route.
