QField for Fibre to the Home

Plan, construct, and document FTTH networks with geospatial accuracy.

Who this is for

Network planners, construction crews, and QA teams delivering last-mile fibre. Keep planning, build, and as-built documentation aligned across office and field.

What you can do

  • Plan and stake out trench routes, cabinets, splitters, and drops
  • Collect as-built geometries with attributes and photo evidence
  • Validate constraints (IDs, port counts, splice rules) with smart forms
  • Work offline on site; sync changes and comments when back online
  • Export clean deliverables for GIS/asset systems

Workflow

  1. Plan in QGIS: layers for ducts, cables, chambers, OLT/ONT, rules and styles
  2. Build with QField: capture as-built lines/points, attach photos and notes
  3. QA & Handover: review in QFieldCloud, resolve conflicts, export to PostGIS/GeoPackage

Common Challenges

  • Paper redlines slow construction handover
  • GPS drift and inconsistent measurements
  • Fragmented photos and evidence trails

Why Teams Choose QField

  • Deployed by utilities and network contractors
  • Smooth handover from field to GIS/asset registers

Frequently Asked

Can we capture photos and tie them to features?

Yes. Attach photos to features; metadata and geometry stay linked.

Can we export into our asset system?

Yes. Use GeoPackage/GeoJSON or pipelines to PostGIS; QFieldCloud automates sync.
