Fiber network design inside QGIS — faster, cleaner, open-source
Design FTTH, GPON and FTTx networks directly on real maps with FiberQ for QGIS, keep your data structured, and connect your workflow to the next generation of FiberQ tools now in development.
Open-source • Built for QGIS • Structured for real telecom workflows
Why FiberQ
Built for real FTTH / GPON / FTTx workflows
Design routes, place elements, generate cables and keep your project data usable beyond the map.
Works inside QGIS
Use familiar GIS tools, real basemaps and existing spatial data without moving to an expensive proprietary stack.
Structured outputs for delivery and review
Export GeoPackage, KML/KMZ and clean layers, or publish to PostGIS for collaboration and web maps.
Introducing FiberQ Designer
FiberQ Designer is a web application currently in active development, focused on the operational side of fiber network work — from map-based planning and network structure to splicing, tracing and generated documentation.
While FiberQ for QGIS remains the core design environment inside GIS, FiberQ Designer is being built as a browser-first companion: easier to access, easier to collaborate on, and better suited for day-to-day operational workflows.
Both tools are being developed to work together as part of one practical FiberQ workflow.
- Browser-first operational workflow
- Fiber splicing and tracing
- Generated diagrams and documentation
- Built to complement FiberQ for QGIS
What is FiberQ Designer?
A new web-based companion to FiberQ for QGIS, designed for the operational side of fiber network projects – with a focus on clarity, speed and collaboration.
Current direction: browser-first workflows for splicing, tracing, diagrams and structured operational visibility.
What you can do with FiberQ
- Design cable routes on real maps using QGIS tools
- Place poles, manholes, ducts, closures and cabinets
- Import existing points and lines directly into FiberQ layers
- Generate cable paths, reserves and branching logic
- Export deliverables in GeoPackage, KML/KMZ and clean map views
- Publish project data to PostGIS for team workflows and web maps
Roadmap
FiberQ is actively evolving with a focus on faster workflows, cleaner data structures and better end-to-end fiber visibility.
Data Model & Migrations Release – v1.3.0 launched on 15.07.2026.
- Introduced per-project schema versioning
- Safe automatic migration of older projects on load (lossless and idempotent, schema 0 → 1.0)
- Stable per-feature identity (
fiberq_uuid) maintained across every tool. - Verified end-to-end on QGIS 3.40 (Qt5) and QGIS 4.2 (Qt6).
- First deliverable of the NLnet NGI0-funded roadmap (WP1).
How FiberQ works
A practical workflow from project setup to deliverables — designed for real fiber planning inside QGIS.
1. Create a project
Start with a GeoPackage for local work or connect to PostGIS for team projects and web maps.
2. Draw routes and place elements
Digitize routes on real basemaps and place poles, manholes, ducts, cabinets and closures with consistent attributes.
3. Generate cables and connections
Build cable runs, reserves and branching logic to match your design and documentation needs.
4. Validate and review
Check your design in the map view and schematic outputs before exporting or publishing.
5. Export deliverables
Export layers to GeoPackage or KML/KMZ for sharing, client review and archiving.
6. Publish to PostGIS
Push results to PostGIS for collaboration, dashboards and web map pipelines.
Screenshots & deliverables
Real outputs from QGIS — clean map views, structured project layers and documentation-ready exports.
Preview Map
- Export a clean deliverable view with consistent styling.
- Keep layer names and attributes readable for review and handover.
- Ideal for QA, presentations and client-facing exports.
Project Design
- Import existing points and lines into FiberQ layers.
- Design GPON and FTTH layouts directly on the map.
- Keep data ready for PostGIS team workflows and exports.
- Produce structured outputs instead of one-off drawings.
