SiFi Networks needed an accurate cost estimation solution for their FTTH projects, particularly focusing on civil works like trenching, which accounted for a significant portion of project costs. They attempted to develop a formula for cost estimation based on city street data but found it challenging to create a standardized formula that accounted for the unique characteristics of different areas. Manual estimation of construction distances was both time-consuming and prone to errors. Consequently, they required an automated software solution to eliminate uncertainties, save time, and reduce expenses in cost estimation.
IQGeo’s Comsof Fiber software transformed SiFi Networks’ efficiency, reducing project decision times from 6-9 months to 1-3 months. The software enabled quick and accurate cost estimates, enhancing their project viability assessments. SiFi Networks was impressed by Comsof Fiber’s algorithms, flexibility, and the successful integration of their unique ring topology architecture. This deep understanding and technical competence showcased ’our ability to meet SiFi Networks’ network design and construction challenges.
In August 2022, IQGeo announced the acquisition of Comsof. Read the article in full on our news page.
