> Segmented design based on cut sheets and project location> Lack of ability to collaborate across single design for entire
market> Inability to provide effortless visibility for project management> Difficult to broadcast wholesale changes in design due to
changing requirements

Project Details
900+ Service points in large market metro100+ unique municipalities
Requirements: > Timeline: <8 Weeks time> SOW: Route to all service points within the constraints of the
network architecture while utilizing existing infrastructure where practical. Validate the proposed route
> Deliverable: GDB, KML, Bill of Materials, Deployment Cost estimate
