FNT GeoMaps

FNT GeoMaps is the map-based part of FNT Command, a platform from FNT Software in Germany for documenting and planning network and cable infrastructure. GeoMaps takes the physical, logical, and virtual network data held in FNT's central repository and shows it on Esri ArcGIS maps. Users can plan outside plant georeferenced, from rough route design through to detail. They can also manage sites and their connection details, view capacity, and trace end-to-end signal paths across the network. For indoor work, it shows infrastructure on 2D and 3D building models by floor and height, and users can move from an outdoor map into a building. Nodes and trays can be digitised in a web interface, or entered without a map and placed later from their coordinates. Existing inventory, drawings, and background data can be imported from common geo-formats. FNT names telecom operators planning fibre rollouts, data center operators connecting cages and campuses, and enterprises managing campus networks as the main users. Esri's listing also tags electric and gas utilities and railroads. GeoMaps has been listed on the Esri ArcGIS Marketplace since January 2024. Pricing is not published. You request a quote from FNT or a reseller such as SoftwareOne, and FNT's product page offers a demo and a trial. The main limitation is that GeoMaps is not a standalone GIS. It depends on FNT Command and on Esri ArcGIS, so it suits organisations already committed to both. There are also very few independent user reviews to check it against.
