OSPInsight
4.8/10Fiber-optic network documentation software from IQGeo for planning, designing, building and maintaining outside plant fiber networks at smaller and private operators.
Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology
Overview
OSPInsight is outside plant (OSP) fiber network software. It records fiber routes, splicing and network assets in a database, and supports reporting and fault tracing across the network lifecycle, from planning and design through construction and maintenance. OSP engineers built it, and it has been sold for more than 25 years. Its main users are Tier 3 and Tier 4 regional telecom operators, along with private fiber networks run by municipalities, governments, universities, transport agencies and industrial or corporate owners. Directory listings describe the typical network as under about 10,000 fiber route miles. IQGeo bought OSPInsight International in December 2020 for $8.75 million. The ospinsight.com domain now redirects to an IQGeo product page. That page invites OSPInsight customers to move to IQGeo Network Manager Telecom, and one partner page describes OSPInsight as fully integrated into the IQGeo platform. Listings describe deployment as SaaS or on-premise, with predefined workflows. Pricing is quote-based and is not published, though a free trial and demo are offered. Independent review data is very limited. G2 shows about a 4.0 average from only a few reviews, and one reviewer said the web version freezes often. The main limitation is the product's direction: IQGeo now promotes Network Manager Telecom, so buyers should confirm the long-term roadmap and migration path before committing.
