QGIS Tutorial: Find Nearest Fiber Optic Hub & Automate Tower Connections

Описание: Struggling with the tedious task of planning fiber optic connections for dozens or even hundreds of new towers or sites? In this powerful QGIS tutorial, we show you how to automate the entire process! Learn how to instantly identify the closest fiber optic hub (Joint Box, POP, PDI) for every single tower and then automatically generate the optimal connection route and calculate the required cable length.
This method will save you countless hours of manual work and is a game-changer for any telecom or network planning professional.
✅ In this video, you will learn to:
Use the "Distance to Nearest Hub" tool to find the closest connection point for all your sites at once.
Filter potential sites based on a maximum connection distance (e.g., within 500 meters).
Master the ORS Tools plugin for powerful, real-world batch routing.
Automatically generate the shortest driving/laying route from each tower to its designated fiber joint box.
Export a complete plan with precise cable lengths for budgeting and construction.
This tutorial is perfect for GIS Analysts, Network Planners, Telecom Engineers, and anyone involved in infrastructure design and deployment.
