Successful networks start with thorough planning. At Lynx, our site surveys and field assessments provide the real-world details that make network planning work. From field data collection to LiDAR mapping, we help you see the ground clearly so you can build smart, reliable networks
You can’t plan a network without knowing what’s on the ground. Where are the assets? What are the obstacles? The real terrain—not just what the map says—defines the network you build.
Our site surveys and field assessments gather accurate, actionable data—insights that tell you where assets are, what obstacles exist, and how to design a network that works seamlessly in the real world. This is the difference between a plan that works in theory and one that works in practice.
The simplest way to know what’s out there is to go look. Our teams collect data firsthand—poles, pathways, cables, and everything in between. If maps don’t exist, we create them. If they’re wrong, we fix them.
Our field teams collect precise data on utility poles, underground conduit paths, and right-of-way requirements, ensuring compliance with municipal, hydro, and environmental permitting processes.
Walkouts are simple, but they solve problems no map can. By physically inspecting the area, we identify problems and adjust the designs before they become costly mistakes. Every detail—every splice, access point, and pole—gets recorded, so there’s no guesswork later.
Networks don’t exist in a vacuum. Wetlands, historic sites, and protected areas can stop progress if you don’t plan around them.
Our environmental studies identify risks early, enabling smarter planning. Whether in an urban center or a rural area, we help you design a network that works with the environment, not against it
Most networks already exist, but their records often don’t. Before you expand or upgrade, you need to know what’s really there. Are fiber routes accurately documented? Is the splicing aligned with current network design standards? Do they meet current capacity needs?
Our audits verify existing fiber infrastructure, identify discrepancies, and ensure network expansions integrate seamlessly with what’s already there.
Networks are more than cables and nodes—they’re systems that need to be mapped, managed, and updated. Our asset mapping includes fiber route documentation, splice records, pole line assessments, and GIS-integrated network plans. With GIS tools and cloud-based systems, we ensure all fiber assets are accurately recorded and easily accessible for future upgrades or maintenance.
Some areas are too complex for walkouts. That’s where LiDAR comes in. Mounted on drones or vehicles, LiDAR scans landscapes with millimeter precision. It captures terrain, obstacles, and assets faster and more accurately than manual methods.
Dense vegetation, steep hills, congested cities—whatever the challenge, LiDAR reduces uncertainty and helps you plan confidently. For example, in a heavily forested area where traditional surveys often fail to capture clear routes, LiDAR can pinpoint pathways through dense tree cover, saving time and construction costs.
LiDAR technology is especially valuable for dense urban fiber deployments and rural HFC planning. Whether assessing fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) pathways or validating hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) infrastructure, LiDAR ensures precision in network planning
Transform raw data into actionable plans. GIS tools model routes, analyze terrain, and map every network detail with precision.
Millimeter-accurate scans capture even the most complex environments, so you see every challenge before it becomes a problem.
Accessible, up-to-date network records keep your teams aligned and your projects moving efficiently.
At Lynx, we deliver clarity. With years of experience in broadband network planning, we understand the details that make projects succeed. Our team works as your partner, anticipating challenges before they become obstacles and finding solutions that keep your project on track.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Whether it’s walkouts, GIS mapping, or LiDAR surveys, our methods ensure your network plans are based on reliable, real-world data.
Our solutions are designed to grow with your network’s needs—from small projects to large-scale deployments.
We deeply understand network infrastructure and offer recommendations that make planning and execution seamless.
Every detail we deliver helps you reduce risks, lower costs, and build a lasting network.
Networks are only as strong as the data they’re built on. At Lynx, we help you gather that data—accurately, efficiently, and thoroughly.
From detailed field surveys to cutting-edge LiDAR assessments, we provide the data that powers smarter network decisions. Let’s build a broadband future—together.
Site surveys provide real-world data that improves accuracy and prevents costly surprises during network design and deployment.
LiDAR delivers precise 3D maps of terrain and assets, making it ideal for complex or large areas where manual surveys fall short.
Asset documentation includes maps and records of all network components, like utility poles, cables, splice points, and pathways.
They identify risks early—such as protected lands or historic zones—so your network complies with regulations and avoids unnecessary delays.
Yes. Site surveys and audits help verify current systems and ensure new plans integrate seamlessly with what’s already there.
The duration depends on the project size and complexity. Smaller areas might take days, while large-scale surveys can take weeks.
LiDAR captures highly detailed, 3D data quickly, even in difficult environments, making it far more accurate and efficient than traditional surveys.
Yes, we tailor our site surveys and assessments to meet the unique requirements of your project—whether it’s urban, rural, or environmentally sensitive.
