FiberQ + FiberQ Designer
Interoperable open tooling for fiber rollout
FiberQ is a free and open-source toolchain for designing, documenting and validating fiber-optic access networks — FTTH, GPON and the underlying duct infrastructure — inside the open QGIS ecosystem. The FiberQ QGIS plugin (GPL-3.0-or-later) has been in production since v1.0 in December 2025, with several feature releases since, and provides a dedicated infrastructure data model and repeatable workflows that take a design through to documentation and QA without ever leaving open formats. This grant funds the next major plugin release — schema migrations, automated topology and attribute validation with audit-ready reporting, performance work for large projects, automated tests with CI, and import/export tooling built on GeoPackage and GeoJSON, including a documented open project-interchange format for portable exchange between the plugin and other tools.
FiberQ Designer, a separate browser-based companion developed independently as a commercial product, interoperates with the plugin through this open interchange format.
