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 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 design through to documentation and QA without leaving open formats. FiberQ Designer (AGPL-3.0-or-later), a browser-based companion in active development, extends the same open data model to the web with a map view, a splice manager, network diagrams and a manhole/chamber editor. 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 - together with the initial beta foundations of FiberQ Designer on the same open codebase. The project targets municipalities, smaller operators, contractors and engineering teams that today rely on proprietary CAD/GIS suites with non-portable data formats.
