Fiber Network Services is a technology leader in providing Internet access. The company uses state-of-the-art optical networks, thus creating not only a secure but also a highly stable network, connecting homes and businesses. They operate in the Czech Republic and strive to speed up the Internet in specific regions, mainly cities and their neighborhoods.

Challenge

FNS was looking for a tool to visualize high-speed coverage in the city. With such visualization, customers could easily find out the range of services offered for their address (marked on the map).

FNS network parameters

optical network length

up to 1 Gbps

connection capacity

Solution

Globema ensured the delivery of a complete solution for network data visualization, including data preparation.
FNS chose the Google Maps Platform because of the API services offered and the easy implementation into websites. The highest priority was given to the Autocomplete function – for suggestion and address filling.

Our final project looks very professional, thanks to Google Maps, and sets us apart from the competitors. We are planning to use Google Maps for other projects in other cities. I rate the cooperation with Globema as excellent. I have not met such a company in a long time.
