We are over half-way through the year, and it has been a very busy few months for our product development team. At IQGeo we are listening to the needs of our customers and constantly enhancing our existing products and creating new products. With the rapid business and social changes we’ve seen in 2020, now more than ever before, it is critical to have a single source of network truth for everyone across your enterprise. Field and office teams must have the accurate, timely information they need to improve operational collaboration and efficiency as our businesses rapidly evolve.
It’s our mission to deliver the geospatial software solutions our telecommunications and utility customers need to meet their operational and business challenges. Below is a summary of the key product releases and updates so far this year that are addressing some of the challenges and evolving landscape for network operators across telecoms and utilities.
IQGeo Platform 6.0
The IQGeo Platform is the foundation for our award-winning, mobile-first software solutions, transforming the ability of telecoms and utility network operators to design and manage their complex and constantly evolving network assets.
Key updates for this release include:
- Migration from Leaflet to OpenLayers to provide support for map rotation
- Supporting libraries were upgraded including the replacement of Pylons with Pyramid
- Plugin added to control touch styles on devices that support touch
The 6.0 release of our software also included a product name change from myWorld to the IQGeo Platform. This change reflects our focus on the IQGeo corporate brand that was launched at the beginning of 2019. You can read more details about the IQGeo Platform 6.0 release on our news page and product release center.
Network Manager Fiber 1.1
At the end of 2019 we announced the launch of Network Manager, a new product that extends the IQGeo Platform to design, maintain and edit telecoms networks. Our mobile-first scalable and flexible solution enables telecoms operators to reimagine their digital transformation strategy for network deployment and operations. Network Manager replaces complex, centralized, legacy GIS with a flexible, open approach that is simple to deploy and cost-effective to operate.
Following the initial product release of Network Manager Fiber 1.0, the most recent release of 1.1 includes a focus on additional data model support and REST API.
