Deep Delve

Start here when you want to understand a spot before you dig. Drop a pin where you're working, or trace out the route or area you're planning, then hit Analyze. Deep Delve goes and gathers everything about that ground — what the soil is like and how hard it'll be to dig, the geology and frost depth, whether it floods, who owns the parcels, and what permits and right-of-way conflicts you'll run into, along with any contamination, seismic, and weather notes. You get a written report, and the findings drop right onto the map. Every analysis you run is saved on this device, so you can pull up an old one anytime from History.

This one's for figuring out where it's worth building fiber. Zoom to an area and scan it, and Deep Delve scores the ground for you — where the fiber gaps are, what the homes are worth, how dense the housing is, how many BEAD-eligible homes there are, and the nearest existing plant you'd build from. Or step back and run a report across every county in the country, sorted by what you care about: growing into new territory, upgrading service you already have, or going head-to-head with a competitor. Whatever you scan, you get a plain-English brief that explains what you're looking at.

When you're ready to plan the permits for a build, draw your route on the map — or bring in a KML you already have. Deep Delve walks the line and flags every road you cross and every stretch where you're running inside someone's right-of-way, tells you exactly who to call for each one, and builds the PDF exhibits you can hand straight to the county.

Fiber doesn't stay underground the whole way, so tell it how the route starts — underground or aerial — then click anywhere on the line to drop a transition (that's the riser, where it goes from a pole into the ground or back up) and mark each stretch as underground or aerial. You can snap a section right onto the road it follows, and every point tells you which road it's on or crossing and the nearest intersection. When you need the fine print, hit Get requirements and it pulls the actual permit rules for that authority.
