CrescentLink

subscription (quote-required) Design the Building

GIS-based fiber network management software built on Esri ArcGIS Pro and Enterprise -- supports complete network lifecycle management from design through construction, documentation, and operations with splicing records, connectivity tracing, and change history; backed by GEOGRAPH Technologies with direct access to GIS and fiber professionals for support.

Hidden Pricing

2.2 /5 composite score

Situational -- Esri-native fiber network management platform with strong splicing/schema management and direct professional support, trusted by electric cooperatives and broadband operators migrating from legacy systems; but quote-only pricing (RF1), no public API, and dependence on the Esri ArcGIS stack limit portability.
