The Nebraska HLD Project for Lumen involved a comprehensive fiber planning initiative targeting 5,500 residential units. Infraplus received base inputs in ArcGIS Pro, including precise address locations and FDH cabinet placements.

The initial phase included:

Utility verification (gas, sewer, water lines)
Route optimization to minimize conflicts
Planning rear-home bore paths
Placement of handholes at lot lines

Based on Lumen’s design standards, PLC (Primary Local Connection) and IST (Intermediate Split Terminal) boundaries were created. These zones adhered to 1:4 and 1:8 split configurations. A standard 1:16 primary splitter was adopted to serve up to 64 units per 1F1 layout.

Design layers and infrastructure elements included:

Pigtails and bore paths
Underground fiber routes (UG Fiber)
10” and 14” proposed PEDS and splice access points
Parcel data mapping
Cabinet and central office locations
IST and PLC polygon boundaries

By using ArcGIS Pro, the design ensured spatial accuracy, scalability, and a ready-to-construct utility-aligned layout, compliant with all local regulations and Lumen's internal specifications.
