A boundary goes in.
A complete, costed design comes out.

MACRILON is a design service: you send a boundary, a design package comes back for your engineers to review, and every output is reviewable in the browser before anything goes to the field.
Fiber design is invite-only right now — not yet open for general signup. This page describes what you get once it opens for your company.

The pipeline, end to end

Each design moves through five stages. We confirm scope and timing before work begins.
01
Boundary intake

You upload the service area as a KMZ, DXF/DWG, or GIS polygon — plus any rules of engagement (split architecture, capacity targets, construction preferences). No data preparation on your side.

02
Homes-passed data

The package counts the serviceable addresses and units inside the boundary from authoritative public data, so your reviewer can check homes passed address by address.

03
Route design & network sizing

Distribution and feeder are laid out along the street network, with cabinets, splitters and handholes sized to the parameters you set (for example split ratio and spare-capacity targets). In a new market, treat cost as budgetary until the local rate card is calibrated.

04
Costed package out

The deliverable is a complete design package, not a picture:

  • Workbook (.xlsx) — the full multi-tab engineering workbook: homes passed, splitter plan, footage by cable class, and a line-item costed bill of materials (labor, conduit, cable, materials, permits).
  • Plan map — the design plan rendered on an aerial basemap (PDF/PNG) plus an interactive map.
  • CAD files — DWG / DXF for your own drafting and permit work, and a routed KMZ export.
  • Readiness report — what your reviewer should check before anything is issued. Readiness reports are advisory. Your engineers make the design decisions and are responsible for review, required approvals, and authorization for construction. These packages are not construction authorization.

05
Review in the browser

Every deliverable opens directly in the portal — workbook sheets render as tables next to the plan map, so an engineer can audit splitter counts against the drawing without downloading a thing.

Permit list

Every design comes with a permit list: which crossings likely need permits — state DOT right-of-way, railroads, water, municipal boundaries — and the issuing agency for each, for your permit desk to confirm.

Evaluate it against your own ground truth

Send a boundary your team has already engineered. Compare our package with your own design, line for line. That comparison is the whole pitch.
