Current Software Solutions

​

RRAD Geospatial Group builds GIS-enabled software for real utility operations.

Our software is not generic mapping. It is designed around the way electric utilities, fiber utilities, dispatchers, field crews, engineers, planners, and managers actually work. These tools turn GIS data into operational decisions: where an outage is, what assets are affected, what fiber path is connected, what equipment ports are used, what weather risk is developing, and what crews need to know before they roll.

RRAD solutions are built using modern GIS architecture, including QGIS, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, Python, FastAPI, web mapping frameworks, mobile-friendly interfaces, and custom integrations with utility systems.

​

Web-Based Utility Operations Platforms

​

RRAD Outage Public Map

​

A customer-facing outage map designed for electric utilities.

​

RRAD WeatherBoard Web Command Center

A web-based weather intelligence platform built specifically for electric and fiber utility operations.

Built for:

• AMI outage workflows

• MultiSpeak-based integration

• Outage automation

• Meter status ingestion

• Utility system interoperability

​

QGIS Desktop Software Suites

​

RRAD LightFlow

A QGIS-based fiber network intelligence suite.

LightFlow LITE models fiber connectivity the way it exists in the field: cable, splice, fiber, port, equipment, path, trace, and survivability. It is built around explicit connectivity truth instead of assuming that geometry alone can explain a fiber network.

​

Core capabilities include:

• Node_Cables

• CableSense

• Place Splice Node

• Splice Board

• Manage Splices

• Quick Splice View

• OTDR correlation

• Reports

• StreetView field context

​

LightFlow is designed for fiber planners, GIS operators, engineers, splicing teams, and operations staff who need to know what is actually connected, not just what is drawn on the map. The LightFlow user guide lists these major tools and reinforces that LightFlow is built around explicit splice truth and operational fiber decision-making. 

​

RRAD LightFlow Web

A browser-based and mobile-friendly companion to LightFlow workflows.

LightFlow Web brings fiber network visibility to users who do not live inside QGIS every day. It is intended for quick access, field review, mobile viewing, and simplified operational awareness of fiber assets, splice points, equipment, and network context.

Why RRAD Software Is Different

​

RRAD software is built for operations first.

Most GIS platforms are good at storing data and drawing maps. RRAD software goes further by turning that data into field decisions, dispatch decisions, planning decisions, and management decisions.

​

Our tools are designed to answer practical questions:

• Where is the outage?

• What customers are affected?

• What crews need to know before they roll?

• What assets are exposed to weather risk?

• What fiber path is actually connected?

• Which splitter ports are used?

• Where is the single point of failure?

• What electric sections are overloaded or voltage-constrained?

• What data is wrong before it causes operational problems?

​

RRAD builds software for the people who have to act on the map, not just look at it.

​

Built Around Open, Flexible GIS Architecture

​

RRAD solutions can be deployed using open-source GIS technology, ESRI-based environments, or hybrid architectures depending on client needs.

​

Typical technologies include:

​

• QGIS

• PostgreSQL / PostGIS

• Python

• FastAPI

• Web mapping applications

• Mobile-friendly browser interfaces

• Utility database integrations

• Custom APIs

• GIS automation tools

​

This gives utilities more control, more flexibility, and less dependence on one-size-fits-all software.

​
