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

MACRILON is a design service with an engine behind it: every stage below runs automatically, and every output is reviewable in the browser before anything goes to the field.

The pipeline, end to end

Each design moves through five automated stages. Most boundaries complete in hours; we quote a day to include engineering review.
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 engine resolves every serviceable address and unit count inside the boundary by cross-checking multiple authoritative open data sources — address registries, parcel and building footprints, and federal broadband serviceability data. The demand layer is built fresh per design, not bought from a locked dataset, and on our benchmark it lands within tolerance of the engineer-of-record count on 97.1% of designs.

03
Route design & network sizing

Distribution and feeder are routed along the real street network; cabinets, primary and secondary splitters, and handholes are placed and sized to your standards (e.g. 1×8/1×4 split, spare-capacity targets, port budgets). Two modes:

  • Match mode — designs the way an experienced OSP engineer in your market would, validated against real as-builts.
  • Min-cost mode — a cost-minimizing variant of the same network, typically 16–22% cheaper in constructed cost; useful as a negotiation and value-engineering reference.
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 and splice plans, footage by cable class, and a line-item costed bill of materials (labor, conduit, cable, materials, permits).
  • Plan map — the construction plan rendered on an aerial basemap (PDF/PNG) plus an interactive map.
  • CAD — CONSTRUCTION.dwg / .dxf for your drafting and permit workflows, and a routed KMZ/GIS export.
  • Build-readiness report — a per-design confidence score across homes, footage, rules, permits, and cost, so you know what to check before issuing.

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. When a human design of record exists, the portal shows both side by side, sheet for sheet.

The field-feedback loop

The part that makes design #10 better than design #1.

Corrections become rules

When your construction team moves a route, swaps a cabinet location, or flags a street that can't be bored, that correction is captured as structured feedback — not a PDF markup that dies in email. The engine re-applies it on the next design in that market automatically.

Your playbook, encoded

Over a handful of designs, MACRILON learns the build standards that make your plant yours: preferred sides of street, existing conduit to reuse, no-go segments, slack and terminal conventions. Incumbent tools ask consultants to hand-code this over months; we learn it from your corrections.

Permit-aware GIS

Every design ships with a permit matrix derived from authoritative GIS: which segments cross state DOT right-of-way, railroads, water, or municipal boundaries — and therefore which permits the build will need, before the first locate ticket. The plan map carries the same layers, so the permit desk and the field crew read from one source of truth.

Evaluate it against your own ground truth

Send a boundary your team has already engineered — comparing our package to your as-built is the entire pitch.
