Requirements

Clearwater County faced significant challenges deploying fiber across vast rural and mountainous areas, where manual quality checks slowed progress and risked costly reworks. To ensure efficiency and safety, the county required an automated solution capable of verifying tasks like splice tray cabling, closure pressurization, trenching depth, and handhole conformity, while providing real-time validation and scalable oversight across wide distances.

Results

By adopting Deepomatic Lens through the IQGeo platform, Clearwater County transformed quality control and project management. Field workers now capture task photos via mobile, instantly validated by AI for accuracy. This ensures first-time-right execution, reduces costly reworks, and delivers real-time as-built documentation to supervisors. The integration boosts efficiency, scalability, and accuracy, streamlining fiber rollout across challenging terrain.

In August 2025, IQGeo announced the acquisition of Deepomatic. Read the article in full on our news page.
