EFL Telecom / GIS import & export
GIS import & export

Bring your network with you. Take it with you, too.

You should never have to re-digitize a network you already own — and no vendor should hold your as-built hostage. EFL Telecom imports the formats your data already lives in and exports them back, losslessly.

Import with mapping and a dry run

KMZ and KML import directly — lines become fiber segments, points become equipment, attributes come along. GeoJSON and zipped Shapefiles go through a mapping wizard: your columns on one side, EFL Telecom's fiber attributes on the other, with values coerced into valid domains (a status of "ACTIVE", "Active" or "act." all land as active).

Every import can be dry-run first: see exactly how many features would be created and what they'd look like, before a single row is committed. And because imports are recorded in the edit history, a bad one can be rolled back as a unit.

Export in four formats

GeoJSON, KMZ, Shapefile and CSV — the whole network or just your current selection from the map or attribute table. Handoff to a construction contractor, a regulator submission, or a full backup of your own data: it's one click, in the format the recipient asked for.

Round-trip fidelity, tested

What you export re-imports identically — geometry, attributes, fiber counts. We treat that as a tested requirement of the product, because "no lock-in" is only true if the export is actually complete.

Works with the tools you already run

Shapefile and GeoJSON in and out means EFL Telecom coexists with QGIS, ArcGIS and whatever your engineering consultants use. Adopt it as the system of record without demanding the whole supply chain change software on day one.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import a Shapefile with my own column names?

Yes — zipped Shapefiles (and GeoJSON) go through a field-mapping step where you match your columns to fiber attributes. Values are coerced into valid domains, and you can dry-run the import before committing.

What can I export?

Everything, or just your current selection — as GeoJSON, KMZ, Shapefile or CSV. Exports re-import losslessly.

What happens if an import goes wrong?

Imports are recorded in the edit history like any other change, so a bad import can be rolled back in one action — deleted from the network with a full audit trail.
