From the Trench to the Cloud: NET Scan Is Trans­forming Fiber Construction

CHEMNITZ, Germany, October, 1st, 2025 — TKI mbH launched NET Scan in the first quarter of 2025.
NET Scan is a breakthrough field capture technology that is redefining the way fiber networks are built, documented, and managed. As fiber infrastructure becomes the backbone of tomorrow’s digital world, TKI mbH is focused on addressing the field-level challenges that delay progress and increase cost across Europe and beyond.

Delays in documentation, unclear field conditions, and fragmented reporting have long slowed down network deployments, increased rework, and reduced transparency between teams. NET Scan provides a practical and scalable solution by combining real-time data capture, high-precision 3D scanning, and secure cloud integration, giving operators and contractors full visibility into every stage of construction.

“Fiber infrastructure has become mission critical for economic growth and digital innovation,” said Dr. Matthias Pohler, Chief Executive Officer of TKI mbH. “NET Scan closes the gap between planning and execution. It brings construction sites into clear focus with accurate, real-time data, enabling better decisions, faster progress, and higher quality outcomes.”

What Is NET Scan

NET Scan is a mobile scanning solution that combines LiDAR technology and highprecision GNSS to capture detailed 3D data, geotagged photographs, and vector-based annotations.

This enables routes to be digitally surveyed with centimeter-level accuracy, while installed materials such as ducts, cables, connectors, and distribution structures are precisely captured and documented.

All collected data is seamlessly integrated into NET Cloud, TKI’s secure and browser-accessible geospatial platform.

From there, the information can be exported into all common geospatial formats or imported directly into TKI’s own NET software suite. The solution creates a complete digital twin of the construction site. Data is captured on location, reviewed in the cloud, and made instantly available for compliance, quality assurance, and billing. This provides a reliable foundation for transparent workflows and faster, data-driven decisions.

Key Differentiators

  • Preconfigured hardware kit including iPhone Pro with LiDAR, GNSS receiver, RTK SIM card, and NET Cloud access
  • Real-time uploads for immediate centralized review and measurement
  • High-precision 3D data capturing trenches, bore pits, vaults, house drops, and splice points with centimeter accuracy
  • AI-powered image tagging that automatically classifies photographs to improve asset tracking and quality assurance
  • Live on-device processing with no post-production required
  • Transparent fixed pricing without hidden fees or complex licensing
  • Compliance-ready and secure, GDPR compliant, hosted in the European Union and designed for critical infrastructure environments
  • Comprehensive support services

Proven Results

NET Scan is already delivering measurable results for network operators and construction partners. It reduces rework, accelerates quality assurance, and shortens billing cycles from weeks to days. Construction managers can validate progress remotely, subcontractors receive faster payments, and operators gain full operational oversight.

Projects advance more quickly. Documentation becomes immediate. Accountability increases. NET Scan delivers clarity where uncertainty once dominated by capturing and archiving every trench, vault, and connection in verifiable detail.
