We originally built Katapult Pro to serve our internal engineering team as we performed OSP design for new internet services within our area. As our engineering team has taken on new projects, they’ve continued to give great feedback on ways we can improve Katapult Pro for our customers as they grow, or those who are working on projects outside of aerial OSP.
With input from our customers and insights from our internal team, we’ve expanded Katapult Pro’s features and packages to improve workflows beyond the world of pole attachments—from pole inspections to equipment inventories to distribution design!
January Release Highlights
Live on katapultpro.com this afternoon!
3D View
With 3D models, your team can leverage integrated pole loading to render detailed pole models for a full in-depth view of your network. Any pole that has been modeled for integrated pole loading can be rendered in 3D for better context and quality control. This feature helps your team get up to speed on photo annotation and tracing by seeing a visual representation of those annotations and tracing in 3D view.
API Layer Styles from Source
API layers can now be configured using Source Styles, which mirrors the drawing info property from the layer source. This means that your Katapult Pro map layers can now look and feel just like your Master GIS records and styles!
Restore Node Locations from History
With the new “Restore” button, you can revert a node’s location based on its Geolocation History in the Node Info Panel. This is a helpful way to revert a node to its original or any previous location.
Communication Preferences
Control email communications and marketing preferences under the My Account menu.

Whether you’re connecting families and businesses with broadband or tackling recloser projects, fast internet and reliable power both demand a safe, resilient grid. Our new packages help your team keep the grid stable and communities safe while bringing essential services to your customers!
Data Collection
Telcom Audit: Gather massive amounts of defensible photo data to assess your networks, their conditions, incumbents, and areas to expand.
Distribution Inventory: Catalog equipment records, identify safety issues, and speed up your inventory workflows, collecting hundreds or even thousands of assets every day.
Broadband Deployment: Defensible photo data confirms your team captured the real conditions at the pole, building trust with pole owners and helping you get approval faster.
Utility Survey: Highly accurate photo documentation on equipment specs, conditions, heights, locations and more gives you necessary info for grid improvements, pole inspections, and more, so you can be confident in your grid.
Engineering Design
OSP Design: Import NESC or GO95 clearances and adjust rules based on your footprint to auto-flag all violations across projects. Use cost estimates to evaluate expensive moves, and break down simple versus complex make ready for one-touch workflows.
Distribution Design: Replace poles, model your designs in 3D view, run pole loading analysis, and more in Katapult Pro. Then use your engineering plans to populate construction packages for safer builds.
Workflow Management
Telecom Projects: Coordinate with attachers, utilities, and vendors with a portal workflow that standardized applications, keeps attachers informed, and improves collaboration across parties.
Distribution Projects: With compliance tracking, record hosting, and customizable project types, you can manage upgrades and improve your distribution grid using one platform.
