Speqtiv helps utilities manage the complete make-ready process — from initial field survey through remediation tracking — with a mobile app built for crews working in the field. GPS-stamped records, photo documentation, and an audit trail that satisfies FCC pole attachment requirements.
The make-ready process is one of the most document-intensive workflows a utility manages. When a new attacher — a telecom provider, cable operator, or ISP — requests access to an existing pole, the owning utility must survey the pole, assess whether capacity exists, determine what remediation work is needed, coordinate that work, and document every step before the new attachment can proceed.
Paper-based make-ready programs create serious bottlenecks: surveys are slow, remediation tracking falls through the cracks, and documentation is incomplete when disputes arise. Federal rules under the FCC's pole attachment framework require utilities to process applications within defined timelines — delays caused by poor documentation create regulatory exposure.
Speqtiv gives utility field crews a mobile app to conduct make-ready field surveys and document attachment conditions — the same platform used for joint use pole inspection and pole audits. Survey crews navigate to poles using the GIS map, capture structured field data and photos offline, and sync records to the manager dashboard automatically. Managers track survey progress, flag poles needing remediation, and generate work orders — all from the desktop dashboard.
Survey crews use the Speqtiv mobile app to assess existing attachment conditions, measure clearances, document attacher equipment, and photograph the pole — all offline, GPS-stamped, and tied to the pole's permanent record.
Survey findings flow to the dashboard where managers review pole capacity, existing attachment heights, and structural condition. Poles requiring remediation before new attachment can proceed are flagged automatically.
Work orders for rearrangement, transfer, or replacement are generated from the dashboard and assigned to crews. Progress is tracked against each pole until remediation is confirmed complete with photographic documentation.
Once remediation is complete and attachment is permitted, the full make-ready record — survey data, photos, work orders, inspector attribution, and timestamps — is available as a compliance-ready audit trail.
Survey crews work in areas with no cell signal. The Speqtiv app works fully offline — all data syncs automatically when connectivity returns. No lost surveys.
Every make-ready survey record is GPS-stamped to sub-5 meter accuracy. Know exactly which pole was surveyed, by whom, and when — with coordinates that tie back to your GIS system.
Capture photos of existing attachments, clearance conditions, and structural concerns. Each photo is tied to the pole record and retained as part of the permanent audit trail.
Configurable field forms capture attachment heights, equipment types, condition ratings, and remediation requirements — structured so every surveyor captures consistent data.
Field crews navigate to survey poles using the GIS map in the mobile app. Manager dashboard shows survey progress across the route with color-coded status indicators.
Poles requiring remediation generate work orders directly from the survey record. Assign tasks to crews, track completion, and require photo confirmation before closing.
Multiple survey crews can work simultaneously — all records sync to a shared dashboard. Managers see real-time progress without waiting for crews to return to the office.
Every survey, assessment, and work order is timestamped, user-attributed, and retained. Produces a defensible make-ready record that satisfies FCC pole attachment documentation requirements.
Investor-owned utilities and municipal electric systems managing high volumes of pole attachment applications from broadband providers, cable companies, and telecom carriers. Speqtiv reduces survey time and eliminates documentation gaps that delay application processing.
Rural electric cooperatives fielding increased attachment requests from broadband providers seeking to expand rural internet access. Speqtiv's offline capability is essential for cooperatives managing poles across remote territories with limited connectivity.
Engineering and survey firms conducting make-ready field surveys on behalf of attaching entities or owning utilities. Speqtiv provides a structured, GPS-documented survey platform that produces records all parties can rely on.

TRY LIVE DEMO → REQUEST A DEMOMake-ready refers to the work that must be completed before a new attacher (telecom company, cable provider, or ISP) can add equipment to an existing utility pole. The owning utility must survey the pole, assess its capacity, document existing conditions, determine what rearrangement or remediation is needed, and coordinate that work before the new attachment proceeds. Speqtiv is make ready pole management software that digitizes this entire process from field survey through final documentation.
Speqtiv supports the field documentation and coordination components of one-touch make-ready workflows. The platform enables utilities to conduct structured pole surveys, document existing attacher conditions with GPS and photos, issue rearrangement work orders to crews, and maintain the timestamped audit trail that FCC pole attachment rules require. The dashboard gives managers real-time visibility into survey and remediation progress.
Each surveyed pole gets a GPS-stamped, photo-documented record that includes: existing attacher equipment and condition, attachment heights, pole capacity assessment, required remediation, inspector identity, and timestamp. Work orders generated from survey findings are also retained with completion documentation. The complete record is exportable for attacher billing, regulatory compliance, and dispute resolution.
Yes. The Speqtiv mobile app is fully offline-capable. Survey crews can document poles, capture photos, and complete structured survey forms without any cell signal. All data syncs to the manager dashboard automatically when connectivity is available — essential for utility crews working in areas with poor coverage.
