There has been significant growth in the global GIS market over the past several decades. The GIS market in the telecommunication industry is one of the fastest-growing GIS markets worldwide.

So fast, in fact, it has a forecasted compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% from 2021 to 2025. A large part of this growth is due to the need for stakeholders to understand the network structure on a near real-time basis.

GIS is crucial for giving regulators the information they need to build and run cheaper infrastructure.

On this episode of Fiberside Chat with 3-GIS, host Tyler Kern talked with Michael Measels, VP Product Management at 3-GIS, and Randall Rene, Industry Solutions Specialist at 3-GIS.

The trio talked about the value of GIS in the telecom enterprise. One way GIS is used to increase speed in the market. There are a few different ways to look at this, according to Measels.

He noted the importance of thinking about this from a strategic and financial mindset. If you look at GIS through the lens of investor or CFO, it is essential to define speed to market.

“But, I think you can look at it from the CFO’s perspective, in terms of what the investor may or may not be looking for,” Measels said. “In terms of that construct, you need to look at defining speed to market, reducing churn and reducing the cost of network buildout, and, ultimately, providing an opportunity for future investment.”

Satellite bus maker Apex is in talks to raise $500 million at a $4 billion valuation

Satellite bus maker Apex is in talks to raise $500 million at a $4 billion valuation

Bloomberg reported on October 22 that satellite bus maker Apex is in talks to raise about $500 million at a valuation of roughly $4 billion, with Washington Harbour Partners expected to lead and Andreessen Horowitz and XYZ Venture Capital participating. The talks are unconfirmed. Apex raised $200 million at a $2.3 billion valuation in June and is working with Northrop Grumman on Golden Dome interceptors.

  • 01Apex's Factory One is designed to build around 200 standardized satellite bus platforms annually, with the June funding allocated for expansion and deeper vertical integration.
  • 02The company is being valued as an industrial manufacturer with a product line, not as a launch provider or constellation operator, signaling a shift in space manufacturing economics.
  • 03Demand for proliferated national security constellations, where the Pentagon buys large fleets of smaller satellites instead of a few exquisite ones, is behind the reported valuation talks.

Procore's AI Go app lets jobsite crews ask their project data out loud

Procore's AI Go app lets jobsite crews ask their project data out loud

Procore AI Go is a voice-first app, now in open beta, that answers crew questions from drawings, specs, RFIs and daily logs. Procore plans to let crews create daily logs and draft RFIs by voice, and to bring its AI agents to the app.

  • 01Procore AI Go starts as a voice lookup tool. Procore says crews will later be able to create daily logs and draft RFIs by voice.
  • 02Neither headline productivity figure measures field voice queries; an independently designed study at Moss Construction is the first test aimed at AI Go and AI wearables specifically.

Matt Willson makes the case for modular chip plants

Matt Willson makes the case for modular chip plants

Holland Construction’s Matt Willson argues for modular chip and battery plants. ABC’s updated 2026 workforce estimate is 349,000 net new workers.

  • 0145% of contractors say a project ran late because they couldn’t staff it, making crew availability a bid-time question for owners planning a new plant.
  • 02Once modules are fabricated, design changes generally can’t be made, pushing decisions and costs earlier in the project.
