Telecommunications
Persistent structure identity for the physical locations networks serve.
PIID™ gives telecommunications providers, broadband operators, network planners, infrastructure companies, and technology platforms a persistent way to identify the physical structures that networks serve, connect, and support.
Telecommunications
One structure identity across service locations, network systems, operations, and time.
PIID™ gives telecommunications providers, broadband operators, network planners, infrastructure companies, and technology platforms a persistent way to identify the physical structures that networks serve, connect, and support.
The telecommunications identity problem
A service location is not always a structure identity.
Telecommunications systems reference the built environment through service addresses, premise records, customer accounts, coordinates, parcels, network locations, internal identifiers, and GIS objects.
Each serves a purpose.
None necessarily provides a persistent identity for the physical structure receiving or hosting network services.
One address can represent multiple structures.
A parcel can contain multiple buildings.
Customers can change.
Service accounts can change.
Network technologies can change.
Premise records can differ between systems.
The physical structure remains.
Without persistent structure identity, telecommunications providers repeatedly reconcile the same physical locations across network, customer, geospatial, and operational systems.
- Service address
- Node ID
- Account
- Network loc.
PIID Resolve™
Resolve the structure behind the service location.
PIID Resolve™ identifies, validates, and resolves physical structures to persistent infrastructure identities.
Addresses, parcels, coordinates, geometry, and supported telecommunications records can resolve to the same physical structure through PIID™, giving network and enterprise systems a consistent structure reference across service qualification, deployment, operations, customer systems, and time.
Persistent identity can reduce duplicate records, matching errors, and ambiguity while improving continuity between service locations and the physical structures they represent.
Know which structure the network serves. Persistently.
PIID Resolve™Built for telecommunications workflows
One persistent identity across network planning and operations.
Service Qualification
Resolve the physical structure associated with an address, parcel, coordinate, or supported premise record before determining service availability.
Broadband Deployment
Provide planners with consistent structure references across deployment territories, service areas, geospatial environments, and network expansion programs.
Fiber Planning
Connect planned network coverage and supported service records to the physical structures intended to receive connectivity.
Fixed Wireless
Maintain a persistent structure reference when evaluating locations, geometry, service relationships, and supported spatial information.
GIS and Network Planning
Connect persistent structure identity with identity resolved building geometry across geospatial and planning environments.
Field Operations
Give technicians and operational systems a consistent reference to the physical structure associated with installation, maintenance, repair, and service activity.
Service Assurance
Maintain structure continuity across customer, network, support, and operational workflows.
Portfolio and Territory Analysis
Resolve physical structures consistently across markets, service territories, datasets, systems, and network programs.
Service location resolution
Networks connect locations.PIID™ identifies the structures at those locations.
A telecommunications network may know where service is available.
A customer system may know the service address.
A GIS platform may know the coordinates.
A premise system may maintain another identifier.
But the same location can contain more than one physical structure.
PIID™ provides a persistent identity for the structure itself.
Together, they create a clearer connection between network service and the physical asset being served.
Move from location level reference to structure level clarity.
Multi structure properties
One address can represent multiple serviceable structures.
Campuses, commercial properties, industrial sites, multifamily environments, institutional properties, and residential parcels can contain multiple qualifying structures.
An address may describe the location.
A parcel may describe the land.
Neither necessarily distinguishes every structure that may require network service or operational attention.
PIID™ provides each qualifying structure with its own persistent identity.
UMIP Structure Schedule™ can document the qualifying structure inventory associated with the property.
One property. Every qualifying structure. Clearly identified.
UMIP Structure Schedule™
Know every structure within the service location.
UMIP Structure Schedule™ creates a documented inventory of qualifying structures on a property, identifying each through its PIID™, location, and relationship to the parcel.
For campuses, commercial properties, industrial sites, multifamily environments, and other complex locations, Structure Schedule™ can provide clearer visibility into exactly which structures exist and where they are located.
Structure clarity before service, deployment, and operations.

In development
Network expansion
Give network investment a persistent physical reference.
Telecommunications networks evolve continuously.
Fiber expands.
Wireless infrastructure changes.
New technologies are deployed.
Service areas grow.
Properties are redeveloped.
Customer relationships change.
PIID™ provides a persistent structure reference that can remain stable while the network and commercial relationships surrounding the structure continue to evolve.
The network evolves. The structure identity persists.
System interoperability
Different telecommunications systems.Same physical structure.
A customer platform may reference an account.
A premise system may reference a service location.
GIS may reference geometry.
Network planning may reference coordinates.
Field operations may reference a work order.
Property data may reference an address or parcel.
PIID™ gives supported systems a persistent way to reference the same physical structure without requiring those systems to abandon their existing identifiers.
Identity becomes the connection point across telecommunications systems.
Data quality and duplication
Reduce ambiguity before it reaches network workflows.
Different sources can represent the same physical structure through different addresses, coordinates, premise records, and internal identifiers.
PIID Resolve™ reconciles supported references around the physical structure itself.
This can help reduce duplicate structure records, matching errors, inconsistent references, and repeated reconciliation across supported telecommunications workflows.
Better structure identity creates stronger network data continuity.
AI and network intelligence
Give telecommunications analytics persistent physical context.
Network analytics and AI increasingly combine service information, property data, geospatial information, customer signals, network performance, and planning data.
PIID™ provides a persistent physical structure reference around which supported information can resolve.
Persistent structure identity gives intelligent network systems a stable reference to the built environment.
Enterprise delivery
Built for telecommunications technology environments.
PIID Resolve™ is delivered through enterprise APIs using structured JSON responses.
Technical teams can integrate persistent structure identity and identity resolved geometry directly into GIS environments, network planning systems, service qualification platforms, customer systems, field applications, analytical environments, data pipelines, and enterprise workflows.
API delivered. Machine readable. Built for integration at scale.
Data control
Existing telecommunications systems remain in place.
PIID™ provides a persistent identity reference across existing network, customer, geospatial, and enterprise technology environments.
It does not require telecommunications providers, infrastructure companies, technology platforms, or data providers to replace their existing databases, systems, or identifiers.
Existing systems retain their role. PIID™ provides continuity at the physical structure level.
Governed by GIIS™
Persistent structure identity requires consistent rules.
GIIS™ establishes the governance framework for assigning, resolving, referencing, and maintaining persistent infrastructure identity across systems and organizations.
That consistency allows structure identity to remain stable as telecommunications networks, technologies, service relationships, systems, and data environments evolve.
At scale
Persistent infrastructure identity for connected systems.
