get_fiber_intel
Map fiber routes by carrier and type, including long-haul, metro, dark fiber, and IX. Returns GeoJSON for visualizing spatial connectivity in site selection and route planning.
Instructions
Use when scoring a candidate site for fiber depth, mapping long-haul routes between metros, or assessing dark-fiber availability for a hyperscale build. Example: "Show all Zayo long-haul fiber routes through Northern Virginia I can put on a Leaflet map." — get_fiber_intel carrier=Zayo route_type=longhaul. Params: carrier one of "Zayo" | "Lumen" | "Cogent" | "Crown Castle" | "Windstream" | "GTT" | "Uniti" | "FiberLight" | "Segra" | "Arcadian Infracom" (omit for all carriers); route_type one of "metro" | "longhaul" | "dark" | "ix"; market a metro name or slug (e.g. "dallas", "ashburn", "northern-virginia") to return ONLY routes touching that metro (either endpoint near it) — pairs well with route_type=longhaul to map a metro's long-haul backbones. Returns: GeoJSON FeatureCollection {features:[{geometry, properties:{carrier, route_type, fiber_count, lit_capacity_gbps, capacity, distance_miles, distance_km}}]} ready to drop into Leaflet/Mapbox. Do NOT use to count fiber providers at a single facility (use get_facility) or for IX interconnection-density scores (use analyze_site).
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| market | No | Metro name or slug (e.g. "dallas", "ashburn", "northern-virginia") — returns only routes touching that metro (either endpoint within ~1.2°). Great with route_type=longhaul. | |
| carrier | No | Fiber carrier to filter on, e.g. Zayo, Lumen, Cogent, "Crown Castle", Windstream, GTT, Uniti; omit for all carriers | |
| route_type | No | Route class: "metro", "longhaul", "dark", or "ix" | |
| include_sources | No | Include upstream data-source/provenance metadata in the response |
