Unlocking New Possibilities and Advancing Network Planning and Operations
As network infrastructure expands and operational demands grow more complex, teams need more than tools to simply manage their networks. They need solutions that help them work efficiently, get more value from their data, and maintain control in increasingly demanding environments.
That’s why SpatialNetworX is thrilled to introduce spatialSUITE 10.1. This release is packed with meaningful enhancements and new capabilities to help teams manage network planning, engineering, and operations more effectively and efficiently.
Building on the foundation of spatialSUITE 10.0, version 10.1 brings smarter workflows and improved data management to AI-powered interactions and enhanced security, taking the platform to its most powerful version yet.
How has spatialSUITE evolved?
Every release builds on what came before. With spatialSUITE 10.1, SpatialNetworX continues to expand the platform, introducing new capabilities while strengthening existing tools. The comparison below highlights some of the key developments across both releases.

Move Projects Forward with Less Manual Work and Greater Efficiency
As projects grow, managing processes, data sources and teams become increasingly demanding. spatialSUITE 10.1 introduces improvements across several applications to help simplify these activities and support more efficient workflows.
Users benefit from improved cold start times, enhanced search capabilities, SharePoint repository support and expanded data import and export tools. Updates to Projects & Jobs, Field Edits and Workflows, and CAD Promotion further strengthen the way teams manage project information and carry out their work.
The release also introduces a range of enhancements across spatialNET and spatialOFFICE. These include support for AutoCAD and BricsCAD 2025 and 2026, spatialSTORM Reporting, Multi Edit from QBE, and the ability to change Fiber and Blown Fiber types. Other additions include Icons in Details and IDM Mount Point Alignment.
In spatialOFFICE, the new Network Explorer provides a non-map graphical interface for exploring network information, while the Circuit Reservation Builder adds another capability to the project and network management toolkit.
Cost Estimator also brings new possibilities for preparing project estimates and Engineering Plans, while Custom Layers and the Layer Catalogue offer additional flexibility when working with network data.
Together, these enhancements extend the tools available to engineering, planning, design, operations and field teams, supporting different stages of network projects within the spatialSUITE environment.
Turning Complex Network Data into Actionable Intelligence with AI
But efficiency is only part of the equation. What you do with your data matters just as much.
One of the key developments in spatialSUITE 10.1 is the introduction of the spatialAI MCP Server, bringing new ways to interact with network information through natural language.
With full model knowledge, users can query network data using natural language and display results through chat, tables or maps. This makes network information accessible through a different type of interaction, while allowing organisations to integrate these capabilities into their broader business environments.
Supporting this functionality, spatialMCP is introduced as a wrapper module that exposes 10 APIs and tools, allowing AI applications to access network data and tools through a controlled environment. Its capabilities also extend to trace and connectivity.
Alongside these developments, spatialINSIGHT introduces Enhanced Pathfinding, Ad Hoc and Nightly Diversity Analysis, and Capacity Explorer. The release also includes an Administration GUI and configuration tools for spatialINSIGHT, supporting the management and configuration of these capabilities.
These additions expand the ways teams can explore network data, assess capacity and work with complex network information.
Protect Your Environment While Gaining Greater Control and Flexibility
Of course, greater capabilities also call for greater control over the environments in which they operate. Security is another important focus of spatialSUITE 10.1, particularly within spatialSTORM.
The release introduces deeper support for OAuth and token management, CORS settings, and additional security flags for custom functions and spatialSTORM-specific features. It also provides more options to disable unused web services, helping organisations minimize their attack surface, alongside upgraded documentation libraries.
Data management capabilities have also been extended through Custom Layers and the Layer Catalogue. Users can import GIS data and serve it through WMS and WFS, promote GIS data and export it in GDAL formats by region.
Further improvements include Proxy Improvements and Trace Reports that now include entity references, alongside support for SharePoint repositories, improved search and faster cold start times.
For spatialFIELD, the release introduces offline capability, as well as picture and document attachments and improvements to Field Edits and Workflows. These additions provide further support for teams working with network information in the field.
Together, these updates strengthen the platform's security, data management and operational capabilities, while giving organisations more control over how their environments are configured and used.
Building on Today & Preparing for What's Next
Every improvement has a purpose: helping teams get more from the tools, data and workflows they rely on every day.
spatialSUITE 10.1 brings together improvements across the platform, addressing some of the key demands of modern network operations: efficiency, data accessibility, intelligence and security.
By expanding existing capabilities while introducing new ways to interact with network data through AI, SpatialNetworX continues to evolve its platform to support organisations as their networks and operational requirements grow.
spatialSUITE 10.1 is now available. Discover the latest capabilities and explore what the new release can bring to your network operations.
