Katapult was built to solve these specific pain points.
One of Katapult’s standout capabilities is its engineering module. It allows for digital "make-ready" calculations—determining what work needs to be done to prepare a pole for a new attachment. Engineers can calculate clearances, attachment heights, and wind loading within the software, ensuring compliance with NESC (National Electrical Safety Code) and GO 95/128 standards before a bucket truck ever hits the field.
Based on current academic and industry databases (such as Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore, and ACM Digital Library), with that exact title or focused solely on that proprietary software. Katapult is a niche, commercially available solution for utility pole attachment management (joint use), and such software is rarely the subject of standalone academic research.
Enter , the premier joint use management software designed to bring order to the chaos of pole attachments. By digitizing and streamlining the relationship between utility pole owners and attachers (telecom companies, cable providers, and municipalities), Katapult is redefining how shared infrastructure is managed.
Katapult provides a unified dashboard where all stakeholders can view the status of pole attachments. For pole owners, this means a real-time view of their inventory. For attachers, it means transparency regarding the status of their applications. This visibility eliminates the "black hole" effect where applications go to die.

You could write a (if for a class or internal report) structured as:
In the complex web of modern infrastructure, utility poles are the vertical backbone of our connected world. They carry the power that lights our homes, the fiber that feeds our internet, and the cables that deliver our entertainment. But as the demand for broadband expands and 5G networks densify, the real estate on these poles is becoming increasingly crowded.
