Abstract: Several private and government institutions, schools, enterprises, universities and companies, having realized the importance of Fibre optics deployment are focused on adopting the technology to increase bandwidth for high-speed internet connection. Unreliable internet connection in The Centre for Religious Education and Social Services of the Archdiocese of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania has been a major issue affecting the efficient delivery of the Institution’s activities for several years. This study used geospatial tools to analyze the existing distribution of internet connection within the Centre and proposed suitable routes for Fibre Optic Network distribution in order to enhance internet connection coverage. The objectives included: examining the existing internet connection devices; mapping the internet connection coverage area of the existing UTP technology; and propose suitable routes for fibre optic distribution to enhance the total coverage of the study area. The method included planning the Fibre optic network using specialized remote sensing and GIS systems to prepare the required geospatial data of the study area. The established application performed all required pre-processing of the geographic data to prepare the essential information for mapping the Fibre Optic distribution and the proper route for Fibre optic cables, in the coverage area. The results revealed the complete coverage of the proposed Fibre optic deployments in the study area and recommended the immediate execution of strategies to implement the proposed project in order to improve internet connection in the Centre.
