On the same wavelength - Zonedge Newsletter - Winter 2026
Let's wish each other a happy new year!
Okay, we know it's January and everyone has already exchanged greetings a couple of times, but we wanted to take the time to wish you a 2026 filled with strong connections (and we're not just talking about fiber optics!).
Since this is our second official newsletter, we'll try to keep it a little shorter than the first one - we promise! But we still have a ton of great things to tell you about. So, grab your hot chocolate, settle in, and let us give you a quick recap of our year in 2025 and a sneak peek at what's to come!
2025 in numbers: A busy year!
Last year was a busy one! Here's our little list of achievements for those who love statistics (we know there are quite a few of you in the gang!):
📝 The blog that runs on fuel
46 articles published this year! Yes, you read that right. Almost one per week! We compared network management to everything that came to mind: from rowing to the Three Musketeers, to hockey strategies. Our goal? To help you understand the challenges of fiber optics without putting you to sleep. Mission accomplished, we hope!
🎙️ Our podcast that chats
18 episodes for our first season! Candid and direct discussions about the wonderful (and sometimes bizarre) world of network management. It's more entertaining than the weather forecast, we promise!
📊 "At a glance" presentations
10 video presentations created to help you explain Zonedge to your boss, colleagues, or even your brother-in-law who doesn't understand what you do for a living. Simple, clear, effective - just the way we like it!
📱 Social media on fire
1,000+ posts this year across all platforms!LinkedIn,Facebook,Instagram,TikTok (40 TikToks about fiber optics, don't judge us!),YouTube,X,Threads... If you're not following us yet, what are you waiting for?
📚 The growing knowledge base
With the launch of Zonedge 7.6, we have added over 50 new articles and updated 200 existing articles. It's like an encyclopedia of fiber, but less boring!
🎬 Quick capsules
30 new training capsules lasting 1 to 2 minutes max! Because sometimes you just need a quick answer between calls. Short, sweet, and straight to the point.

What 2026 has in store for you (without making empty promises!)
Okay, we'll be honest with you: we're not the type to make you believe in miracles. Promises of features that are coming "next month" and never show up? That's not our style.
But what we can share with you are our main priorities for the coming year:
Our guiding principles for 2026:
Refinement of the entire system (we refine, we polish, we make it shine!)
Improved experience (because your time is valuable)
Performance improvement (faster, smoother, more efficient)
What we are working hard on:
📖 Even more educational content We're preparing new material to help you become true Zonedge pros. Guides, tutorials, tips and tricks - everything you need to get the most out of your environment.
🔄 A unified experience Imagine switching from GIS to Web to Field as if you were simply changing rooms in your house - everything is familiar, everything is in the right place, and you know exactly where everything is. That's exactly what we're creating: a single Zonedge experience, no matter which application you're using!
🚀 Upcoming updates:
Zonedge GIS Version 7.7 (we can't wait to show you!)
New Zonedge Web interface (more attractive, more intuitive)
New Zonedge Terrain interface (designed for your frozen fingers in winter!)
Several new features (we're keeping some of it a mystery!)
📋 Your opinion matters: The 2026 survey is coming soon!
Get ready, our famous annual survey is coming soon!
This isn't just a survey to make our annual report look good. No, no! Your answers DIRECTLY influence what we develop. Last year, several of the new features came from your suggestions.
At Zonedge, we're connected in the field (pun intended!), and that's thanks to you. So when the survey comes out, take five minutes to tell us what would really get you excited. This is your chance to influence our priorities for 2026!
❄️ A few final words
Winter isn't always easy. Storms, ice, temperatures of -30°C remind us that we're tough... But you know what? It's at times like these that we appreciate having reliable tools that make our lives easier.
Speaking of reliability, we wanted to thank you for yours. Your trust, your constructive comments, your patience when we test new things - all of that is incredibly valuable to us.
2026 is our year to refine, polish, and perfect. No revolution, but constant evolution to make Zonedge even more indispensable in your daily life.
Keep writing to us, challenging us, sharing your crazy ideas with us. That's how we move forward together!
On that note, here's to a great start to 2026! May your networks be stable, your connections fast, and your alarms silent!
The Zonedge team looking forward to spring 🌱
