ikeGPS announced the release of IKE PoleForeman structural analysis software. The software builds on PoleForeman's twenty-two-year-old reputation for allowing users to conduct defendable pole load analysis that complies with or exceeds National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) standards for overhead pole line design. Invented by IKE's Senior VP of Structural Analysis Malcolm Young in the early 2000s, PoleForeman has become one of the most widely used structural analysis software programs for designing and maintaining overhead power distribution pole lines.

It is trusted by many of the communications companies and seven of the ten investor-owned electric utilities in the US. IKE PoleForeman adds multiple-pole analysis, enhanced 3D graphics, 2023 NESC, a secure modern code base, a self-administered database admin portal, and other exciting features and enhancements. The software's release comes as the grid modernizes and the industry seeks to optimize investments in pole assets while complying with the 2023 NESC, ensuring the levels of safety to protect workers, facilities, and the public during the installation, operation, and maintenance of communication and supply infrastructure.
