Modernizing Fielding Workflows for Broadband Deployment: Now is the Time

Modernizing Fielding Workflows for Broadband Deployment: Now Is the Time
Fiber deployment is expanding faster than ever, but productivity across the construction industry hasn’t kept pace. Rising costs, slow permitting cycles, and manual field verification are creating a growing drag on schedules, capital, and confidence.
In this article, co-authored by Zack Raboin, Chief Technology Officer at D8Averse, and Rob Laudati, Chief Product & Partnership Officer at Render Networks, we explore how automating field validation creates a measurable leap in accuracy, predictability, and return on investment.
What You’ll Learn:
- The permitting and field validation bottlenecks limiting deployment speed today
- How automation transforms pole validation into a scalable, repeatable process
- The financial impact of digitized field workflows, from cost per pole to cycle time
- Why accuracy and predictability at the front end are critical to building networks right the first time

Rewiring the Model: How Utilities Are Accelerating Broadband Access
Jeff Reiman, President of The Broadband Group, discusses how utility-driven broadband models are changing the economics of fiber deployment and why better data and visibility are key to long-term success.
In this chat, we unpack:
-
How the utility lease model turns fiber from a cost center into a revenue-generating asset
-
Why public-private partnerships are unlocking access and economic opportunity
-
The critical role of data visibility, QA, and audit readiness in de-risking projects and attracting investment
