Render Networks, a leader in network construction management technology, today announced that Visionary Broadband has selected Render’s platform to improve operational efficiency and accelerate fiber network deployment across rural Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. Serving over 30,000 subscribers — including residential, enterprise, and government agency customers — Visionary Broadband plays a critical role in bridging the digital divide in some of the country's most remote communities.

Visionary Broadband faces unique challenges deploying networks in regions with harsh weather, limited skilled labor, and vast rural terrain. To address these hurdles, the company chose Render’s construction management platform, which enables teams to build at least 15% faster by automating construction workflows, providing real-time data, and instant communication between the office and field crews. This comprehensive approach not only optimizes field productivity but also ensures accurate compliance reporting.

“Using Render allows us to efficiently manage network construction while meeting the high standards expected by our customers and the communities we build in,” said Preston Schilling, COO of Visionary Broadband. “The platform’s ease of use, real-time insights, and streamlined communication give us a single source of truth throughout the build process and provides the tools we need to overcome the challenges of serving remote regions. With Render, we’re building resilient, sustainable networks that will serve our communities for years to come.”

Render’s platform provides Visionary Broadband with automated workflows, intuitive field applications, and business insights to ensure faster build times, reduced costs, and more efficient use of government grants. The platform also enables Visionary to manage contractor performance, monitor progress, and ensure compliance with grant reporting requirements - all critical for serving government customers and expanding connectivity.

“Visionary’s commitment to delivering high-performance connectivity to rural areas aligns perfectly with Render’s mission to transform how networks are built,” said Sam Pratt, Chief Executive Officer at Render Networks. “By leveraging our platform, Visionary can deploy networks faster and with greater efficiency, ensuring that even the most remote communities gain access to reliable broadband.”
