Render Networks Unveils New Capabilities to Accelerate Work Closeout and Invoicing for Broadband Construction

By: via Business Wire

Expanding upon field-first leadership, Render Networks delivers new mobile tools to help improve field execution for backhaul, middle-mile and rural fiber deployments

Render Networks, a leader in digitalizing network construction management, today has introduced enhanced mobile capabilities designed to improve field execution across a wide variety of broadband projects, including rural builds, middle-mile, and backhaul deployments.

These field-first enhancements enable construction crews to adapt to field changes and variability in real-time while maintaining accurate records and visibility across the entire network build. As backhaul projects, including fiber to data centers, drive massive demand, and middle-mile deployments reach remote areas, crews need flexible, intelligent tools that can handle unpredictable conditions and deliver consistent, high-quality results.

“One of the core tenets of ADB’s digital transformation is listening to the voice of our field teams and adapting our systems to meet their needs,” said David Sharp, VP of National Standards at ADB Companies. “Render Networks’ latest mobile release reflects that same customer-centric mindset. These new capabilities allow our crews to accurately capture work as it’s completed, accelerating closeout and invoicing while improving the accuracy of our as-built network. For middle-mile projects, this flexibility is critical to documenting partial completions across long fiber spans.”

To support this need for flexibility and precision, Render Networks has introduced two key mobile capabilities that give crews greater control and accuracy in the field. First, to manage the inevitable real-world conditions that drive changes from proposed deployment plans, crews can now easily break down long linear tasks, such as trenching or conduit installation, into smaller segments on the fly. This allows them to capture partial completions, accommodate required splicing, and align billing and QA processes with real-time progress.

In addition, offline performance has been enhanced. Field teams working in low-connectivity areas can now access and sync not only assigned tasks but also underlying design data, enabling more informed decision-making when plans shift and ensuring a seamless mobile experience as crews move between project areas.

“Our customers are delivering the digital backbone for the AI era. Building infrastructure at the required speed and scale demands real-time adaptability without compromising quality,” said Stephen Rose, CEO at Render Networks. “With this new mobile functionality, our customers can better manage complexity and adapt to unforeseen challenges while keeping costs under control.”

Together, these improvements strengthen Render Networks’ ability to support operators and builders delivering large-scale backhaul and data center infrastructure. By improving how work is tracked and executed in the field, Render Networks continues to deliver on its promise of intelligent, high-velocity network deployment.

Render Networks will showcase these mobile enhancements at the ISE Expo, Booth #1628, July 29-31 in New Orleans. Don’t miss Rob Laudati, SVP of Product, speaking on “How AI & Digital Innovation Will Reshape Network Construction” on Tuesday, July 29.

About Render Networks

Founded in 2013 with a mission to build and connect communities faster, Render Networks has a successful history of streamlining large-scale network construction for network operators and construction teams. By automating manual tasks and optimizing the productivity of every resource, Render Networks’ digital construction management platform eliminates process inefficiency, achieving real-time progress transparency and building networks >15% faster.
