Render Networks Integrates Trimble’s High-Accuracy GNSS to Deliver Real-time Location Data

By: via Business Wire

Field crews capture precise, verifiable as-built data that speeds construction today and strengthens long-term asset management.

Render Networks, the leader in digitalizing network construction management, announced today a new integration to Trimble® Mobile Manager (TMM), bringing Trimble’s high-precision GNSS capabilities to broadband and utility network deployments. This integration enables centimeter-level accuracy at the point of construction, minimizing delays and ensuring that as-built records are complete and verifiable from day one.

Telecom and utility builds demand precise asset location for compliance, maintenance, and future locates — from fiber and conduit to drops, handholes, splice points, poles, or valves. Traditional methods often require rework, field revisits, and manual reconciliation with GIS, slowing progress and straining budgets. The integration enables Render users to consume high-precision positions from Trimble receivers, including the Trimble DA2 with Trimble Catalyst and the Trimble R2, directly within Render Networks’ mobile app.

“With the increased fiber infrastructure demand due to the BEAD program award and timelines, capturing sub-centimeter location data the first time is essential,” said Craig Schellenbach, GIS Solutions Architect, at ADB Companies. “The ability to combine Trimble’s high accuracy solutions with Render’s automated construction workflows delivers survey-grade as-builts and close out documentation for our projects in real time, the first time.”

With Trimble high-precision GNSS now integrated, Render Networks’ customers can deliver fast, accurate, and verifiable as-builts as part of their normal workflows. This eliminates the need for site revisits, reduces rework, and streamlines project acceptance.

“Our customers are building critical infrastructure at massive scale, and high accuracy data is non-negotiable,” said Rob Laudati, Chief Product and Partner Officer, at Render Networks. “With this new integration, we’re giving crews the ability to capture as-builts with location accuracy in real time, accelerating closeout and ensuring data quality that supports compliance, operations, and asset management for decades to come.”

Render Networks will showcase the new Trimble integration at the SCTE TechExpo, Booth #882, September 29 – October 1 in Washington, D.C.
