The Network News: August 2025

The Network News is VETRO’s monthly roundup of resources, news, events and more.

Greetings from VETRO HQ! The Network News is VETRO’s roundup of resources, news, events and more. Let’s check out what’s new across the wide world of fiber!

Field operations are evolving, and so is VETRO. With new enhancements to VETRO Mobile, we’re giving operators faster, cleaner ways to connect the office and the field. Real-time sync keeps teams aligned, approvals move faster, and crews see only the work assigned to them. The result? Fewer truck rolls, quicker installs, and measurable cost savings.

If you’re attending Mountain Connect this week, stop by Booth S72 for a hands-on look at what’s new in VETRO Mobile.

This month’s newsletter includes:

Best,
Will Mitchell and the VETRO Team
