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!

Across the industry, legacy data and disconnected systems are creating friction for network teams. This month’s newsletter focuses on how operators are improving the accuracy, structure, and usability of their data to support modern network operations.

I’m also excited to share company news with the appointment of Brett Lindsey as President of VETRO. Brett brings decades of experience building and operating fiber networks, and his leadership sharpens our focus on helping operators move faster and operate with confidence.
