The Network News: July 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!

Coming back from Fiber Connect 2025, one theme stood out loud and clear: the future of fiber depends on operational clarity, strategic patience, and the right tools to scale. At VETRO, we’re proud to have the platform that enables all three.

At the show, we heard from dozens of operators navigating the challenges of growth, disconnected systems, slow field workflows, unreliable address data, and costly service delays. These aren’t just pain points, they’re blockers to your success. That’s why VETRO is purpose-built to simplify every step of your network lifecycle.

This month’s newsletter is packed with insights, updates, and tools to help you overcome those challenges and move your network forward:

  • Case Study: Aspire’s Ascent: How Strategic Network Design Fueled Their Broadband Ambition

  • Leadership News: VETRO Welcomes Leadership Expert, Operating Partner, and Bestselling Author Kimberly Powell to Its Board of Directors

  • Blog: The Cloud-Based Network SoR: A Telecom Operator’s Guide to Digital Transformation

  • Post-Show Recap: Fiber Connect 2025

  • Blog: Untangling Complexity: A Smarter Way to Splice

  • Events: A look at upcoming events

At the heart of every conversation at Fiber Connect was this: the most successful providers are the ones replacing legacy tools with connected systems that work in real time. That’s what VETRO delivers.

Let’s connect. We’d love to show you how a unified, fiber-intelligent platform can eliminate delays, reduce errors, and drive growth.

Best,

Will Mitchell and the VETRO Team
