The Network News: September 2026

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!

Building the network is only part of the challenge. Keeping field work, network data, and operations connected as infrastructure grows is what turns a successful build into a network that can be managed efficiently for years to come.

This month, we’re sharing how operators are creating more connected workflows, maintaining accurate network records, and modernizing the systems that support the entire network lifecycle.

Inside you’ll find:

  • Case Study: See how Jo-Carroll Energy created a shared, accurate network record to support faster construction and smarter operations.
  • Company News: Learn why FirstLight Fiber selected VETRO as a strategic partner for next-generation infrastructure management.
  • Company Recognition: VETRO earns a spot on the Inc. 5000 for the fourth consecutive year.
  • Industry Insights: Explore how connected field workflows help operators improve data accuracy, reduce rework, and keep construction moving.
  • Whitepaper: Whitepaper: Explore how stronger technical due diligence can help buyers and sellers better understand network value and uncover integration risks.
  • Events: See where you can connect with the VETRO team next.

If improving the connection between construction, network data, and operations is a priority for your team, we’d love to show you how VETRO can help.

Best,
Will Mitchell and the VETRO Team
