DENVER---Render Networks, a leader in network construction management technology, today announced that Douglas Fast Net (DFN), a 100% local fiber internet service provider, has selected Render’s construction management platform to enhance operational efficiency and drive fiber broadband expansion throughout Southern Oregon. This collaboration marks a pivotal step in DFN’s mission to deliver high-speed, reliable connectivity to underserved communities across the region.

Addressing the Challenges of Scaling Fiber Networks

DFN has built a strong reputation for providing residential, business, and government customers with dependable, high-performance internet services. With a growing demand for fiber connectivity in both rural and urban areas, the need for streamlined construction management has become more critical than ever. DFN, as a small but dedicated provider, faces challenges in scaling its operations while ensuring quality and efficiency in network expansion.

Render Networks’ digital platform will equip DFN with the necessary tools to overcome these challenges. Through real-time digital mapping, optimized productivity tracking, and efficient work breakdown structures, Render’s technology will empower DFN to scale its fiber network more effectively and manage an increasing number of construction crews with ease.

“As we continue to grow, ensuring the accuracy of our construction operations and scalability of our processes is critical,” said Todd Way, CEO of DFN. “Render’s platform stood out for its ease of use, seamless implementation, and its proven ability to support organizations like ours in scaling operations efficiently. Render will allow us to deliver reliable fiber connectivity to even more communities across Southern Oregon.”

A Digital-First Approach to Fiber Deployment

Traditional network construction processes often rely on paper-based workflows and outdated management techniques, leading to inefficiencies and delays. By transitioning to Render’s digital construction management platform, DFN will gain instant visibility into project progress and collect real-time as-built data from the field. This transformation will enable DFN to optimize workflows, reduce manual inefficiencies, and accelerate the deployment of its fiber network.

“At Render, we’re committed to helping network operators like DFN overcome the unique challenges of scaling broadband connectivity to rural areas,“ said Don Wadas, Chief Revenue Officer of Render Networks. “DFN’s vision for delivering 100% local, reliable fiber internet is exactly the kind of transformative mission our platform is built to support. By modernizing their construction management process, DFN will be able to expand faster and more efficiently, providing critical broadband access to more communities.”

The Role of Blueprinting in Fiber Deployment

One of the key differentiators that influenced DFN’s decision to partner with Render is the platform’s advanced Blueprinting capabilities. This feature automates manual construction processes by transforming network designs into digitally scoped work, allowing construction crews to access clear, actionable, and “ready-to-work” task assignments. The automation provided by Blueprinting significantly reduces project timelines and improves the accuracy of field operations, making it an essential tool for DFN’s continued network expansion.

Render’s technology has been proven to enhance efficiency and visibility in large-scale network construction projects. By leveraging this innovative solution, DFN aims to deliver faster broadband deployment and higher service quality, ensuring that more communities in Southern Oregon can access high-speed internet.

Advancing Connectivity in Southern Oregon

Southern Oregon has long faced connectivity challenges, with many rural and underserved communities lacking reliable internet access. DFN’s commitment to bridging this digital divide is at the heart of its network expansion efforts. By integrating Render’s digital-first approach, DFN is poised to deliver high-quality broadband to more homes and businesses, fostering economic growth, education, and community development.

The partnership between DFN and Render Networks represents a strategic investment in the future of broadband infrastructure. Through the adoption of digital tools and automation, DFN can maintain its leadership in fiber deployment while optimizing resource allocation and workforce management.
