Home Telecom Boosts Fiber Deployment Efficiency with Render
July 09 2024 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Render Networks today announced Home Telecom, one of South
Carolina's largest independently owned telecom companies, has
chosen Render’s construction management platform to enhance
efficiency and accelerate the construction of planned fiber
infrastructure. By leveraging Render's platform, Home Telecom
expects to more than double the fiber miles constructed each year
with the same number of crews.
Home Telecom provides residential and business internet services
through a fiber-rich broadband network in Berkeley, Charleston, and
Dorchester counties in South Carolina. Their tenacity to take
advantage of all available funding opportunities has accelerated
Home Telecom’s fiber expansion efforts, especially in rural
communities where the cost to build fiber out is exceedingly high.
In addition to rural broadband expansion efforts, Charleston's
continuous growth and the development of new communities have
significantly increased the demand for high-performance
connectivity. With several projects being completed in tandem and
with fixed deadlines, Home Telecom sought to improve the efficiency
of the physical construction process.
After evaluating other construction management platforms, Home
Telecom selected Render for its proven track record of project
success and ability to build considerably faster than other market
solutions. Render's platform offers seamless automation for the
complex requirements of today’s network build and maintenance
projects, and real-time visibility and insights for all
stakeholders, ensuring enhanced coordination of work and
productivity across all field and office teams.
“Manual, paper-based construction processes cannot scale in
today’s marketplace,” said Bobby Armentrout, Senior Director of
Network Planning and Operations at Home Telecom. “We recognized
that the technology we offer to our customers cannot be the only
thing that evolves, and that is where Render is a game-changer.
Previously, we could install 150 miles of fiber per year. With
Render, we’ll scale to 500 miles per year without increasing staff.
This is a significant improvement of 233% in our productivity.”
Don Wadas, CRO of Render Networks, stated, “Network operators
and builders nationwide are constructing broadband infrastructure
that will connect and support communities for generations. Render
simplifies and speeds up this process by optimizing the allocation
of work and teams, making them more productive. We’re thrilled to
enable such efficiency for Home Telecom and other service providers
aiming to build smarter and connect customers faster.”
