Render Networks, a leader in network construction management
technology, today announced that Ascension Infrastructure Group, a
subsidiary of Amperage Capital, has selected Render as its
construction platform partner as part of a goal to accelerate fiber
broadband expansion and play a critical role as the industry looks
to connect more homes to fiber over the next five years than have
ever been connected before.
Ascension is a premier infrastructure development program
management group serving customers across the U.S. with various
planned network builds. Through a continuous pursuit of innovation,
Ascension pushes the boundaries of what is possible while focusing

deployments. Aiming to empower the broadband sector to achieve new
heights and deliver value to partners, customers, and communities,
Ascension is committed to revolutionizing broadband infrastructure
and offering innovative solutions that address critical challenges
for broadband service providers.
Render delivers an automated and efficient construction
management platform that is proven to drive better decisions and
enable teams to build at least 15% faster. With the Render platform
in place, Ascension and its customers will have access to real-time
data and predictive analytics to enable accurate forecasting and
efficient management of construction teams. Through Render
Insights, Ascension’s customers can access real-time visualizations
and intuitive dashboards enabled by Render’s automated
pre-construction blueprinting and construction task workflow.
Finally, Render’s integration infrastructure ensures that
‘best-of-breed’ construction data flows seamlessly and securely
across engineering and operations systems, supporting smooth
project transitions and compliance reporting.
“Ascension brings two critical capabilities to the table for
network owners: proven delivery expertise and access to
broadband-focused private capital,” said Sam Pratt, CEO at Render
Networks. “Their strong position, large-scale ambitions, and depth
of experience in network engineering and construction make them an
ideal partner for Render, and together, we have a unique
opportunity to maximize the speed, quality, and availability of
connectivity for hundreds of communities across North America.”
“Here at Ascension, our goal isn’t just to help our customers
build a network but to ensure that the operational network will
perform and be sustainable over the long term. We are able to do
this with the help of top execution partners, and we are excited to
add Render Networks to our partner team,” said Jon Owen, VP of
Systems, Standards & Architecture, Ascension. “Using Render’s
platform will give us efficiency, automation, and access to key
project and performance analytics with insights that will
dramatically improve construction management and decision-making.
These features will create a clear competitive differentiation in
the market, and we look forward to sharing its innovation platform
and systems widely.”
