Ascension Infrastructure Group partners with Render Networks

Oct. 11, 2024
Ascension plans to accelerate broadband network deployments using Render’s construction management platform.

On October 11, Ascension Infrastructure Group announced that it has selected fiber network deployment solution provider Render Networks as its construction platform partner.

Ascension plans to accelerate fiber broadband expansion and reports having various planned network builds across the U.S.

Jon Owen, vice president of Systems, Standards, & Architecture at Ascension, said the features of the Render platform will give Ascension a competitive differentiation in the market by improving construction management and decision-making.

“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,” said Owen in a press release. “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.”

Render reports that its platform can enable teams to build at least 15% faster and provides users with real-time data and predictive analytics.

Render Networks CEO Sam Pratt said Ascension’s experience, ambition, and strong position make it an ideal partner for Render.

“Ascension brings two critical capabilities to the table for network owners: proven delivery expertise and access to broadband-focused private capital,” said Pratt in the same press release.

Render Networks also recently partnered with Archtop Fiber, which is using Render solutions to facilitate broadband infrastructure development in markets in the Northeast U.S. region.
