VETRO FiberMap is pleased to announce the availability of their Geospatial Wrecking Crew (GWC), an in-house concierge GIS services group handling mapping data conversion jobs for network design engineers and fiber management platform users.

VETRO FiberMap is proud to be included in Broadband Communities (BBC) Magazine’s list of the Top 100 FTTH companies for the third year in a row. BBC is a respected industry voice, and a convener of municipalities and other community broadband stakeholders striving to build a fiber connected world. We’re excited to continue to work alongside this organization and participate in their events. Their efforts are part of an overall groundswell of new broadband activity in communities, spurred by collaboration, new owner-operator models, and increased political support for broadband funding.

We’ve spent the past two years talking with you, learning from you, and working hard to design a perfect toolbox for you. We have been impressed with your ingenuity, your persistence, and your drive to get things built. No matter how small you are, you are finding ways to rebuild the internet where it is needed and where the big boys won’t invest - from small towns to rural areas, missed markets, and opportunity pockets. For older telephone companies and cable operators keeping things fresh – fibering up your long served local footprints has been fantastic.
