ADB and Render Networks have been named the 2026 Network Technology Partner of the Year at the Broadband Communities Awards, presented August 26 during the Broadband Communities Summit in Houston. The award recognizes the strength of a partnership that brings technology, engineering, and field execution together to improve how complex networks are designed and built.
The award was presented August 26 during the Broadband Communities Summit in Houston, where industry leaders gathered to discuss the technologies and strategies shaping the future of broadband.
For ADB, the recognition represents more than an award. It reflects the evolution of a partnership built around a simple idea: when the right technology is connected to the people doing the work, complex infrastructure projects can be managed with greater visibility, accuracy and efficiency. Craig Schellenbach, who accepted the award on ADB's behalf, stated:
"This award is validation. Our teams believed pairing ADB's field execution with Render's platform would produce measurable results, and this award says the industry sees it too."
Bringing Technology and Field Execution Together
Building a broadband network involves countless moving pieces, from crews in the field to project teams managing schedules, designs and progress.
ADB's partnership with Render Networks helps connect those pieces. Render's cloud-based GIS and task management technology gives ADB real-time visibility into construction activity, allowing field teams to share updates while project teams track progress, manage milestones and address issues as they arise.
A Partnership Built for Complex Infrastructure
As network construction grows larger and more complex, connecting people, information and processes becomes increasingly important.
That's where the strengths of ADB and Render Networks come together to change what’s possible in complex network construction.
The goal isn't simply to add another tool to the process. It's about giving the people designing, managing and building infrastructure better information to make better decisions and deliver better results.
Recognition of the Partnership
The Broadband Communities award is the latest recognition of what ADB and Render Networks have built together.
Earlier this year, the Fiber Broadband Association also recognized the companies with a 2026 Constellation Award, highlighting the partnership's combination of ADB's turnkey infrastructure expertise and Render's geospatial construction management technology. The association noted measurable productivity gains across large-scale fiber deployments.
The continued recognition reflects a broader shift in infrastructure, where technology is becoming an integral part of how projects are planned, managed, executed and documented.
For ADB, that means continuing to look for ways to connect technology with the expertise of its teams in the field.
The Network Technology Partner of the Year award is a reflection of the collaboration, expertise and commitment that both teams bring to transforming how networks are built.
Congratulations to the ADB and Render Networks teams on this shared achievement.
