The checks are clearing and the press releases are out. The funding race is technically “won”. But ask any broadband operator what they are feeling right now, and it isn’t relief, but pressure.
Securing capital was the hurdle for 2025. The hurdle for 2026 is execution capacity. We are staring down the barrel of the most intense build cycle in history. The deadlines are fixed and the expectations are high. And the engineering talent pool? It’s shallower than ever.
So, if you are looking at your deployment targets and wondering how your team will hit them without burning out, you need to join us on Thursday, March 19. We are partnering with the Fiber Broadband Association to tackle the operational hurdles facing operators right now.
The “Old Way” Won’t Scale
We see it happening already. Projects are stalling not because of a lack of funds, but because of a lack of flow:
- Design is too slow. Manual processes can’t keep up with the sheer mileage required.
- Data is messy. Fragmented inventory makes NTIA reporting a nightmare.
- Compliance is heavy. If you can’t prove what you built, you have a problem.
The bottleneck isn’t money, but the process.
A Better Way to Build
To meet the 2026–2027 build intensity, the approach has to shift. This isn’t just about working faster. t’s about having a “single source of truth” that lets you design, build, and report without burning out your engineering team.
It’s time to move from manual drafting to Automated Fiber Design.
It’s time to move from scattered records to Integrated Network Inventory.
We are partnering with the Fiber Broadband Association to dig into this exact problem.
We’ll be looking at the specific operational bottlenecks slowing down BEAD projects right now, and how to fix them.

What we’ll cover:
- The 4 Major Bottlenecks
What is actually slowing down deployment (and how to spot it). - The Compliance Fix
Why automation + inventory is the only scalable way to handle NTIA reporting. - Live Workflow
We’re skipping the slides to show you a live demo of Globema’s FDE and NetStork tools in a real-world BEAD context.
Meet our speakers!
Speed is now the defining metric of success, so make sure your organization has the tools to keep up!
