Case Study: Bonfire Fiber accelerates rural broadband deployment with IQGeo

Bonfire Fiber cuts redesign time to a quarter with IQGeo

Bonfire Fiber, a rural fiber broadband provider in Colorado, faced significant challenges in connecting underserved communities, including the Southern Ute reservation. Physical barriers and permitting restrictions required them to pivot plans quickly, and their manual fiber planning and design processes were limiting their ability to scale operations efficiently. They sought a solution from vendor IQGeo to automate tasks and improve data utilization and collaboration.

Implementing IQGeo's solution, specifically the Comsof Fiber software acquired by IQGeo, transformed their operations. The software modernized their workflow, enabling efficient project visualizations and detailed cost insights. This allowed Bonfire Fiber to identify anchor locations faster and streamline the transition from design to fieldwork. As a result, broadband deployment was accelerated, and redesigns now take a quarter of the time compared to their previous manual workflow, revolutionizing their approach to rural connectivity.
