What We Do

VETRO builds software that makes it radically simpler and faster for broadband providers to plan, design, build, and operate their fiber optic networks. Our map-based SaaS platform is easier to use and more powerful than traditional tools, and enables network owners, operators and sponsors to benefit from a modern, integrated, and connected digital hub for their physical network assets.

Launched in 2017, VETRO is experiencing rapid adoption worldwide as we scale to meet an eager connectivity market. ISPs, Electric Co-ops, Local Governments and many others who are deploying and managing fiber now rely on VETRO FiberMap as their system of record for network documentation and asset management, as well as a collaboration and integration platform.

Leveraging the platform combined with our top notch onboarding and support team, our customers need to hire fewer specialty technical staff, and routinely report reduced overhead and dramatic increases in productivity.


Our goal is to provide the world's best mapping platform for internet/broadband infrastructure planning, design, construction and operations. And in doing so to deliver a platform that becomes the digital home for the physical internet.

We are Headquartered in Portland, Maine and take pride in our Maine HQ and foundation underpinning a distributed team across the U.S.
