Developed in collaboration with BILT,
Clearfield ensures higher-quality field installations
Clearfield, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLFD), the leader in community
broadband fiber connectivity, today announced the availability of
3D interactive instructions for Clearfield® products
delivered via the BILT® mobile app that provides
installers an easy way to streamline the installation process
available at no extra charge. The animated guides were developed in
response to the Clearfield customer base, and will help reduce
installation errors, time, and field issues by ensuring fiber
technicians have access to the information they need right at their
fingertips.
“This training tool is exactly what the technicians are in need
of, something they can interact with to provide step-by-step
instruction, without the need to read a manual or watch YouTube
videos over a small device,” said KnightCom Fiber Solutions Project
Manager Caleb Gutting. “This is how the younger generation and new
hires can learn how to install Clearfield products correctly so
that we can move quickly from deployment to service
availability.”
Fiber technicians are expected to complete up to four
installations a day, a pace likely to increase as NTIA BEAD funds
begin to flow. The BILT app delivers detailed, visual guidance for
Clearfield products that enable installers to be more productive
and efficient. Customers can initially use the BILT app to install
Clearfield’s YOURx® and SeeChange®
terminals, Clearview® Cassettes, PON Cabinets, and
Home Deployment Kits with plans to ultimately integrate the
remaining product lines.
“Today’s workforce is more tech-savvy and digitally oriented, so
creating an install tool that aligns with the way they want to
learn and consume information makes perfect sense,” said
Clearfield’s Director of Technical Training and Support, Kelly
Weissmann. “We are excited to be the first telecommunication
equipment manufacturer to bring the BILT app to our market and
believe it will have an immediate impact on our customers’ ability
to improve installation time and quality.”
The availability of Clearfield instructions in the BILT app is
part of the company’s commitment to improve workforce development
practices and tools. As the industry works to increase the fiber
technician workforce, this 3D Interactive based tool makes it
easier to onboard and attract the newer generation of
technicians.
Both voice and text guidance for Clearfield products are
immediately available in English, Spanish, and German, with plans
to add other languages. Customers can download the BILT app
worldwide from the App Store or Google Play.
