FIBER
Made for the buildout. Sized for BEAD.
FTTH operations, BEAD compliance, and subscriber billing in one platform.
Why fiber is harder than it should be
Fiber buildouts move fast. Most ISP software was not built to keep up.
BEAD deadlines.
Sub-grantee tracking, mapping, and 6-year reporting requirements show up the day funding clears.
Provisioning lag.
Manual overrides between IPAM, billing, and dispatch can turn what should be a same-day activation into a multi-day ticket.
Capabilities for fiber operators
More platform.
Fewer tools.
Sonar replaces the patchwork of provisioning, billing, dispatch, and reporting tools fiber operators stitch together. Pick a capability to see the flow.
Vendor-neutral provisioning, IPAM, and monitoring.
Sonar talks to Calix, Adtran, Cambium, and MikroTik out of the box. IPAM, monitoring, and provisioning live in one place so fiber subscribers activate without manual overrides.
- IPAM with subnet pool management and collision detection
- Multi-vendor provisioning templates
- Outage detection across fiber, FWA, and edge devices

Frequently asked
Common questions about fiber.
- Does Sonar handle BEAD compliance for fiber operators?
- Yes. Sonar supports address-level service mapping, sub-grantee tracking, and the six-year reporting BEAD requires, generated from the same operations data your team uses every day.
- Which fiber network vendors does Sonar support?
- Sonar talks to Calix, Adtran, Cambium, and MikroTik, with IPAM, monitoring, and provisioning in one place so fiber subscribers activate without manual overrides.
- Can Sonar bill fiber subscribers across tax jurisdictions?
- Yes. Recurring billing with proration and add-ons runs alongside a tax engine for US states and Canadian provinces, with embedded card and ACH payments via Sonar Billing.
- What reporting do fiber operators get?
- Pre-built reports plus a custom report builder cover MRR, churn cohorts, network health, and AR aging, with audit-ready exports for PE due diligence and BEAD reviews.
