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.

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
