NetPMD and Parker Communications Partner to Accelerate Scalable Fiber Network Deployments 

Collaboration enhances design, engineering, and integration capabilities to support growing demand for high-speed connectivity across the U.S. 

 

Wilmington, DE – April 2nd, 2026  

NetPMD, a provider of network design, engineering, and integration services, has been supporting Parker Communications with their fiber deployments for several years across the Texas and Arizona markets and continue to expand their partnership to support the rapid expansion of fiber network deployments across the United States. 

As demand for high-speed connectivity continues to accelerate and driven by FTTH expansion, middle-mile infrastructure, and key broadband initiatives. Parker Communications has engaged NetPMD to enhance its engineering scale, streamline deployment processes, and support increasingly complex network environments. 

Through this partnership, NetPMD delivers design engineering services with GIS-based planning, high-level and low-level designs including permits, construction packs, bill of materials and compliance, as well as active integration support across Parker Communications’ fiber projects. The collaboration enables a more seamless connection between design/engineering and construction, reducing delays, and improving overall project execution. 

 

Driving Efficiency and Scalability  

The following bespoke collaborative deliverables help improve business case models for both parties: 

  • Constructable Design – Collaboration on Engineering to create designs that are more practical to build in field. This has proved to reduce re-work and create less As-built changes.  
  • Assessment Design – Street center line design to decide on new areas to build, which areas are more or less expensive, etc.  
  • Front Lot Line Assessment – Identifying homes with a certain front-line distance to ascertain what areas to build more economically for the ISPs and operators. 

 

By aligning design, engineering, and field execution, NetPMD and Parker Communications are helping to: 

  • – Meeting expectations on network architecture and design ruleset  
  • – Reduce project rework and operational friction 
  • – Improve design-to-construction alignment making a design constructable. 
  • – Support multi-market and large-scale builds 
  • – Enhance overall quality and consistency of deliverables 

 

Leadership Commentary 

“Our partnership with Parker Communications demonstrates how both business have come together to streamline how design engineering and field execution can significantly accelerate fiber deployments,” said Mike Mason, Chairman of NetPMD. “Together, we’re enabling faster, more efficient builds while exceeding the high standards customers expect.” 

“NetPMD has become a valuable extension of our team,” said Nate Chessher, Chief Operating Officer, Parker Communications, LLC. “NetPMD has evaluated our designs to ensure adherence to fiber architecture and built rule set to comply prior to moving forward with engineering & build” 

 

Positioned for Future Growth 

The partnership positions both companies to continue to accelerate new projects at scale for: 

  • – FTTH and FTTx deployments 
  • – Advanced network integration services 

Together, NetPMD and Parker Communications are delivering a comprehensive, end-to-end approach to fiber network deployment, combining engineering expertise, operational efficiency, and scalable execution.
