What Biarri Networks Pty Ltd does

Biarri Networks Pty Ltd is an Australian-headquartered technology and engineering services company that automates fiber optic network planning and design through its FOND (Fiber Optical Network Design) Platform. The platform combines proprietary optimization algorithms, geospatial data, and machine-assisted design workflows with modules for automated planning (FOND Planner), stakeholder collaboration (FOND Collaboration), and investment-grade financial modeling (FOND Financial Modeler), backed by a pre-built geospatial database of approximately 35 million US/Canada street centerlines and 53 million addresses. Biarri generates construction-ready designs at scale, with reported metrics of up to 25x faster design delivery versus traditional methods and projects covering up to 30,000 homes through design, engineering, and permitting in under a year.

The company monetizes through a hybrid model: SaaS subscriptions to the FOND Platform paired with professional engineering services that span network planning, design, fielding, permitting, and utility planning. Customers include Tier 2 and Tier 3 service providers, community network operators, engineering firms, UK AltNets, and utility/power companies, with a sales-led enterprise go-to-market complemented by an engineering firm partner channel and a self-service SaaS tier. Biarri operates across Australia, the United States (via Biarri USA Inc.), Singapore, and the United Kingdom, and has signaled continued expansion through initiatives such as the Render Ready certification partnership (February 2026) and the Market Lens broadband market analytics capability. The company is privately held, founder- or independently operated per public sources, with no disclosed external funding rounds and leadership comprising CEO Paul Sulisz and President Tim Howard.

Core offering

Biarri Networks sells the FOND Platform, a cloud-based GIS software platform that automates fiber optic and FTTx network planning, design, collaboration, and financial modeling for telecom operators, ISPs, and engineering firms. The platform is paired with professional engineering services covering network planning, detailed design, fielding, permitting, and utility power distribution planning, delivered either directly or via engineering firm partners. Together, the software-plus-services offering produces construction-ready fiber network designs at scale for greenfield and brownfield deployments.

Product overview

Biarri Networks offers a unified FOND Platform for fiber network planning and design automation, comprising four integrated modules: FOND Platform (core system), FOND Planner (automated planning), FOND Collaboration (real-time stakeholder coordination), and FOND Financial Modeler (investment confidence). Complementing the software platform, Biarri provides professional services including Network Planning, Network Design, Fielding, Permitting, and Utility Planning, plus the FOND Knowledge Hub resource center. The company also offers a Market Lens capability for broadband market analysis. The FOND Platform serves as the central hub, with Planner, Collaboration, and Financial Modeler functioning as integrated modules within or alongside it, while professional services enable end-to-end design-to-build support.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Conexa: Fiber network planning SaaS targeting AltNets and ISPs with automated design. Emerging competitor in the same algorithmic fiber-design niche as Biarri's FOND Platform.
• CostQuest Associates: Broadband cost modeling and feasibility analytics vendor used by ISPs, regulators, and BEAD applicants. Adjacent competitor for the financial modeling and grant-application use cases Biarri addresses with FOND Financial Modeler.

Direct peers

• RMSI: Spatial and engineering services firm with a strong telecom/fiber practice; fellow Render Ready launch partner. Comparable as a large-scale fiber design services + software provider to ISPs and utilities.
• Render Networks: Fiber construction management platform (Render) that pairs with Biarri's FOND design outputs; now a strategic partner via the Render Ready program. Directly comparable as a vertically-integrated design-to-build automation vendor for fiber networks.
• IQGeo Group: Public geospatial network management software vendor serving telecom and utility operators. Competes with Biarri's geospatial planning, design, and collaboration capabilities at fiber and utility customers.
• Vetro FiberMap: GIS-based fiber network mapping and design SaaS serving ISPs and broadband providers. Closest direct competitor to FOND Planner/Collaboration in the fiber design software category.

Broad incumbents

• Esri: Dominant GIS platform vendor (ArcGIS) used by most network operators and engineering firms. A broad incumbent that competes with FOND in geospatial network design workflows, particularly where customers already standardize on ArcGIS.
• Autodesk: AutoCAD Map 3D and Civil 3D are widely used by engineering firms for network design workflows. Competes for design-tooling budget within Biarri's engineering-firm segment.
• Netcracker Technology: Telecom BSS/OSS and network planning vendor serving large operators. Competes broadly for design/planning budgets at Tier 1/2 service providers that Biarri also targets.
• Bentley Systems: Infrastructure engineering software platform (OpenUtilities, Fiber) used by utilities and engineering firms for network design. Overlaps with Biarri's utility planning and engineering-firm customer base.
