Fierce Network Honors D8Acapture as Innovation Awards Finalist

CHARLOTTE, N.C. December 12, 2025 – We are proud to share that D8Acapture has been named a Finalist in the 2025 Fierce Network Innovation Awards, recognized in the Analytics/Automation category. This prestigious acknowledgment by Fierce Network celebrates the most visionary solutions shaping the future of connectivity and digital transformation. Fierce Network is a leading voice in wireless, wireline, and cloud infrastructure innovation.

We congratulate Spectrum Effect on earning top honors in the Analytics/Automation category. Being named a finalist alongside such respected innovators reflects the strength of this year’s competition and reinforces D8Acapture’s position among forward-thinking infrastructure technology solutions.

Redefining Field Data Capture

D8Acapture is changing how telecom and utility teams collect aerial infrastructure data. As a mobile-first solution built for speed, accuracy, and efficiency, it enables single-technician surveys using only an iOS device. This eliminates the need for LiDAR, calibration, or bulky hardware.

By removing complexity from deployment and daily field workflows, D8Acapture simplifies data collection, minimizes training time, and enables technicians to work efficiently in any field environment.

  • iOS based application with no special equipment required
  • 20-minute onboarding from setup to field deployment
  • Single technician workflows designed for rapid productivity
  • Offline capture with automatic syncing
  • Permit ready, accurate data for audits and operational workflows
 

By streamlining data collection and reducing field complexity, D8Acapture helps organizations accelerate permitting, minimize revisits, and lower project costs while maintaining the accuracy required for infrastructure planning and compliance.

Teams using D8Acapture have increased field productivity from approximately 40 poles per day to as many as 180 poles per day per two-technician crew. Customers also report up to a 50 percent reduction in field time, fewer revisits, and faster permit readiness. 

Survey Smarter, Faster — that’s the D8Acapture promise.

An Award that Validates Our Vision

The Fierce Network Innovation Awards spotlight solutions that embody next generation thinking, industry impact, and a truly competitive spirit.
