Broadband Mapping
Creating accurate broadband maps is one of the first steps to promoting access, adoption, and use of broadband across the state. Better data translates into bigger dollars for your broadband needs.
Leverage our broadband data collection, mapping, engineering, analyses, field validation, and visualization expertise to more accurately and precisely plan broadband expansion in your jurisdiction.
What We Do For You
01
To States & Local Communities:
Being able to accurately and more granularly map broadband service areas empowers states and local communities to be able to make better data-driven decisions that positively impact their constituents.
We believe that everyone belongs in a Connected Nation, so we have developed location intelligence solutions that result in higher broadband data quality than what is currently available on the national scale.
At CN, we put data to work for your state/community to more accurately assess where you are and the appropriate solutions to help you meet your goals for connecting citizens, governments, and anchor institutions.
02
To Broadband Providers:
Being able to map your broadband service areas is only the beginning. CN provides broadband data processing, location intelligence, and analysis to better understand the current broadband landscape and make more informed planning and expansion decisions.
We believe everyone belongs in a Connected Nation, and we can provide the solutions to help optimize your operations to connect more residents.
03
To Consumers & Citizens:
We believe that everyone belongs in a Connected Nation. It shouldn’t matter whether you live in an urban or rural area, work from an office, from home, or on the road. At CN, we work to develop relationships with internet service providers (ISPs) to determine where people are served and unserved by various technologies and speeds. In addition to the mapping of these coverage areas, we need your help to ensure that the maps are as accurate as they can be. If you see a discrepancy on our maps, please let us know!
We can only help fix what we are aware of, especially if you are in the Digital Divide and do not have access to any broadband service. If you are in an unserved or underserved area, tell your neighbors to let us know as well! The more demand we can show in an area, the bigger difference we can help make.
About the FCC
The FCC is in the process of modernizing all of its universal service funding programs to support broadband access, adoption, and use. Connected Nation regularly compiles and publishes maps and data related to major developments in these FCC programs, including the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF), Connect America Fund, the Mobility Fund, and the Rural Broadband Experiments.
The broadband deployment and adoption patterns of households, businesses, and community anchor institutions vary substantially. As a result, overcoming the nation’s challenges in increasing broadband availability and utilization will require detailed and granular data collection and analysis, of both supply and demand conditions. We believe everyone belongs in a Connected Nation. That means understanding both the positive and negative impacts of having or not having broadband. Learn what research and analysis are showing us in a myriad of arenas from schools to businesses.
