Program advisory, grant management, & compliance

Design competitive and formula-driven grant programs, run application intake and award management, and post-award administration, with compliance and reporting mechanisms that provide clear audit trails and reduce risk and ensure timely deployment.

Location-level cost modeling & scenario planning

Generate per-location cost-to-serve models for each technology type across the state, incorporating real-world serving areas, terrain, technology, operation costs, route scenarios, and more to model build feasibility and maximize coverage with allocated program funding.

Data analysis, mapping, & validation

A cleaned, categorized list of serviceable locations is the foundation for effective statewide broadband mapping funding distribution, management, and oversight. We classify locations granularly to give a detailed view of statewide broadband coverage for accurate funding distribution, program management, and compliance reporting.
