Working on broadband initiatives but need reliable data to guide the way? With 20+ years of broadband experience and planning, CostQuest understands the challenges faced with limited access to accurate data to inform critical broadband decisions. This is why using CostQuest’s core Broadband Serviceable Location data tied directly to federal broadband initiatives, CostQuest developed the BroadbandFabric Data Suites, which are various geospatial data sets that come with MORE data attributes on top of the CostQuest’s base Broadband Serviceable Location data, for users to choose from based on their data needs. All of these data sets are designed and optimized with rich data attributes to support service providers, government entities, engineers, and other organizations alike, in effectively guiding broadband deployment, business planning, and policy decisions.
Each BroadbandFabric Data Suite comes complete with Broadband Serviceable Location data at the coordinate level and tied with informative data attributes such as broadband service (technology) availability, addresses, funding eligibility, cost to serve, demographics, and MORE to support teams throughout the lifecycle of their broadband initiatives. Especially for pivotal decisions when planning for broadband funding programs such as the IIJA Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program.
CostQuest’s BroadbandFabric Data Suites
CostQuest’s BroadbandFabric data – built by broadband experts and blended with machine learning – is the perfect solution for the various challenges broadband decision-makers face. Each BroadbandFabric data set is optimized for location precision and can be embedded into a visualization software, such as a mapping application, to directly support functions such as broadband planning, network design, government affairs, and operations. With this data you can assess market opportunities, build a broadband map, submit funding bids, plan, design, and report on network projects, with data made to inform these initiatives intelligently.

After 20+ years of broadband experience and planning, we understand the challenges faced with limited access to accurate and granular data. Until now, broadband data to solve geographical accuracy and location count issues didn’t exist. Which led us to utilize our broadband expertise to build the BroadbandFabric Data Suites. These Data Suites were created with a simple aim – to deliver the most broadband-specific, precise, and simple data solutions to support various broadband design, deployment, and reporting challenges due to lack of reliable data.
With the BroadbandFabric data, you can build a broadband availability map, assess market opportunities, plan, design, report on network projects, and more with data made specifically to inform these broadband initiatives intelligently.
How CostQuest identifies Broadband Serviceable Locations
Broadband Serviceable Locations are residential or business locations where fixed broadband internet access service is, or can be installed. To identify these structures, see the process pictured below.
