About the BroadbandFabric StatePlan

In the broadband industry, many are facing the challenge of acquiring granular and accurate broadband data to inform their broadband deployment efforts. Which is why using CostQuest’s core Broadband Serviceable Location data, we created the BroadbandFabric StatePlan data set to provide complete and precise broadband data for intelligent policy-making and broadband program management. This data is built specifically for state broadband initiatives, complete with coordinates of the latest Broadband Serviceable Locations and layered with insightful data attributes on top, such as service availability, cost to serve, competition, demographics, and MORE to drive effective and intelligent decision-making.

With StatePlan data in your broadband maps, assessing broadband needs across your state has never been so easy.

STRONG FOUNDATION OF GRANULAR STRUCTURE LEVEL BROADBAND LOCATION DATA

The BroadbandFabric StatePlan data set contains a core base of Broadband Serviceable Locations (the coordinates of all structures where a broadband connection can be installed) and provides the level of granularity needed to identify locations that have or need broadband service. This data allows users to better understand the exact geographic placement of serviceable locations, and the number of potential customers.

Reliable broadband information for effective decisions & successful planning

To make intelligent and efficient network decisions you need reliable information that guides you in the right direction. In each BroadbandFabric data set, every location comes with critical information such as Service/Technology Availability, Engineering and Construction, Costs and Economics, and Demand and Demographic data. With these insights, users are equipped with all the information needed to make broadband network and business decisions with confidence.

Built by data science & broadband experts, trusted by the federal government & more

Congress, federal agencies, service providers, and other organizations in the telecom industry, have relied on CostQuest’s models and expertise to inform critical broadband initiatives and reform policies related to broadband deployment and data collection. CostQuest’s financial models are used by the FCC to distribute $3B annually to serve high-cost areas, and granular geospatial data to create the FCC’s Fabric to support the Broadband Data Collection, National Broadband Map, and broadband funding programs. CostQuest’s work is reviewed regularly and withstands the highest levels of scrutiny from government agencies down to service providers, supporting organizations, and consumers to ensure the work is done right and foundationally sound.

What can I use BroadbandFabric StatePlan data for?

Government

StatePlan data enables State Broadband Program Offices to effectively manage their programs with transparency, accountability, scalability, efficiency, and impact. This data can import into applications or tools such as the VETRO Broadband Intelligence Platform™ or other GIS applications to power effective decision-making in your broadband program. Use this data for funding program management, build plan tracking, Digital Divide tracking, and program analytics and design.

StatePlan data provides the precise geographic coordinates of all locations where a broadband connection can be installed that imports directly into a state broadband map. With StatePlan data in your broadband map, you can see the current broadband technology available across the state and identify locations that need broadband access. This data provides you with an precise foundation of the broadband needs across your state to help you inform your broadband deployment strategies. The StatePlan dataset can be imported into broadband mapping applications and other analytics mapping applications.

Government

The StatePlan data can help you create an estimated cost to deploy broadband services or define eligible areas for funding throughout your state. This dataset includes precise coordinate-level locations, demographics, funding eligibility, cost investment, and more to identify unique opportunities. Use this data to identify unserved and underserved areas, size the funding program, cluster funding locations, define funding geography, set funding reserves, and establish funding rules.

The StatePlan dataset includes Cost Model data overlaid on Broadband Serviceable Locations to give you a granular view of the upfront investment needed to service each Broadband Serviceable Location with your choice between Fiber or Fixed wireless services or both. This Cost Model data includes an estimate of initial investment plus the success-based capital to connect active customers. We base the Cost Model data on a designed network from CostQuest’s CostPro (autodesign) model that creates an efficient build-out using the latest technology and cost assumptions to ensure service deployment to the premise. Use this cost data to assess feasibility and opportunities which can support grant applications and investor reporting, and more – no more guess work while building your models. As an additional add-on, we can provide a full Business Case of the complete network, including the cost to maintain the business over time, the routes for a fiber network, and an estimate of demand and revenue. We also provide you with the Net Present Value of the entire network business.

The StatePlan data provides you with coordinates of all Broadband Serviceable locations throughout your state. Overlaying awarded areas with this data will allow for precise field verification or remote visual verification using satellite and street-side imagery. You can also leverage this data for build plan tracking.

Get broadband-specific data

The BroadbandFabric Data Suites were developed by broadband experts and data scientists with deep roots in broadband economic network modeling and mapping. Each Broadband Serviceable Location we identify is a residential or business structure where a broadband connection can be installed. Our Broadband Serviceable Locations and rich data layers are NOT for insurance or real estate projects. The BroadbandFabric Data Suites were designed to support broadband initiatives.
