About the BroadbandFabric StatePlan

In the broadband industry, many are facing the challenge of acquiring granular and reliable broadband data to effectively inform broadband deployment efforts. This is why using CostQuest’s core Broadband Serviceable Location data tied directly to federal initiatives, we created the BroadbandFabric StatePlan dataset 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 and addresses of the latest Broadband Serviceable Locations, and layered with insightful data attributes on top, such as BDC service availability data, cost to serve, competition, federally funded areas, demographics, and MORE to drive effective and intelligent decision-making. Data is available for all U.S. states and territories.

BroadbandFabric StatePlan Data Suite

With StatePlan data in your broadband maps, assessing broadband needs, the cost to service, funding assessment, and determination across your state has never been so easy.

STRONG FOUNDATION OF ROOFTOP LEVEL LOCATION DATA TO SHOW USER LOCATIONS

BroadbandFabric StatePlan data contains a core base of Broadband Serviceable Locations (the coordinates of all structures where a broadband connection can be installed) and provides you with the level of granularity needed to identify end-user Broadband Serviceable Locations, and assist in qualifying whether they currently receive, can receive, or need broadband service. This data allows you to better understand the exact geographic placement of Broadband Serviceable Locations, the number of users, helps support opportunity analysis, determine precise cost investments needed to get locations serviced, and more.

Reliable information for effective decisions & successful planning

To make intelligent and effective decisions, it’s critical to have reliable information that guides you in the right direction. In the BroadbandFabric StatePlan dataset, every location ties with insightful information such as BDC Service Availability data, Engineering and Construction, Costs and Economics, and Demand and Demographic data you can rely on to support your critical decision-making. With this data all wrapped into one dataset, you can be equipped with all the information you need to make intelligent and effective network and business decisions with confidence.

BUILT BY BROADBAND & DATA SCIENCE EXPERTS YOU CAN RELY ON

Congress, federal agencies, service providers, and other organizations in the telecom industry, rely 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 CostQuest’s granular geospatial Fabric data supports the Broadband Data Collection, National Broadband Map, and broadband funding programs. CostQuest’s work is reviewed regularly, withstanding 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 GIS applications, network planning tools, PowerBI, or other related 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 is or can be installed that imports directly into a state broadband map. With StatePlan data in your broadband map, you can see the current broadband service availablity across the state and identify locations that need broadband access. This data provides you with a precise foundation of the broadband needs across your state to help you inform your broadband deployment strategies. The StatePlan dataset imports easily into GIS applications, network planning tools, PowerBI, or other related 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, federally funded areas, 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 Fiber and Fixed wireless services. 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 engineered netwrok build-out using the latest technology and cost assumptions to ensure effecient 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 can 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 intelligence

With over 114+ million locations identified, each location represents either a residential, business, community anchor institution, governmental, and agriculture structures where a broadband connection is or can be installed. With the option to tie more broadband-specific attributes to each location that is built by broadband experts to enhance the analysis of each location to better support network planning, opportunity assessments, location qualification, policy, regulation, and sales and marketing broadband initiatives.

Confirm geographic accuracy

BroadbandFabric datasets, except for CBG Ops Assessment, provides the exact geographic placement of each location, by first pinpointing structures of locations through highly accurate latitude and longitude coordinates, then using visual verification methods for added confidence.

Universal Location IDs compatible with federal programs

The Location IDs for the Broadband Serviceable Locations in all the BroadbandFabric Data Suites align with the Location IDs in the FCC’s Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric for the Broadband Data Collection and National Broadband Map programs. These locations also align with the data used for select federal broadband funding programs.
