For some, acquiring granular and accurate broadband data to inform broadband deployment efforts efficiently has been a challenge. Which is why using our core Broadband Serviceable Location data, we created the BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan dataset to provide complete and precise data for intelligent broadband network planning and design. The BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan dataset is built for broadband deployment projects, complete with coordinates of the latest Broadband Serviceable Locations that universally tie to other critical data attributes such as broadband service availability, funding eligibility, cost to serve, demand, demographics, and MORE. This dataset provides you with an array of data (true data fabric) designed to guide effective and intelligent decisions in broadband deployment projects.
BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan Data Suite
BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan – kickstart broadband deployment projects with the most granular and precise broadband data possible. The broadband data in the BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan is based on CostQuest’s Broadband Serviceable Location data tied directly to federal broadband initiatives.
Granular broadband data to find consumers & design networks to end-user locations
The BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan dataset 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, the number of potential users or customers, and helps determine what investments are needed to get them serviced.
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 dataset, 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 NetworkPlan data for?
Planning
Develop Network Plans
BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan data contains Broadband Serviceable Location data layered with insightful information per location you can import into your GIS to create a geographically granular and comprehensive broadband map. This collective data displayed in your broadband map allows you to assess a location’s broadband service availability, competitive landscape, residential and non-residential demand, funding eligibility, demographics, and identify nearby Community Anchor Institutions. Each location is layered with crucial information per location to help you make the most informed decisions from your broadband map.
Planning
Create Fiber or Fixed Wireless Network Financial Models
With the BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan data, you receive an estimated cost to serve each location with Fiber or Fixed Wireless technology or both. Unlock data to understand broadband service availability, cost investment per location, funding eligibility, competitive landscape, residential and non-residential demand, demographics, and the location of nearby Community Anchor Institutions. NetworkPlan data can help you develop confident cost estimates, so you can be successful when competing for funding opportunities (ex. IIJA’s BEAD funding program) and mitigate risks in the process.
Planning
Build Fiber Business Case & FTTP Design
With the BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan, you have the option to add on Business Case and Fiber Network Design data to view fiber routes and analyze the market opportunity for a typical Fiber to the Premise (FTTP) buildout. Indicate a defined service area, and we will deliver NetworkPlan Fiber data along with data from CostQuest’s Fiber Business Case, which includes the cost to maintain the business over time, plus an estimate of demand, revenue, and the Net Present Value of the full network business. The final output provides a clear picture of what subsidies are needed, eligible funding areas, and infrastructure routes. Fixed Wireless network models can also be modeled for a Full Business Case.
Planning
Identify Grant Opportunities Faster
The data collectively in the BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan dataset allows you to assess Broadband Serviceable Locations, broadband service availability, cost, infrastructure, and eligible funding areas all in one view. This dataset, along with a Full Business case and Network Design, can accelerate the identification and assessment of opportunities to pursue.
Planning
Deployment Validation
The BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan dataset provides teams with coordinates of all Broadband Serviceable locations within a defined geographic area. Overlaying the awarded funding areas with this coordinate-level location data enables precise buildout plan tracking, field verification, or remote visual verification using satellite and street side imagery.
Planning
Reporting Obligations – BDC
Use this data for your semi-annual and grant program regulatory filings for the Broadband Data Collection and USAC’s HUBB. This data is formatted to meet BDC and USAC’s filing requirements, so you can easily integrate it with your existing data to create filings.
Get broadband-specific data
Each Broadband Serviceable Location we identify is a structure location needing broadband service. Our Broadband Serviceable Locations are NOT developed for insurance or real estate, they are built specifically for broadband. This data was developed by broadband experts and data scientists with deep roots in broadband economic network modeling and mapping.
Confirm geographic accuracy
Precise geographic placement for each Broadband Serviceable Location – pinpoints serviceable structures through highly accurate latitude and longitude coordinates, with visual verification used for added confidence.
Easy import & interoperability
All BroadbandFabric data sets come in a .CSV file format that can import into any major GIS or visualization software. This data integrates easily with other data by using H3, which is a universal location identifier that can support referencing other data sets with the BroadbandFabric data.
See locations eligible for funding
Review locations that fall within areas covered under federal funding programs, such as CAF, RDOF, ARA, the upcoming IIJA funding, and more to leverage as capital to expand broadband services.
What data is included?
All data sets come in an Excel .CSV file format for easy import into any major GIS or visualization software. Purchase data either by state or county.

Data you can add-on
Business Case data
This data provides you with a full Business Case for a custom geographic area.
Users indicate their defined service area, and we will deliver custom Business Case data for that area.
The entire Business Case includes the cost to maintain the business over time, plus an estimate of demand and revenue.
The custom Business Case also provides you with the Net Present Value look of the potential service area. With this information, you can understand the whole market opportunity for deploying a typical Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) network buildout to a defined service area and identify where funding is most required.
Fiber network design from our CQA Autodesign model
This data includes fiber routes to Broadband Serviceable Locations (demand) and logical placements of equipment along the way.
We also will provide you with an efficient clustering and a complete GIS network design output ready for approval from a Professional Engineer.
Broadband-specific, precise and simple
Built by broadband experts with over 20+ years of experience in the communications industry, we’ve created data that is broadband-specific, precise at the coordinate level, and works easily with your data.
