For some, acquiring granular and reliable broadband data to effectively inform broadband initiatives has been a challenge. This is why using our core Broadband Serviceable Location data, we created the BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan dataset to provide complete and precise data for effective broadband network planning and design. The BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan dataset is built for broadband deployment projects, complete with coordinates and addresses of the latest Broadband Serviceable Locations, and is tied with other insightful data attributes such as BDC broadband service availability data, competition, federally funded areas, cost to serve (Fiber and FW), 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. Data is available for all U.S. counties, states, and territories.
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.
STRONG FOUNDATION OF ROOFTOP LEVEL LOCATION DATA TO SHOW USER LOCATIONS
BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan 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, 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 NetworkPlan dataset, every location is tied 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 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, federally funded areas, 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 data.
With the BroadbandFabric NetworkPlan data, you receive an estimated cost to serve each location with Fiber and Fixed Wireless technologies. Unlock data to understand broadband service availability, cost investment per location, federally funded areas, 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 federally funded 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 rooftop-level location data enables precise buildout plan tracking, field verification, or remote visual verification using satellite and street side imagery.
Planning
Reporting Obligations – USAC HUBB
Use this data for your semi-annual and grant program regulatory filings for the USAC’s HUBB. This data is formatted to meet USAC’s filing requirements, so you can easily integrate it with your existing data to create filings.
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.
Easy import & interoperability with other datasets & applications
All BroadbandFabric datasets come in a .CSV file format that can easily import into any major GIS or visualization software, network planning tools, SQL, or related applications. This data integrates easily with other data by using a unique location ID, which is a universal location identifier that can support aligning other datasets with the locations in the BroadbandFabric data.
What data is included?
All datasets come in an Excel .CSV file format for easy import into any major GIS, visualization software, network planning tool, SQL, or related applications. Data is available for every U.S. state, county, and territory. In the below table, “x” indicates that the data field is included in that particular data suite package.
