Broadband
Planning,
Not an Oxymoron
Plan the work, work the plan
Get The Facts
Communities across the country recognize the importance of broadband networks to support their future viability. They also recognize the amount of Government funding that is available to help them reach their goals.
To future-proof digital infrastructure and set yourself up for success you need to get the facts.
Internet access plays a crucial role in the lives of everyone worldwide. So much so that there is debate as to whether it should be considered a basic human right. Regardless, the current lack of digital equity, particularly in the US where access to technology is surprisingly limited in many areas, makes accomplishing this difficult.

Digital Inclusion means that individual and communities have access to robust broadband connections; Internet-enabled devices that meet their needs; and the skills to explore, create and collaborate in the digital world. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Beyond just feasibility services, we offer full broadband strategic planning that extends from assessment all the way through build. Using state-of-the-art GIS technology, we provide the headlights to guide you through your unique broadband journey. Our data will show you where the greatest digital inequalities are and provide insights on next steps to better connect residents.
There is never one clear or preferred solution solely based on the data presented in the final report. However, with our findings you can initiate goal-oriented discussions around debt tolerance, service coverage, quality, operational intensity, and more.
All paths to closing the digital divide will have their unique pros and cons. Our research will empower you with the data to make the most informed decisions possible with the input of key stakeholders and your constituents.
