Using maps to identify gaps, understand need, and plan projects

HOW EBBC USES MAPS

No single map tells the whole story. EBBC uses multiple data sources alongside local knowledge to understand where service is available, where households remain disconnected, and where public investments can support stronger broadband projects.

  • Identify Infrastructure Gaps

    Compare broadband availability, providers, technologies, and speeds to understand where service gaps remain.

  • Understand Household Connectivity

    Use subscription and demographic data to identify communities where infrastructure availability may not translate into household connectivity.

  • Plan Broadband Investments

    Connect service gaps with grant eligibility, existing projects, and middle-mile routes to identify and advance competitive broadband projects.

Maps are a starting point, not the whole picture.

Broadband maps draw from different datasets and reporting methods. EBBC works with local governments, community organizations, providers, and residents to pair mapping data with local knowledge and identify actionable broadband priorities.

Working on a broadband project?

EBBC can help you compare broadband datasets, identify priority areas, understand existing and planned infrastructure, and connect mapping insights to project development.

Map content and availability may change. Users should confirm current data, eligibility, and program details directly with the original source.
