In the era of digital transformation, internet access is no longer a “nice-to-have” bonus – it’s ingrained in our daily lives. The recently introduced federal funding programs represent a historic step forward toward the goal of providing broadband access to the entire country. The biggest beneficiaries of this opportunity are the local governments leading with a data-driven outlook and looking to better their communities and bridge the digital divide.
Planning for the deployment of high-speed Internet - whether including conducting research, collecting data, outreach and training - is the first and crucial step in the process that is often overlooked. In order to maximize the opportunities to provide access to critical government services and ensure funding is received for new infrastructure projects -identifying serviceable locations is essential.
Complete, precise property and human mobility data make it possible to reduce operational errors and enable confident decision-making. Data enrichment provides much-needed context to help identify unserved and underserved locations by linking data records to real-life locations - further streamlining the process of identifying gaps in broadband coverage.
Watch this on-demand webinar dedicated to exploring how state and local governments can maximize the impact of broadband funding programs and lead the way to digital inclusion with a data-driven approach.
Benefits of Watching
Explore the latest initiatives the state and local government projects and initiatives put in place to combat digital inequity Discover the biggest and most pressing challenges in extending broadband connectivity to all unserved and underserved locations Learn how data enrichment helps to identify gaps in broadband coverage and provides an essential tool to empower a connected nation
7. Data enrichment
Complementing core agency data to
add critical context and increase
value for your constituents
• Improve the value, accuracy, and
usability of internal data
• Transform raw data into actionable
insights
• Empower informed decision-
making
8. Accelerating
broadband
initiatives
Extending broadband connectivity and
enabling access for your constituents
starts with a list of serviceable
locations.
Inability to confidently identify
serviceable locations leads to:
Unserved and underserved households and missed
opportunities to provide access to critical government
services
Inability to receive funding for new infrastructure
projects caused by the lack of visibility
Manual cost assessment for the initial investments
9. Different
purposes
require a
unique
approach to
standardizati
on &
verification
Different mailing standards, for example:
• Common U.S. addresses can have 13 attributes
• 300+ address attributes to consider around the world
Working with
addresses is
hard!
Geocoding
Mailability Deliverability Serviceability

11. Broadband funding
Broadband Equity, Access, and
Deployment (BEAD) Program
Providing $42.45 billion to expand high-speed internet
access and combat digital inequity
Program priorities:
1. Unserved locations
2. Underserved locations
3. Community anchor institutions
(schools, libraries, health clinics, public safety entities,
public housing organizations, hospitals, etc.)
12. Defining unserved, underserved, and
served
Unserved
• Locations with no reliable
broadband service
• Lacking broadband service that
offers speeds above 25
megabits per second
• Only served by satellite or
purely unlicensed spectrum
Underserved
• Locations with access to the
broadband service of at least 25
Mbps downstream and 3 Mbps
upstream
• No access to broadband service
of 100 Mbps downstream and 20
Mbps upstream at a latency of
100 milliseconds or less
Served
• Locations with access to
broadband service of 100 Mbps
downstream and 20 Mbps
upstream at a latency of 100
milliseconds or less
• Access to crucial government
services, virtual schooling, work
from home, and more!
14. … but there are
hundreds of
people who need
access to all
the
opportunities
that high-speed
internet
provides!
15. Extreme
level of
context
is essential to empower citizen services.
Government, telecommunications, and
technology leaders are working together to bring
access to life-changing opportunities for every
constituent.
16. In the era of
digital
transformation,
Internet access is no longer a “nice-to-have”
bonus – it’s ingrained in our daily lives
Bridge the digital
divide
Provide access to critical citizen services, work from home,
virtual schooling, enable online homework
