Build Broadband Maps to Support Your Stimulus Funding Requests
View Recorded Webinar

ESRI technology enables telecommunication companies to identify areas where broadband expansion projects will deliver significant ROI and build coverage maps that support stimulus funding requests.

The stimulus bill and other sources have made available significant funds for broadband expansion. To get your share of these funds, your organization will need to plan and justify broadband projects that deliver services to a population that is currently underserved. To help determine which areas are lacking sufficient broadband service, maps that adequately depict current broadband coverage are required. ESRI solutions enable you to design such maps that uncover unserved and underserved areas within your service territory and plan projects to increase their level of broadband availability.
