Utah Broadband Project: What is Being Mapped?

• NTIA Broadband Definition:

– Speed: 768K down, 200K Up (maximum advertised speed)

– All Technologies

• Mapping Broadband Speed & Technology:

– Wireless Service Areas• Mobile and Fixed Wireless Service Area polygons

– Wireline Service Areas• Census Block (where blocks <= 2 sq miles)• Road Segment• Address Service Points

– Infrastructure• Middle & Last Mile Locations

– Community Anchor Institutions• Schools, Emergency Response, Health, Government, Public Services

Italics indicate confidential data elements

Examples ofBroadband Provider

Biannual Data Submissions

A Fixed Wireless Service Area Example, Moab Area

Example: Wireline Broadband Service By Census Block, SLC

Wireline Service By Road Segment Examples, Herriman

area mapped by Census Blocks(where y2k CB area <= 2.0 sq miles)

Big Picture Infrastructure

• Utah is the western regional optical fiber nexus– Twitter, Oracle, Overstock,

NSA…– Strategic location for national

connectivity– Growing concentration of

corporate & public data centers locally

– Low electric rates

5 distinct majordestinations

At least 8 distinctfiber paths

What can we see in the broadband data?
