Designed for government and ISP decision-makers, Televate’s Broadband Reports streamline your assessment of broadband service, competition, and digital equity in your community. Whether you’re monitoring your BEAD program or deciding where to build, Televate’s Broadband Reports provide you with key indicators to track the progression of broadband availability and adoption.
Televate’s Broadband Reports are tailored to your state, territory, county or equivalent. Televate’s reports include Broadband Service Reports and Broadband Demographics Reports, which aggregate FCC and Census data and summarize key indicators for each geography, including changes over time.
Broadband Service Reports
The FCC Broadband Data Collection (BDC), and the associated National Broadband Map, provides fundamental information about the internet services available to individual locations. This data represents the most detailed compilation of broadband data collected by the FCC, capturing all service providers per location, data speed, and other data reflecting the availability and quality of broadband service. The BDC is used by NTIA to identify unserved and underserved locations and their eligibility for the federal Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) grant funding.
Our custom software automatically processes dozens of BDC data elements, including the number of internet service providers (ISP) and the type of competition at individual locations, the prevailing technology in an area, and technology deployment tracking, in addition to categorizing service at the federal designated data throughput levels. Our BDC analysis and reporting approach provides consistent perspectives on service at the grid, census block, county, state, and nationwide levels.
Broadband Demographics Reports
Televate’s Broadband Demographics Reports are based on the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimate tables at the national, state, county, and census block group level. These data provide a wealth of information about internet and device utilization across different demographics both presently and historically.
Our custom software automatically processes dozens of ACS data elements, including households with no computer, households without internet access, households with only cellular data access, and our reports analyze the demographics affected by these gaps.
Custom Reports
Televate also offers customized studies that can answer service, competition, and access questions for governments and ISPs alike. Because we have captured and processed millions of BDC and ACS data records, our customized reports can be generated quickly and provide an ideal source of location-centric broadband or demographic data from which to make informed decisions. Customers can also order optional GIS data for additional analysis and mapping.
