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

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
