Companies are entering unprecedented times with the ability to provide wireline and wireless broadband networks and services. Demand continues to skyrocket, and federal and state governments are eager to bridge the Digital Divide. As a result, new programs are funding and subsidizing the economics. The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program will impact nearly every aspect of the broadband space, providing more high-speed internet access than any previous federal effort. JLA’s professionals have deep expertise from decades of experience, along with access to network planning toolkits to help your company capitalize on the broadband boom. JLA can help your organization thrive by providing data analysis, network planning and design, and partnership development services to support the entire lifecycle of broadband deployment.

Step one is a rigorous demand analysis, examining the true sectors of enterprise and consumer demand based on diverse sources of data including FCC maps, state and government programs, and network data. This analysis must achieve the correct level of granularity, and through JLA’s geospatial tools and expertise, we conduct demand-side analyses down to the individual household or enterprise. The second step is a thorough analysis of supply-side economics, determining the cost structure of various broadband technologies and the full picture of the cost-to-serve. Our supply-side analysis also includes the impact of any governmental broadband programs and a full view of the competitive landscape.

JLA then synthesizes insights across the demand and supply-side analyses, producing a systematic and disciplined broadband opportunity analysis, complete with robust business case economics. JLA has the expertise necessary to provide thorough broadband consulting services including business case development, network planning, and partnership evaluation, among others.
