Broadband Planning
At the core of everything we do, is an understanding of networks. We incorporate engineering principles when building business cases, cost models, and conducting service mapping. The result is network planning output that accounts for the technical and financial nuances of your unique business.
Governmental Broadband Advisory
Building and maintaining a successful broadband funding program requires a granular understanding of the served and unserved and, ultimately, the investment needed to reach those unserved. CQA builds broadband maps, cost models, and provides advisory services for funding program design. We’d happily share detail on our efforts at the state, regional, and national levels.
Telecom Capital Advisory
Capital decisions don’t just impact today—they shape the future. As an independent third party, we partner with clients to efficiently deploy capital, uncover opportunities, mitigate risks, prepare strategic investments, expand network footprints, assess competitive positions, and navigate financial reporting for profitable results now and in the future.
Address Matching & Georeferencing
CostQuest can match your service (provisioning) addresses to Broadband Serviceable Locations (BSLs). Our matching processes can be used in federal and state regulatory filings, and to support better billing, provisioning, service qualification, and other service provider use cases. We also support broadband providers with other location-based filings supporting High Cost Universal Broadband (HUBB) and Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) build-outs.
