National Broadband Map Update Michael Byrne Geographic Information Officer
Outline Quality Assessment Data Integration Produce BB Map
• The National Broadband Map is a program of the National Telecommunications Information Administration • Authority comes from ARRA and BDIA NTIA “shall create and maintain a National Broadband Map” Map “shall be on-line and searchable and interactive” • Grants to each state and territory for assembling and collecting the data NTIA and FCC entered into a partnership to help produce the map FAST TIMELINES National Broadband Map - Overview
• NTIA awarded grants to each state; state mapping broadband availability; Technology and speed available, by provider at the US Census Block level Community Anchor Institution Data • Collect data twice a year (April and October) Map to be published on 2/17/2011 National Broadband Map
Data Integration – Review Data • Each submission contains; a Geodatabase, some summary information, metadata, and a process paper • Standard process for reviewing the data • Issues we have seen • No documentation, record count differences, no metadata, valid values in data
Data Integration – Completeness Analysis • How much availability is there (e.g. by population and housing units)? • How much speed is there (e.g. by population and housing units)? • Did we get all the right providers? • Did we get all the right community Anchor Institutions?
National Quality Assessment – Overview • Meta Analysis • Data Comparison • Final Report
National Quality Assessment Meta Analysis • Check stuff • Awardee provided documentation of data verification strategies • Feedback loop to service providers • Primary data source collection
National Quality Assessment – Compare Data • Type I & Type II Error assessment against known third party data • FCC 477, Speed test, industry data • Wireline • Wireless • Technology • Speed
National Quality Assessment – Final Report • Record level data confidence • Recommendations for process improvements • Technical details of quality • Feedback loop for awardees
National Broadband Map • Platform Specification • Requirements • Design Build Implement (agile) • Mobile • Supporting Visualizations • Technology Transfer
Requirements • All REST and web services (including OGC) • Simple search • Summarize (any geography) • Analyze (rank any geography) • Developer (e.g. API enabled) • Advanced Analytics available
Mobile App • We have a contest planned for a mobile app • To be released by April 2010
• What would a mobile app do? • What functions would you recommend employing in a mobile app? • How do we truly define something ‘unique’ that significantly adds value to community? Your Help Needed
Michael Byrne michael.byrne@fcc.gov Thank You
Data Integration – Review Data • Layers include – (1) Block level, (2) address level, (3) road segment level, (4) wireless, (5) CAI, (6) middle mile and an (7) overview • (8) Last mile and (9) subscriber weighted nominal speed • Check each field for valid values, accepted ranges, and combination of values • Check geospatial data for vertex limits, geometry errors, projection and topology rules • ETL data into a staging database
• Most major federal datasets built on Census geography • First dot gov API to unlock data at Census block level • Wide-reaching benefit across government agencies FCC.gov/Developer Announcing – FCC Census Block Search API
