State of New Jersey - Broadband Technology Mapping

Broadband is a growing service within the State of New Jersey, yet despite that fact, the State has never undertaken an effort to map broadband availability and utilization within the state. Now that New Jersey was awarded funding by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration's (NTIA) State Broadband Data and Development Grant Program (Broadband Mapping Program), the State has the means to capture where broadband is available and most importantly determine its utilization (current demand) capacity and future demand for broadband statewide.

Map Layer Information

The wired broadband coverage data was delivered to the State by a consultant that compiled all of the information from individual service providers. The information was collected to the 2009 US Census Bureau version of the 2000 US Census Block Groups. The layers used in this application were derived from that data. Users can see different views of the data by selecting the radio button next to the layer name.
