We developed our own GIS Mapping Automated Design tools we call
The MAD toolkit

3. MAD toolkit
 Provides Complete Analysis of current Availability, Service Levels, Construction Methods, Equipment Options & Business
Models. Starts with Mapping metadata and ends in a cost effective technology based design recommendation.
 Our complete set of tools streamlines all processes from initial conception through construction to test and turn up.

Taxpayer Dollars

5. MAD toolkit: How it Works
 Satellite imagery used in GIS to design down to the street level
 Aerial vs. Underground Least Cost Routing assessments
 Pole attachments, Conduit availability and Construction methods are all analyzed
 Design Data from GIS used to auto complete pole & conduit applications

6. Our Broadband Data Enhanced Maps
 MAD Toolkit produces data enhanced maps providing a reality based view to
affect a cost effective broadband design and delivery plan based on the models

7. Our Broadband Data Enhanced Maps (continued)
 MAD Toolkit has a broadband metadata library to analyze needs and
design the optimal network that will best serve your community needs.

9. Thank you for the opportunity!
As Always We Welcome Any Questions. Comments or Concerns?
Feel Free to reach out to us regardless of whom you select. Our mission is to educate communities
providing industry insight incumbents don’t want you to know.
We hope you develop a sustainable Muni Broadband Network plan that promotes economic
development business & enhances quality of life for residents.
A well designed Muni Network can and will pay for itself. It will deliver a predetermined {ROI} Return
On Investment which generates revenue for the community.
Communities can control their destinies by operating like businesses producing revenue rather than
taxing the base to increase it.
