Greene County New York BAAT and Inventory Study

About

Greene County contracted with ECC Technologies, Inc. (ECC) to perform a broadband study by collecting GIS data from the various broadband providers in the County. Where data was unavailable, ECC conducted an inventory of existing fiber optic, coaxial assets and other broadband supporting infrastructure within Greene County, New York.

Scope

ECC, in conjunction with Greene County, used ECC’s Broadband Availability and Adoption Tool (BAAT) to conduct a survey of residents and businesses to evaluate broadband adoption issues in the County. This survey helped identify addresses with no access to broadband which helped corroborate and validate the infrastructure data supplied by the broadband providers.

From the Infrastructure data provided by the ISPs, ECC created maps revealing gaps in broadband infrastructure within the County.  The County is in the process of preparing an RFP for solutions from the various ISP providers. ECC is assisting in the development of the RFP as well as the evaluation of the responses.
