Consulting & Advisory Services
Since 1997, The Broadband Group (TBG) has advised leading master-planned communities, cities, and utilities, crafting broadband strategies that have shaped the industry while delivering lasting value for communities.
The Broadband Group supports land developers, cities, and electric utilities in designing network deployment strategies that attract industry partnerships and private-sector investment in high-performance wired and wireless networks. These networks power more than fast internet, they enable smart city applications, expand access to healthcare and education, spur economic growth, and strengthen community life. Drawing on deep expertise in broadband metrics, financing, and provider operations, TBG has shaped some of the nation’s most innovative partnerships. From policy and network design to financial modeling and wireless coverage planning, we position connectivity as a core community asset and lasting advantage.
Broadband Consulting & Advisory
With 28-years of experience, we continue to serve as an independent advisor to master-planned communities, homebuilders, and mixed-use developers—designing technology strategies that establish high-performance wired and wireless broadband as a core community amenity.
Large-Scale Development Projects
By aligning the interests of developers and the broadband industry, we help leading communities position connectivity as a cornerstone amenity—shaping places where people want to live, stay connected, and engage, while supporting long-term property value.
Cities, Electric Utilities, and Cooperatives
We analyze infrastructure, market conditions, and service gaps to define opportunities for direct broadband network investments or strategic industry partnerships.
Regional Fiber Builds
We support governmental agencies in managing their right-of-way as a strategic asset, identifying opportunities for fiber deployment and technology integration along transportation corridors. We help to position the ROW for private-sector investment, leveraging its value to attract fiber, wireless, and smart transportation projects.
Data Center Development
By identifying and mapping regional long-haul and metro fiber routes, we help developers highlight connectivity assets that strengthen a site’s competitive position. We work with developers, utilities, and municipalities to integrate these routes with power, cooling, and land-use planning.
