RENSSELAER, NY, UNITED STATES, March 7, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CommSoft, an innovative provider of telecom focused solutions and services, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with CostQuest Associates to utilize their Broadband Serviceable Location Fabric dataset, the national standard for federal programs as an extension of the COMPASS.AI BEAD Decision Support tool.
Leveraging the power of CostQuest’s industry leading geospatial data sets along with next generation AI algorithms, CommSoft has created a holistic modeling solution, that creates derivative results to accelerate network expansion decisions.
CommSoft’s COMPASS.AI can be used for any network expansion analysis, though the initial focus is on providing in-depth information to support the BEAD bidding process. With intuitive data filtering options and robust graphical visualizations, COMPASS.AI streamlines opportunity analysis while driving precise cost planning. Extensive volumes of data elements required for informed decision making are seamlessly transformed into clear, actionable insights.
“We are excited to move forward with CostQuest, merging their top-tier data with our telcom-focused AI which redefines Fiber Network modeling” said Dave Geoghegan, CommSoft CTO. “This partnership enables smaller and regional providers to compete with industry giants. We’re excited to play a strategic role in the transformation of Rural connectivity.”
“The BroadbandFabric data will be a great addition to CommSoft’s COMPASS.AI platform by equipping it with CostQuest’s BroadbandFabric Network Plan data suite, which includes Fabric locations, cost modeling, service availability, competitive landscape, build complexity scoring, and demographics. Data providers can use this rich data within the COMPASS.AI platform to inform their broadband planning initiatives,” said Mike Wilson, CostQuest’s CRO. “We’re looking forward to our partnership with CommSoft, and working towards the goal of making the BroadbandFabric data – which aligns with the FCC’s Broadband Data Collection, NTIA’s BEAD, and other federal granting programs - accessible to all parties to support closing the digital divide in U.S.”
CommSoft is dedicated to making this technology widely available to CSPs and encourages interested parties to explore how this solution powered by AI can benefit their operations. To find out more about COMPASS.AI and to sign up for an upcoming webinar, please click here.
