Visit our Broadband Mapping Hub to explore broadband maps and data to identify gaps and opportunities in your community. This data can help support strategic planning, policy decisions, and community education and engagement.

The Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program requires the New Jersey Office of Broadband Connectivity (OBC) to allow eligible stakeholders to challenge the accuracy of BEAD-eligible locations. Eligible locations consist of broadband serviceable locations (BSLs) that are unserved and underserved and are not subject to an enforceable commitment. To learn more about the BEAD Challenge Process and to pre-register, please click here. 

Local governments play an important role in enabling broadband access for their community members. This can include digital skills training, fiber-to-the-home broadband networks, and everything in between. 

How you can support your community:

• Educate your community by highlighting broadband and digital equity resources through your communication channels
• Work with other community organizations like schools, libraries and health care providers to leverage and combine resources
• Provide the New Jersey Asset Mapping Survey to an organization that is focused on digital inclusion to be included in our public-facing directory

We would be happy to meet with you to discuss how we can support your efforts to improve broadband in your community. Please email the NJ Office of Broadband Connectivity at broadband@bpu.nj.gov.
