How are you building the blueprint for your BEAD-compliant network? It surely includes optimizations for outside plant operations, reporting structures, and much more. 

But will your network safeguard the community that your broadband business has helped build? The best service providers show in their BEAD applications that their network not only connects but also protects the communities where they live, work and play. They plan for community Wi-Fi solutions that support first responders, social media monitoring tools that keep children safe online and more.
