Stratsoft equips broadband providers with analytics, network design tools, and documentation to secure State and Federal broadband grants.

Network design & bid-area optimization

  • Proprietary least-cost-routing algorithms aligned with State scoring rules.
  • Dynamic clustering of households, CAIs, and business premises to refine bid boundaries for maximum point yield and ROI.

Data & economic analysis

  • Integrated cap-ex/op-ex models fed by location-level Bill-of-Materials data.
  • Scenario testing to rank candidate footprints by subsidy per passing, NPV, and payback.

Competitor mapping

  • Geospatial plots of incumbent footprints, speed tiers, and technology types across the target geography.
  • Competitive-risk scores identifying tracts likely to attract overlapping bids.

Grant-ready submission package

  • GIS layers, engineering schematics, and cost tables formatted to State templates.
  • Narrative justifications auto-generated from underlying analytics to streamline portal uploads and RFI responses.

 Stratsoft delivers defensible numbers, optimized routes, and a clear competitive landscape—shortening bid cycles and raising award probability.

  • Network design and selected bid areas.  We write code and develop algorithms that comply with State bidding rules to develop network designs with Least Cost Routing to connect eligible bid sites (households, CAIs and others) to then refine bid areas that most suit the Provider.
  • Data and Economic Analysis. Network data are available for economic analysis and final selection for bid submission.
  • Bid Submission support. Stratsoft provides maps, network designs, economic analyses and data prepared to comply with State bid requirements.
  • Competitor Analyses. We plot where chosen companies provide service to customers throughout the selected Bid Area. This enables the Bidder to assess who and where other Providers are likely to submit competing bids.

Stratsoft Bid Support service allow the Provider to develop and refine their bids for broadband support grants using granular data and bid network designs.
