Frequently Asked Questions
What is the BEAD Program?
The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program, part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), funds high-speed broadband for underserved communities, helping close the digital divide.
Who benefits from BEAD?
Community Anchor Institutions (CAIs) like schools, libraries, and healthcare centers, as well as residents in unserved and underserved areas, receive priority.
What are last-mile and middle-mile networks?
- Last-Mile Connectivity: Brings internet directly to homes and businesses.
- Middle-Mile Infrastructure: Connects regional networks to local areas, enabling faster, more reliable service.
What speed and reliability standards are required?
BEAD-funded networks must meet minimum 100/20 Mbps speeds, low latency, and high reliability to support modern digital needs.
What is BABA compliance?
Build America, Buy America (BABA) requires infrastructure materials—like fiber optic cable, steel, cement, and glass—to be produced or substantially transformed in the U.S. Projects must demonstrate significant transformation and maintain proper compliance documentation.
What is the Buy America preference?
BABA prioritizes domestic content procurement, ensuring federal dollars support U.S. manufacturers while building critical infrastructure.
Are waivers available for BABA requirements?
Yes. If domestic materials are unavailable or cost-prohibitive, projects can request a BABA waiver, reviewed by the Made in America Office.
How does BEAD support workforce development?
Through workforce readiness programs, BEAD helps train local labor forces to deploy and maintain broadband infrastructure, creating skilled jobs in communities.
What is equity mapping?
Equity mapping identifies underserved and unserved areas to ensure funding reaches the communities that need it most.
Why does BEAD matter for communities?
High-speed broadband improves access to education, healthcare, business, and public services. BEAD-funded projects meet public function and benefit requirements, helping communities thrive while promoting domestic manufacturing under BABA.
