The problem

Public safety depends on a signal you don't control

Copper landlines are on their way out, and residents, buildings and first responders now rely on wireless. Most agencies don't have a clear picture of where it falls short.

How it usually goes

  1. 1Departments buy cellular service for their own sites, often on a single contract.
  2. 2Landline replacements get installed and tested one building at a time.
  3. 3Coverage complaints arrive as anecdotes that are hard to act on.
  4. 4Gaps on rural roads and in parks stay invisible until there's an emergency.

With CoverageMap

  • Every facility on your list is scored for every carrier in one batch.
  • Each landline replacement goes on the carrier that performs best at that building.
  • You can see where FCC-reported coverage and real-world tests disagree.
  • Critical sites and corridors are mapped before the next emergency.

How it helps

One source of data for every wireless decision your agency makes

Landline replacement

Pick the right carrier for every building

Move government buildings, elevators, fire panels and emergency call boxes from copper to cellular. Check every address in one batch and give each site the network that performs best there.

  • Your whole facility list checked in batches
  • A carrier chosen for each site instead of one for all
  • Data to back up every decision
  • Fewer failed cutovers and repeat visits
Coverage monitoring

See where service falls short around town

Scan a grid of points across your city or county and map the scores by carrier and technology. Run it again later to see how things are changing.

  • Scores for every carrier at every point
  • LTE and 5G tracked separately
  • Speed test data that's always being updated
  • Repeatable scans for trend reports
Broadband and grant planning

Make your case with measured data

Compare FCC-reported coverage with what people actually measured. You'll find the places where claimed coverage doesn't match reality, and you can use that evidence in grant applications and conversations with carriers.

  • FCC coverage next to crowdsourced results
  • Failed tests that show where people can't connect
  • Evidence for planning and funding requests
  • Outreach focused on underserved areas
Emergency management

Plan communications for the worst day

Check shelters, operations centers, evacuation routes, parks and trailheads ahead of time. You'll know which carriers work at each site and which network your backup devices should be on.

  • Critical sites scored before anything happens
  • The right carrier for responder devices and vehicle routers
  • Roads and parks with no service identified
  • Portable coverage planned where it's needed

Find the gaps across your facilities

Set the minimum score a site needs. Facilities that clear it get the best carrier, and the rest show up as gaps to follow up on.

The data

Independent data your community can trust

CoverageMap combines official FCC coverage with real-world tests from people near each location. Putting the two side by side shows where they agree and where they don't.
