Site Purpose
The State Services Commission (SSC) built the National Broadband Map to provide a clear view New Zealand's broadband landscape. The map shows the gaps between demand for high-speed broadband and its current availability from telecommunications service providers to help with demand aggregation and infrastructure planning.
What We Did
- Built a mapping system based on Google Maps which displays demand for broadband by geographic location.
- Pulled in data from telecommunications service providers to show current availability of high-speed internet.
- Built a rich web application that is also accessible and e-government compliant.
- Created RESTful and SOAP APIs so that other website developers can have programmatic access to the map data.
What Users Can Do Now
- Acess the data from the National Broadband Map through the visual representation of the map.
- Get raw access to the underlying data via open APIs.
- Register with the site to add their own demand data to the map.
