FTTP Coverage Analysis

Type: Choropleth map with ward boundaries
Primary metric: FTTP coverage percentage by ward

Coverage Metrics

The visualization shows the extent of Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) deployment:

fttp_coverage = (fttp_premises / total_premises) * 100

Where:

• fttp_premises = Number of premises with FTTP availability
• total_premises = Total number of premises in the ward

Interpretation Guide:

Coverage Levels:

• Full Coverage (80-100%)

  • Future-proof infrastructure
  • High-quality connectivity
  • Focus on service adoption

• Substantial Coverage (60-80%)

  • Strong FTTP presence
  • Ongoing deployment
  • Strategic infill needed

• Partial Coverage (40-60%)

  • Mixed infrastructure
  • Active build areas
  • Significant potential

• Limited Coverage (20-40%)

  • Early deployment stage
  • High growth potential
  • Investment opportunity

• Minimal Coverage (0-20%)

  • Legacy infrastructure dominant
  • Upgrade opportunity
  • Strategic priority area

Design Elements:

• Base map showing ward boundaries within the Local Authority
• Color scale progression:
  • Purple (0%) → Mixed Tones → Yellow (100%)
• Interactive hover information:
  • Ward name
  • FTTP coverage percentage
  • Total premises count
  • FTTP premises count
  • Quarterly growth rate

Strategic Applications:

1. Network Planning

   • Track FTTP rollout
   • Identify coverage gaps
   • Plan network expansion

2. Investment Analysis

   • Assess deployment progress
   • Identify opportunities
   • Monitor ROI

3. Market Intelligence

   • Track competitor builds
   • Monitor market evolution
   • Guide strategy

4. Stakeholder Engagement

   • Report progress
   • Demonstrate coverage
   • Support planning

Note: This visualization shows FTTP infrastructure availability rather than service take-up. It indicates where future-proof broadband could be provided, not where it is currently being used.
