 Broadband Mapping and Network Design Using Realtime GIS Track: Telecommunications Author(s): Michael Dueweke A major goal for the State of Michigan is to sustain efforts needed to strengthen the state's economic base. While a number of strategic policy initiatives and programs have been enacted to meet this goal, none is more important than improving access to high-speed telecommunication services and assuring that comprehensive information is available from carriers and other service providers regarding the type, quality, and location of services. This paper presents the development of a "realtime" online mapping application deployed during the data collection phase of the LinkMichigan Regional Telecommunications Planning Program. The integrated software application designed utilized ArcSDE, ArcIMS, and Java to provide telecommunication providers a means to map their facilities, service areas, and proposed broadband networks online in realtime. The relevance of employing these technologies for creating realtime, online mapping applications is limited only by one's imagination.
