Utah Broadband Center
The Utah Broadband Center (UBC) aims to ensure all Utahns can access reliable, affordable high-speed internet service. Providing high-speed internet to every home and business catapults the state's trajectory as the fastest-growing and best economy in the nation and globally.
The Connecting Utah Initiative, initiated by UBC, collaborates with key partners to close Utah’s “digital divide,” or the gap between those who can and cannot access broadband internet, including the digital skills to use it.
What We Do
- Facilitate the Utah Broadband Alliance, whose participants include public and private stakeholders working to bring high-quality broadband to Utahns
- Convene the Utah Broadband Center Advisory Commission, which recommends UBC’s use of federal funds
- Administer the state's federally funded Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program and maintain the statewide residential and commercial broadband availability maps
- Administer the state’s Broadband Access Grant (BAG) program
- Implement the statewide Digital Connectivity Plan, which was developed in collaboration with the Utah Broadband Center Advisory Commission, tribal and community leaders, internet service providers (ISPs), nonprofits, and other stakeholders
- Partner with broadband providers, Utah Digital Opportunity Network (UDON), local, state, and federal policymakers, consumers, community institutions, and other stakeholders.
