Expert Guidance for Broadband Adoption Programs

With new guidance coming soon from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) regarding the use of BEAD non-deployment funds, states are entering a new phase of broadband investment. Computers are fundamental infrastructure for broadband adoption, workforce participation, and AI readiness.

As a trusted national nonprofit organization, Digitunity offers expert guidance and a comprehensive portfolio of services to expand computer ownership. Engagements can be tailored to each client’s unique objectives, all aimed at achieving the fullest level of broadband adoption possible. Digitunity’s holistic approach is based on its Methodology for a Sustainable Device Ecosystem. Digitunity’s work focuses on the systems required to move computers from first use in businesses, government, and other institutions, to trusted community partners that serve those in need.

Digitunity has extensive experience and unique expertise in designing and deploying strategies to expand computer ownership among residents. Engagements can be targeted short-term efforts or multi-year, comprehensive projects. We welcome working with states, regional coalitions and collaboratives, counties, cities, and towns.

Areas of Focus

Digitunity’s work focuses on five practical and critically important areas that must be addressed to support the expansion of computer ownership among residents.

Robust and Sustainable Device Supply

Free and/or low-cost computers for qualified residents can be obtained through a variety of donation and procurement methods. Digitunity helps establish a consistent device pipeline and optimizes the entire supply system.

Supply Movement and Logistics

Digitunity offers guidance on efficiently transporting computers from their source to preparation sites and deployment partners.

Device Preparation and Readiness

To ensure successful adoption, computers must be properly configured and paired with the necessary accessories before deployment. Digitunity has deep knowledge and expertise regarding the preparation of both new and previously used computers.

Community Deployment Infrastructure

To ensure computers reach residents most effectively, trusted community organizations are uniquely suited to serve as deployment sites. Deployment training can be provided, drawing upon the collective knowledge of Digitunity’s nearly 1,700-member national practitioner Network.

System Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

A robust computer ownership ecosystem requires ongoing evaluation, monitoring, and adjusting. Continuous community feedback is essential for identifying what’s working, what’s not, and opportunities for system improvement. Digitunity can help.
