Broadband mapping is when the deployment, coverage and quality of broadband are collected and presented for a geographical area.

Broadband mapping is used in several countries to monitor and fast track broadband deployment to ensure internet connectivity for citizens. Literature review has revealed that many European countries have already implemented broadband infrastructure mapping and broadband services mapping.

Studies on broadband mapping show that there are four different types of broadband mapping, namely: broadband infrastructure mapping, broadband service mapping, broadband demand mapping and broadband investment and funding mapping.
