Range to a Fibre Notes (Access Points) layers from the ITU Broadband Mapping programme (BBmaps) and research The layer displays 10, 25 and 50 km of distance to a Fibre Node. This is used to calculate the Broadband Capacity Indicator 7 (Percentage of population within reach of transmission networks) The population living within reach of transmission networks is calculated from network nodes (points) rather than routes (lines), because nodes are access points to the network. This is the equivalent of a motorway: a motorway may pass through areas of high and low population density, but the only means of accessing the motorway are at junctions

ITU Transmission Networks WMS enabled from the ITU Broadband Mapping programme (BBmaps) and research Terrestrial backbone connectivity (optical fibres, microwaves). The data for the World Transmission Links have been collected through: Primary sources: Reply to an official request for information (RFI) document has been sent to all Regions outlining the purpose of the project for operators, indicating what level of detail is required, and what format the data is to be published. Secondary sources: On data was readily available in the public domain, from operator websites, annual reports, company presentations, and presentations at industry conferences. Partnership: A number of organizations do already research and produce transmission network maps for particular countries or regions, for various technical reasons. The collection of data as well as their validation from concerned Operators/Administrations is currently a work in progress. Includies extracts from research that has been validated: - National terrestrial backbone connectivity (optical fibres, microwaves).
