A real answer, in writing
Not a coverage-map screenshot and not a sales pitch — a structured report built by actually contacting the carriers and regional providers who might serve you, and documenting what they say.
Named carrier & provider serviceability
The specific national carriers, regional operators, and tribal-friendly providers that can actually turn up service at your location and sites — not a generic list of who operates somewhere in your state.
Wholesale & retail options
Where a wholesale transport arrangement is available and makes sense, we surface it alongside standard retail circuits, so you're comparing the full set of paths to service, not just the first quote offered.
Benchmark context
What comparable tribal and rural buyers are actually paying for similar service in similar markets, so you know whether a quote is reasonable before you're deep in a negotiation.
Redlining documentation
If a carrier claims coverage it can't deliver, the report says so plainly and in writing. That documentation stands on its own — including as evidence for funding applications that require proof of serviceability gaps.
Tell us where, and what
A location and a rough site count is enough to start. The more you tell us about current pain and what you need, the sharper the report — but nothing here is a hard requirement to get a response.

Nothing. Ever.
Suppliers pay Konative when they win business — not Tribal buyers, ever. The coverage report is yours regardless of whether you engage us for procurement afterward. No advisory fee, no retainer, no obligation to purchase.
That's the same commitment we put in writing for every tribal engagement.
Start with the FCC map — then get the real answer
The FCC National Broadband Map is a free, public, self-serve starting point, and there's no reason not to look there first.
Honest caveat: the map is built from carrier-reported data, and on tribal lands that data frequently overstates real availability. A provider can show as "serving" an area on the map and still tell you no when you call about a specific site. That gap is exactly what our report is built to close.
FAQ
How is this free?
Konative is paid by the supplier that wins the business, not by the Tribal buyer. That's the standard technology brokerage model, and it holds here too: the coverage report is yours regardless of whether you ever engage us for procurement. No advisory fee, no retainer, no obligation to purchase.
What does the report include?
A written breakdown of which carriers and regional or tribal-friendly providers can actually serve your location and sites — both wholesale and retail options — sourced across a 100+ supplier portfolio. Where relevant, we include wholesale transport options, benchmark context on what comparable buyers pay, and plain documentation of any redlining: carriers who claim coverage on paper but can't actually deliver a working circuit. That documentation is useful on its own, including for funding applications that require serviceability evidence.
How do you know better than the FCC map?
We don't replace it — we go further than it can. The FCC National Broadband Map is a genuinely useful starting point, but it's built from carrier self-reported data, and on tribal lands that data is frequently overstated: a carrier reports an area as served when in practice they can't or won't turn up a real circuit there. We contact carriers and regional providers directly, ask the specific serviceability question for your specific sites, and document what they actually say — not what they filed with the FCC.
Do you serve Alaska Native villages and Canadian First Nations?
Yes. Our carrier and supplier portfolio spans the US and Canada, and we work with Alaska Native villages and First Nations communities alongside lower-48 tribal nations and enterprises. Serviceability and available providers vary a lot by region, which is exactly why a location-specific report is more useful than a general map.
What happens after the report?
Nothing, unless you want something to happen. You get the written report either way. If you want to move forward, we run a competitive quoting process across the carriers who can actually serve you, compare wholesale and retail terms, and manage the path through installation — still at no cost to you, since suppliers pay our fee.
