Connecting Arizonans
to Our Digital Future
AS ONE
AZ-1 (pronounced “as one”) is a portal of resources dedicated to broadband and digital equity efforts throughout Arizona.
Our mission is to improve broadband access and digital skills in Arizona
Together “as one”, we will create a repository of resources on broadband expansion, digital equity + inclusion efforts, and opportunities across the state for everyone in Arizona to learn, share, and advance on closing the digital divide and improving broadband access.
AZ-1 (pronounced "as one") is a web portal for engaged citizens and community organizations, where the efforts across the state are curated into a centralized location to make it easier for the community to find what they are looking for, in order to achieve digital equity faster in the state of Arizona.
We aim to provide insights into the current state of internet access, share relevant socioeconomic factors, and aid in the identification of areas that could benefit from digital equity outreach.
Explore The Arizona Broadband Map
The Arizona Broadband Map was created in partnership with Maricopa County, and made possible by ARPA funding, to provide insights into the current state of internet access and relevant socioeconomic factors and aid in identifying areas that could benefit from digital equity efforts.
Together, we can do more
So many amazing efforts exist already separately, so we are here to eliminate working in silos and increase collaboration “as one” unified group.
Putting digital equity on the map, literally
