Performance categories are determined through a combination of Fabric Fixed Availability data and commercial speed test results. Unlicensed fixed wireless, geosynchronous satellite orbit (GSO), non-geostationary satellite orbit (NGSO) or low earth orbit (LEO) satellite are not considered in determining the performance category for a given location.

Unserved

• If the FCC considers a location unserved, less than 25/3 Mbps, then the BEAM CPF map will display as unserved. 
• If the FCC considers a location served with speeds greater than 25/3 Mbps but the median speed for both Ookla and Mlab are less than 25/3 Mbps then BEAM CPF map considers that location to be likely unserved. 
• If the FCC considers a location served with speeds greater than 25/3 Mbps but the median speed for either Ookla or Mlab are less than 25/3 Mbps then BEAM CPF map considers that location to be arguably unserved.

Underserved

• If the FCC considers a location underserved and has speed tests from both Ookla and Mlab greater than 25/3 Mbps then the BEAM CPF map will display as underserved. 
• If the FCC considers a location served with speeds greater than 100/20 Mbps but the median speed test for both Ookla and Mlab are less than 100/20 Mbps then the BEAM CPF map considers that location to be likely underserved. 
• If the FCC considers a location served with speeds greater than 100/20 Mbps but the median speed test for either Ookla or Mlab is less than 100/20 Mbps then the BEAM CPF map considers that location to be arguably underserved.

Served

• If the FCC considers a location served, greater than 100/20 Mbps, and the median speed test speed test for both Ookla or Mlab is greater than 100/20 Mbps then the BEAM CPF map will display as served.
