SCOUT Connectivity Lookup Tool
Speed and accuracy can be the difference between landing the deal and losing it. SCOUT is the industry’s leading tool for checking Connectivity availability across 75+ providers in the US and Canada, all in one place, with direct Provider integrations to ensure the same level of detail you’d get from their own tools. Submit between 1 and 500 addresses via the Portal, or between 1 and 50 addresses via email, and compare Provider options, review current pricing and promotions, and generate client-ready proposals & contracts faster than ever. What used to take hours or days can now be completed within minutes in SCOUT, giving you the competitive edge to know what’s available before anyone else.
