UNSPSC 43222632 Broadband aggregators (Commodity) captures radio frequency infrastructure, equipment, and services that state and local governments procure to enhance wireless communications coverage and connectivity across public facilities and fleets.

Issuing bodies include municipal procurement departments (City of Phoenix), county governments (County of Santa Clara, Hillsborough County, Polk County), school districts (Rockwood School District, School Board of Polk County), state institutions (University of Wisconsin-Madison, Texas A&M University System), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and other participating entities nationwide).
