TowerCos

Nowadays,

Tower Companies  play a crucial role in the telecommunications industry, providing infrastructure and towers to support the network operations of Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). In order to make data-driven decisions and effectively manage their assets, TowerCos require access to geolocalized network data from all MNOs of each market.

This data provides valuable insights of network performance, usage patterns, and capacity requirements. By analyzing this information, TowerCos can promote new lease-up opportunities, identify areas of high demand, and become proactive in proposing future network expansion.

How do we provide this service?


Dashboard

We allow TowerCos to upload their existing site portfolio for comprehensive analysis. This assessment involves evaluating the benefits for MNOs in terms of adding their cellular infrastructure to the TowerCo's current sites.

There are two specific modules for this use-case. The first module generates a Lease-Up analysis with a next-best-action recommendation for each site of the portfolio. The second module focuses on creating visual presentations tailored for MNOs. This presentation visually contrasts their network situation with the current MNO tenant, offering a clear comparison.

Adhoc reports

We offer ad hoc consultancy services for TowerCos requiring specialized lease-up reports for their site portfolio.

Our experienced team will work closely with the TowerCo to gather relevant data, conduct in-depth analysis to support the leasing strategies and produce tailored reports for specific needs.

M&A portfolio analysis

Having a technical due diligence of a potential site portfolio acquisition can greatly help the financial part of the operation by allowing a more precise evaluation.

Dashboard

TowerCos are enabled to assess the current value of their portfolio within the existing tenant network. Additionally, it helps in evaluating the potential for leasing to additional tenants.

By utilizing our tool, TowerCos can conduct technical due diligence and forecast the return on investment for any acquisitions. This data-driven approach empowers TowerCos to bid with a well-informed perspective.

Adhoc reports

Weplan Analytics possesses the information and expertise necessary to aid TowerCos in analyzing portfolios for M&A decisions. This involves estimating the potential tenancy ratios within the acquired portfolios.

This technical due diligence empowers TowerCos to refine their offers and make informed decisions during the acquisition process.

Network densification

Detect sites and areas with high congestion risk (areas that are either congested or have a high probability of getting congested) and require new or additional deployments. By having access to this information TowerCos can be more proactive towards the MNOs and suggest additional deployment that better suits the situation (micros, DAS, macros…).

How do we provide this service?


Dashboard

Weplan Analytics Dashboard uses AI to forecast the likelihood of congestion for each tower and cell, as well as predict if an MNO will likely require additional sites in a particular area. When a congestion risk is identified in a particular area, the TowerCo can generate a detailed report for the Mobile Network Operator. This report includes various performance KPIs, signal strength, signal quality, and other relevant metrics.

This information helps make a case for additional cell installations or even new site deployments.

Adhoc reports

We provide on-demand consultancy services for TowerCos that need specialized assistance with network densification projects.

Our service involves pinpointing specific areas that require attention and creating a comprehensive report for the MNO to showcase the necessity of network densification.

New indoor or special solutions for relevant venues

By detecting venues that have a large amount of traffic with very degraded network situations, Towercos can approach one or more MNOs to propose a special network solution. Once the special solution is deployed a comparison between the previous and after situation can be presented to the MNO and to potential new tenants to create a Lease-up opportunities.

Dashboard

TowerCos gain the ability to swiftly identify venues facing inadequate network coverage. Through an intuitive visualization, TowerCos can seamlessly uncover venues necessitating specialized solutions, along with the underlying factors. Whether attributed to distant cell site placements, building construction materials, or capacity challenges arising from peak demand, these intricacies are brought to the forefront, enabling transparent insights and informed actions.

Adhoc reports

Our ad hoc consultancy aids TowerCos in addressing indoor coverage situations.

Whether identifying venues needing DAS or special solutions, or generating pre-and-post deployment reports to showcase the achieved network enhancements.

New macro sites to BTS (Build to Suit) / BTF (Build to Fit)

In order for TowerCos to become more proactive when approaching their clients, Weplan Analytics tools allow finding places where one or more MNOs are experiencing severe network degradation and it is a relevant area for the MNO clients.

Dashboard

TowerCos Dashboard tools can easily visualize each site location per MNO and see how the signal strength from these sites propagates. Also, TowerCos can do deep-down analysis such as understanding the area covered by each site with the currently deployed frequencies, identify situations that require more carrier cells in an existing tower, or find the spot for a new site deployments.

We provide an array of tools, including relevant KPIs and signal quality metrics, intelligently combined with an analysis of high user-traffic areas. These capabilities empower TowerCos to accurately identify the most suitable deployment strategies and become proactive towards the MNOs.

Adhoc reports

Our experienced team will work closely with the TowerCo team to gather relevant data, conduct in-depth analysis to support the TowerCo’s strategies and assist in commercial approximation to their MNOs.

Revenue Assurance

Each TowerCo typically employs its unique pricing system, often based on factors like the number of sites, frequencies, cells, sectors, or RAN Sharing partnerships. However, monitoring the broadcasting signals from each site can be a challenging and costly endeavor. In today's context, revenue assurance holds an unprecedented significance. The ability for operators to engage in RAN-sharing agreements means that, even without installing new hardware at a site, multiple operators can coexist. Moreover, Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) enables the incorporation of additional technologies like 5G without the need to deploy new cells.

Dashboard

Based on our crowdsourced network data, our solution detects which MNOs are broadcasting from each site, providing insights into the number of cells, technologies, frequencies, and bands in use at each location. Additionally, it can detect instances of RAN sharing, including MOCN (Multi-Operator Core Network) and MORAN (Multi-Operator Radio Access Network), as well as Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS), and even ghost equipment detection. All this functionality allows TowerCos to verify that their tenants are being correctly billed, comparing our information with their internal inventory.

Adhoc reports

We offer ad hoc consultancy services for TowerCos requiring specialized revenue assurance reports for their site portfolio. Our experienced team will work closely with the TowerCo to gather the relevant data, conduct in-depth analysis in order to support the revenue assurance strategies and produce tailored reports for specific needs.

Site consolidation

If a TowerCo is evaluating the possibility of acquiring a new portfolio, or has recently done it, it is possible to detect which sites are complementary (in terms of network coverage) and which ones could be dismantled while maintaining a comparable coverage for each MNO.
