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.

Our solutions
Lease up
Weplan Analytics specializes in providing TowerCos with the necessary tools to create compelling lease-up opportunity presentations tailored for each MNO. These tools effectively showcase the potential improvements that a new site location can offer to each MNO.
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.

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.

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.
