Infrastructure and planning

Infrastructure and network planning within the wireless market can be greatly assisted by geographic intelligence. Businesses can reliably assess the practicalities of installing masts in a specific location remotely rather than spending time and money surveying unsuitable sites.

Ordnance Survey data can help you visualise potential planning complications, whether negotiating man-made or planned obstructions, optimising networks in poor signal areas or minimising the visual impact of new masts by evaluating their geographical context.

As an emerging market, wireless is a competitive industry incurring a wealth of set-up costs. The use of Ordnance Survey’s geographic data together with your and third party data sets can help facilitate remote risk assessments with confidence in data accuracy. Implementing geographic information can enhance business efficiencies, operative management and data alignment as well as perform efficient external data exchange. Customer service is also boosted, targeting communications and improving the speed of dealing with enquiries.
