The Challenge

RAN planning is still running on spreadsheets and gut feel

Network engineers spend weeks extracting coverage data from one tool, traffic forecasts from another, and competitor intelligence from a third - then reconciling them manually in spreadsheets. By the time a plan reaches the investment committee, the data is already stale and the rationale is impossible to audit.

The result is CapEx allocated to sites that look good on paper but underperform in the field: wrong locations, wrong technology, wrong timing. Meanwhile, the pockets of genuine unmet demand go unspotted.

Full Capability Set

Everything you need to plan, justify, and execute your RAN investments

Demand Forecasting
Predict traffic before you build
Predict where traffic will grow before you commit CapEx. The model fuses historical usage patterns, new housing and commercial development pipelines, event calendars, and subscriber growth projections into forward-looking demand surfaces at 100m resolution.
12- and 36-month traffic forecasts at grid cell level
New development pipeline integration (housing, malls, stadiums)
Seasonal and event-driven demand spikes modeled
5G upgrade trigger thresholds by cell and sector
Rollout Optimization
Sequence builds for maximum impact
Given a fixed budget and timeline, the optimizer produces a sequenced build plan that maximizes cumulative population coverage and revenue uplift across every phase - balancing quick wins against strategic longer-term positions.
Multi-phase rollout sequencing under budget constraints
Interdependency modeling between site builds
Contractor capacity and permit lead time integration
Scenario comparison: aggressive vs conservative rollout paths
Investment Prioritization
Rank sites by ROI and strategic value
Every candidate site gets a composite AI score built from demand uplift, coverage gap filled, competitive positioning, build cost, and projected subscriber acquisition. Scores are fully auditable, making investment committee sign-off straightforward.
Multi-factor site scoring with configurable weights
ROI projection per site at 12, 24, and 36 months
Full factor-level explainability for each score

Case Study
Telecom - APAC

How a leading APAC operator cut RAN planning time by 78% and reallocated $40M in CapEx

A tier-1 mobile operator across Southeast Asia was running 14-week planning cycles that consistently produced misallocated CapEx. Locatium's RAN module replaced the process in 90 days.
