The problem

Capacity plans often start from utilisation thresholds. When a cell crosses the line, the default answer is more hardware, even when a parameter change or another carrier would have done the job.

Forecasts live in spreadsheets, so congestion is usually found when users already feel it.

what an engineer can ask:

Which cells in Madrid will be congested in the next twelve months, and what is the cheapest fix for each?

what comes back:

A list of cells with the forecast congestion date, the proposed fix (parameter, carrier or site) and its cost, ordered by impact on users.

Frequently asked questions

Does it always recommend a new site?

No. A new site is proposed only when a parameter change or a new carrier will not solve the congestion.

How far ahead does it forecast?

Twelve months, per cell, based on traffic history and seasonality.

Which vendors and technologies does it support?

All major vendors and technologies, from 2G to 5G. The data from every vendor in your network is brought into one model before the agents work on it.

Does the platform change anything on the network by itself?

No. The agents forecast and propose. Your engineers decide, and changes go through your own systems.
