Facilitate Mobile Rollout and Operations in an Increasingly Digital World
Mobile is expected to play a major role in industry digitalization. The rollout of new 5G networks is central to digital transformation efforts and will continue to gain momentum. Managing mobile networks and their new technological characteristics is key to enabling new digital services and tapping into new revenue streams.
Capacity and coverage of mobile networks are two primary concerns in today’s digital economy. Networks need additional bandwidth to enable the flow of massive amounts of data. They also need to reach users and devices (i.e. the “things” of IoT) wherever they are located, with minimal latency and improved energy efficiency. While it is possible to achieve both, it will require network upgrades to accommodate new network architectures and technologies. It will also require additional sites be brought online, configured, and operated.

Use Cases
Major Benefits
- Plan network expansions and rollouts based on accurate as-is documentation
- Create automatic work orders for field teams to execute the planned tasks
- Keep data current by automatically updating the documentation as a result of planning
- Synchronize ERP purchasing activities with planning results and bill of material reports
- Centrally manage configuration data on several layers (as-is, blueprint, planned, etc.) as there are thousands of configuration parameters per site in 4G/5G networks.
- Compare data and create discrepancy reports more efficiently between layers at different times
- Apply rules to analyze, compare and modify configuration data
- Automatically create and archive reports
- Faster identification of configuration changes
- Up-to-date information available to plan and manage repair processes
- On-site activity is supported with access to all relevant data required
- Data enrichment optimizes incident and problem management processes
- Tasks are prioritized in daily operations to avoid SLA breaches
- Dependencies and relations between active and passive devices can be queried immediately

Operators globally are investing tens of billions of dollars in 5G networks and spectrum and have great expectations for future revenue opportunities enabled by the technology. Omdia research forecasts that global 5G services revenue will grow to $540.1bn by 2026. The potential of the technology extends well beyond the mobile industry itself, as 5G is set to become a critical component of the digital economy and the next generation of industrial technology, Industry 4.0. 5G itself needs a set of enabling technologies, including network slicing, automation, and virtualization. Much less covered, however, is the role of resource management in 5G.

Independent towercos, which privately own towers and related assets, are cropping up with increasing frequency. They are infrastructure landlords, providing the site and the site infrastructure to tenants. In a typical towerco deal a third party buys an existing tower from a mobile operator and leases it. Tenants usually include a mix of the original operator, other established players, and newer, small entrants who don’t have the funds to roll out a new network of their own. Achieving specific tenancy ratios is integral to their business success.
