By integrating GIS with operations support and business support systems, telcos and CSPs can access web-based dashboards and conduct network suitability analysis for planning new services.<\/p>\n<p>We successfully resolve challenges for our clients using geospatial data, data models, such as digital terrain model (DTM), vector and cluster data, demographic data. We also use traffic and building maps. We can deliver geospatial analysis at speed and scale, provide insightful visualization solutions, and generate aha moments by combing business and location data.<\/p>\n<p>One project we\u2019ve worked on involved developing web applications evaluating <a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/smart-capex-for-telecom-ai-powered-network-roi-optimization\/\">network capital expenditures (CapEx)<\/a> and increasing profit using historical network analytics and location data. Our client was transforming their business model and needed an effective expense management solution.<\/p>\n<p>Our solution shows network capacity rollout, the potential impact on incremental revenue growth, and the time and cost required. The solution developed flexibly leverages data from different sources, performs automated analysis, makes AI-based predictions, and automates rollout schedules.<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/telecom-network-optimization\/\" class=\"cta-wrap \">\n                    <div class=\"left-col\">\n                        <p class=\"cta-title\">See how we developed an effective telco CapEx web application to make intelligent investment decisions, maximize ROI, and boost business KPIs.<\/p>\n                        <div class=\"cta-block__content\">\n                            <div class=\"description\"><\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                     <span class=\"btn-filled\">Read more<\/span>\n\t\t        <\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Geographic information system (GIS) for the telecom sector: Mapping your way to success<\/h2>\n<p>GIS will make telcos aware of many aspects of modern telecom solutions.
