Telecommunications

We help telecom operators with planning, optimisation, and monitoring. Solutions include high-resolution Digital Surface Models, AI-powered network planning and optimisation software, coverage estimation, ROI analysis, and EO-based monitoring tools.

Telecommunications
Introduction

As demand for connectivity continues to grow, telecom operators and tower companies need better tools to plan networks, prioritise investments, and optimise coverage. Traditional planning approaches are often expensive, fragmented, and dependent on outdated terrain and infrastructure data. At SPACE-SHIP, we support telecom operators, tower companies, and infrastructure owners with high-resolution elevation models, AI-powered planning tools, coverage estimation, ROI analysis, and EO-based monitoring solutions. By combining Earth Observation, geospatial analysis, and AI, we help clients plan, optimise, and manage telecom infrastructure more efficiently.

Our Expertise

Our team combines expertise in telecom infrastructure, Earth Observation, AI, and geospatial analysis to support operators and tower companies with smarter planning and monitoring tools. We provide high-resolution Digital Surface Models and Digital Terrain Models, AI-powered coverage estimation and optimisation software, ROI analysis, and EO-based solutions for site monitoring, vegetation analysis, accessibility planning, and infrastructure change detection. We can also work alongside internal technical teams to integrate with existing planning software, GIS tools, and operational systems.

Our Solutions

We build tailored solutions around the specific needs of each client, rather than forcing a generic platform. From coverage planning and investment prioritisation to infrastructure monitoring and operational support, our tools help telecom stakeholders make faster, more informed decisions across planning, operations, and commercial teams.

High-Resolution DSM and DTM Products

We provide high-resolution Digital Surface Models and Digital Terrain Models for telecom planning and optimisation. These can be delivered for selected regions or entire countries, with update frequencies tailored to client needs and outputs compatible with standard industry formats such as GeoTIFF and TIFF.

AI-Powered Planning and Optimisation Software

Our cloud-based software SiteWise helps operators with network planning, coverage estimation, ROI analysis, and AI-powered optimisation. The platform supports scenario testing, investment prioritisation, and smarter rollout decisions across urban and rural environments.

EO-Based Site Monitoring

We develop EO-based monitoring tools for tower sites and telecom infrastructure, including vegetation growth analysis, encroachment detection, accessibility planning, and infrastructure change monitoring. These tools help reduce unnecessary site visits and improve operational planning.

Integration and Custom Development

We work alongside internal teams to integrate our tools into existing GIS platforms, planning software, and operational systems. We can also develop custom dashboards, APIs, and workflows tailored to specific network, regulatory, or reporting requirements.
