Built as a network life-cycle platform ANP allows coverage and capacity analysis for multiple bands (CBRS, 6GHz, 5GHz with other bands in development) to be used intuitively by both business and network operations stakeholders to efficiently:

• Qualify addresses for target deployments with signal strength and serviceable data-rates, line-of-sight analysis, spectrum availability, channel quality, existing service provider and competitive data (BEAD, RDOF, CAF2, ILEC) all in one place.
• Plan and deploy with detailed tower and receiver-site or “roof-top” analysis for target homes to optimize deployment locations and customer performance.

Make informed decisions, enhance service delivery and ultimately improve customer satisfaction.

PRE-DEPLOYMENT PLANNING

Tower Evaluator

Identify Ideal Tower Locations and Radio Placements

Avoid unnecessary or poorly placed infrastructure. Use ANP to accurately simulate coverage and optimize tower locations including the exact placement of base stations and APs on the tower. Minimize the overall number of towers needed while enhancing coverage, and access statistics to balance broad customer reach with high service quality.

Real-world Visualizations to 1 Meter Accuracy

• Advanced RF modeling
• High-resolution LiDAR geospatial technology
• LOS/NLOS signal path analysis

LIFECYCLE PLANNING

Coverage IQ

Gain Actionable Intelligence to Plan, Deploy and Optimize Across the Full Network Lifecycle

Coverage IQ is a unified planning environment delivering a single-pane-of-glass view across infrastructure, spectrum, demographics, and planned deployments. Coverage analysis and capacity simulations are transformed into actionable deployment intelligence by integrating market, competitive, and network data directly into the planning workflow. Coverage IQ delivers a comprehensive view to guide smarter planning decisions, enabling operators to move from analysis to execution with confidence.

• AI-driven RF coverage and capacity simulations
• Live shared spectrum availability (CBRS, 6 GHz)
• Market and competitive insights
• Address-level serviceability insights
• Infrastructure, tower and asset visibility
• Funding and regulatory context

Accelerate Site Selection & Design: Integrated tower and infrastructure data allows planners to identify candidate sites, instantly create simulations within ANP, and optimize network design with real-time feedback—reducing planning cycles and deployment risk.

Seamless ANP Integration: Fully embedded within ANP, Coverage IQ enables users to import assets, analyze existing infrastructure, and run coverage and capacity studies using live CBRS SAS and AFC data—ensuring real-time, spectrum-aware planning across the lifecycle.

DEPLOYMENT & OPERATIONS PHASE

Customer Site Optimizer with per-Home Analysis

Validate Installation Locations, Identify Requirements and Optimize Configurations

The per-home, or per-receiver, site analysis is a powerful feature to accurately assess the available coverage and download speeds at customer locations of interest. The results are specific to OEM radio equipment configuration performance that considers advanced MIMO and other techniques—accurately capturing the service each customer can get from a given network deployment.

The intelligence to recommend tailored service packages through detailed and accurate signal visualizations and user-friendly interface that empowers informed decisions.

Streamline Equipment Preparation: Ensure the right mounts, cabling, grounding, power sources, and tools are prepared for each site.

Optimize Antenna Placement: Find the best antenna positions, ensuring line-of-sight where possible and minimizing obstructions.

LOS Analysis per Home: Analyze LOS path profile for each site and its devices at different candidate heights (e.g. above ground, above rooftop)

DEPLOYMENT & OPERATIONS PHASE

Network Optimizer

Conduct Advanced Analyses for Dynamic Management

AI-based auto-planning, auto-optimization and predictive analytics planned ANP capabilities to streamline shared spectrum management and deliver actionable data insights that identify coverage gaps, recommend frequency changes, and improve connectivity.

Identify and Avoid Potential Issues: Find optimal antenna positions, ensuring line-of-sight where possible and minimizing obstructions.

Ensure Consistent Service Quality: Maintain consistent network performance while adhering to regulatory guidelines for both CBRS and 6 GHz spectrum sharing.

DEPLOYMENT & OPERATIONS PHASE

FCC BDC Reporter

Ensure Compliance and Meet Reporting Requirements

Shared spectrum operators must comply with FCC regulations and submit biannual Broadband Data Collection (BDC) reports. ANP simplifies regulatory compliance by automating BDC reporting with highly accurate radio frequency coverage predictions and the integration of FCC’s Serviceable Location Fabric.

By streamlining link budget calculations and complete coverage assessments, ANP ensures regulatory standards are reliably met while reducing the time and effort needed for BDC submissions. ANP also helps verify networks are built to meet the high standards required for NTIA BEAD-funded projects.

Simplify Reporting: ANP automates required data collection and export processes for easy submission of BDC information in compliance with FCC standards.
