Replace site visits with desk-grade 3D data

Every planning team knows the line: physical site surveys are eating our rollout budget and timeline. A truck rolls to a candidate location, a crew measures, and the planning question waits days for an answer that a single trip can only partly settle.

5G makes this worse, not better. Cells reach only 300 to 500m and die on line-of-sight, so blockage by trees and buildings has to be checked location by location. Surveying every one of those by hand does not scale to a national rollout.

It is the first question every RF lead asks, and rightly so. rfMAP is built from high-resolution multi-stereo satellite imagery at sub-meter accuracy, with QA and registration workflows that keep every layer correctly placed. Buildings are modeled as per-building multi-polygons and vegetation is captured in stacked polygons with heights, so the data carries the structure that line-of-sight analysis depends on.

This is authentic geodata, not a flattened basemap. It is the standard that lets planning teams treat a desk analysis as a survey, rather than a guess that still needs the truck.

Most candidate visits collapse into one model the whole team plans against. Line-of-sight, clutter and micro-mapping resolve at the desk, on data that carries the same structure a survey would have measured.

This is the same 3D data RF planning teams rely on across major rollouts. Lepton's 3D dataset underpins more than 95% of India's 5G deployment, and the maps span 128 countries and 3150 cities, so desk-grade analysis holds up at the scale of a national network build.
