VCTI Increases Accuracy and Speed of Network Planning with New Capabilities

Leveraging PoleIQ, VCTI was able to determine that the true number was 28 percent viable for aerial deployment. Given the size and geography of the deployment, it would have taken a team of two people more than 70 days to physically inspect the entire route. Using PoleIQ, VCTI could save the service provider more than four weeks’ worth of man-hours and more than $100,000 in physical inspection costs. In addition, the new data on aerial deployments enabled more than $2M in deployment cost savings.

Broadband Investment Optimization Service 
VCTI’s Broadband Investment Optimization Service identifies the viable technology options with economic analysis in targeted areas to help service providers prioritize infrastructure investment and strengthen collaboration with local governments for public/private partnerships. VCTI determines underserved and serviceable households and communities in targeted expansion areas within or tangential to the provider’s current footprint using machine learning technology, highly accurate location data, mapping services, and infrastructure information. Once the targeted areas are determined, the service identifies all the technological options available. VCTI’s sophisticated design algorithms rapidly design wireline, wireless or hybrid networks to optimize the number of households and businesses the provider can reach with each investment. Targeted areas for expansion, available technology options, and economic analysis are identified to help service providers make long-term investment decisions.
