DanielCampion··on Launch HN: Exams, tasks, K8, eCommerce, cell sites, health, data quality, travel
Thanks, jamestimmins. We appreciate it! As we grow, we will be releasing learnings/white papers from the market including what site characteristics are the most sought after for various site types. The general rule of thumb with sites are: Rooftop - taller than the surrounding buildings, flat roof with easy access, power and fiber access, long line of site over population areas and/or beside areas of high concentrated footfall (eg campus, stadia, convention centres) Tower - land that is raised vs the surrounding area, close to a population area or major road network (eg beside an interchange on a highway)

Delighted to hear you agree! It's been a pain for operators in every market I've worked in so it's not a small problem but starting on HN is a good first step. Send me a DM and we'd love to chat. We've launched in the UK and gathering supply/demand for US so let's chat and see how we can help

Thanks jedberg. You can submit you land to the platform and our radio team will assess it for viability. All going well, you can absolutely manage one site or an entire portfolio

Hey HN! We’re Daniel and Brian from Sitenna (https://sitenna.com/). Sitenna is a marketplace connecting wireless carriers, tower providers and real estate owners. Think booking.com for telecom cell sites. Currently, it takes wireless telecom carriers up to 24 months to deploy a site because the process is based on screenshots, maps, emails, PDFs and spreadsheets. This is a particular issue with the advent of 5G which requires x6-10 (depending on which analyst you believe!) more cell sites in the network.

We use maps and workflow tools to reduce the time it takes to deploy a new site by up to 75%, saving tens of thousands of dollars. Wireless carrier radio planners can easily search, identify and acquire sites for deploying antennae whilst the tower providers and real estate owners can market and monetise their assets to the telecom market.

I (Daniel) have worked in telecoms my whole career and worked in more than 30 countries. The same issue exists in every market so there is a rather big opportunity ($40B is spend on wireless infrastructure globally per year!) if we can get some solid product market fit. We’d love to speak to any of you that are curious about what we’re doing or if you have any ideas/challenges for us.
