For Mobile Infrastructure Providers

Find the capacity gaps
that need your infrastructure.

For neutral hosts, small cell operators, tower companies, in-building wireless providers and AltNets — NetworkUX gives you independent, multi-operator evidence of where mobile coverage and performance are falling short. Pick the right sites. Prove the case to operators. Measure the uplift after you deploy.

Where capacity densification pays back

Coverage is everywhere.
Capacity isn’t.

In urban areas, capacity not-spots are far more common than coverage not-spots. Operators’ published maps don’t show them — because at quiet times, the network looks fine. Bring the right data to the right times of day and the case for densification stops being a debate.

NetworkUX shows you exactly where, on which operator, and at what time of day the network is failing users — the evidence operators take seriously when deciding where to lease space on shared infrastructure.

Identify. Prove. Measure.

From the first conversation with a council or landlord to the post-deployment uplift report you send to an operator, NetworkUX runs through the lifecycle of every infrastructure decision.

01

Identify the gaps

Survey a council area, business district, transport corridor or event venue to find exactly where mobile performance is failing — by operator, by time of day, at street level. The candidate sites for your next deployment effectively pick themselves.

02

Prove the case to operators

MNOs see internal data from their own networks. They don’t see what their competitors deliver. NetworkUX gives you independent, like-for-like, multi-operator data — the kind of evidence that turns a leasing conversation from speculation into procurement. The default view renders all four operators side-by-side at 10-metre resolution — the coverage gap on a specific operator is visible at a glance.

03

Measure the uplift

Survey before deployment, survey after deployment. Show your operator customers exactly what improved — in numbers they recognise (dBm and Mbps), at street-level resolution. The strongest argument for the next lease.

In their words

What council customers say after the data lands on the table.

Four direct quotes from three live UK council programmes — Westminster City Council, Manchester City Council and the Tees Valley Combined Authority (plus one of its constituent councils).

“The conversation with mobile-network operators has moved on a lot more. We know where the problem areas are. We can be constructive and collaborative about how we might be able to help them — our aim is to improve the user and visitor experience of people coming to Westminster.”
David Wilkins
Head of Smart City, Westminster City Council

“Overall, the experience of working with the team at NetworkUX and the product delivered was exceptional in quality and delivery. I would recommend NetworkUX to any party interested in gathering data on mobile capacity.”
Megan Lawless
Senior Digital Strategy Officer, Manchester City Council

“Ever wondered why your apps won’t load despite full bars on your phone? That’s exactly what our new Mobile Performance Map is here to solve. It’s already highlighting where coverage is strong — and where it needs to improve — so we can work with providers to fill the gaps and make sure people get the service they pay for.”
Ben Houchen
Tees Valley Mayor

“We’re using our bin wagons to sort more than just our rubbish — we’re sorting rubbish signal out, too. No more guesswork — this will give us hard evidence of problems people who have poor signal know only too well, and arm us to go to providers and government to get it sorted.”

How it works

Drops into your business development and deployment workflows.

From single-target-area scoping to programme-level rollouts — structured for the people doing site acquisition, business development and operator engagement.

  1. Target-area surveys

    Scope the streets, postcodes or city zones you’re considering. NetworkUX surveys every operator, every time of day, and shows you which sub-areas warrant deployment.

  2. Operator-ready evidence packs

    Maps, raw data and PDF reports formatted for MNO conversations. Side-by-side operator comparison. Filtered by time of day. Independent. Defensible.

  3. Before/after measurement

    Identical survey runs before and after each deployment. The uplift in dBm and Mbps is the measurable outcome you take back to the operator paying you.

  4. Programme-level data feeds

    Export to KML, shapefile, JSON, CSV for ingestion into your site-selection systems. Raw data, not just summaries, so your planning team can do their own analysis.

Where NetworkUX is used today

Across every flavour of mobile infrastructure.

The mobile-infrastructure market is broader than a single business model. NetworkUX serves all of it — the unifying need is independent evidence of where the network falls short.

Neutral hosts

Multi-operator evidence of demand to support shared-infrastructure proposals to MNOs.

Small cell operators

Identify the high-footfall, low-capacity blocks where small-cell economics work hardest.

Tower companies

Demand evidence for macro-site applications, renewals and tenant-recruitment conversations.

In-building wireless & DAS

Quantify external-network performance against the indoor environment so the case for an in-building system writes itself.

AltNets & fixed-wireless

Show the gap in cellular performance that your alternative network is positioned to close.

Property & venue owners

Independent evidence of mobile-service quality on your estate — the starting point for an infrastructure conversation with operators or neutral hosts.

Smart city programmes

Underpin densification business cases that need to satisfy both operator and council stakeholders.

Public realm / street furniture

Validate which street assets are sited where mobile performance actually justifies the investment.

How this applies

Three patterns we see across mobile-infrastructure providers.

Three illustrative ways mobile-infrastructure providers put independent multi-operator measurement data to work. The underlying methodology is the same across all three; the commercial framing differs by what each operator type needs to prove and to whom.

Neutral host · City centre

Picking the streets the small cells go on

A neutral host uses NetworkUX surveys across a city centre to identify the specific high-footfall streets where peak-time capacity from every operator is failing — then scopes a multi-operator small-cell deployment around the strongest commercial case. Our Westminster City Council dataset is exactly the kind of multi-operator, time-of-day capacity evidence that supports planning at this granularity.

Tower co · Target geography

Quantifying coverage gaps for site applications

A regional tower company uses NetworkUX street-level coverage and capacity data across a target growth area as the independent evidence behind planning submissions and operator tenant-recruitment conversations — “here is the demand, here is the gap, here is the case for a new site.”

In-building · Major venue

Proving the case for an in-building system

External-network performance measured at venue approach points and adjacent streets establishes the connectivity gap a proposed in-building wireless system would close — the empirical baseline behind an operator conversation about committing to a deployment.
