Planners can perform site selection and network designs remotely with the use of HERE Geodata Models, and HERE 3D Cities which provide detailed views of a city’s buildings, road furniture and foliage. These data sets can be integrated into digital network planning tools to provide the visualisation necessary to plan, design and build 5G networks. Remote capability can help planners identify the best site, saving businesses time and operational costs by reducing required survey crews and travel time.

Through HERE 3D Cities and HERE Geodata Models, planners can streamline the workflows and planning required for an entire wireless network, potentially reducing operational costs by up to 40%.

Cities need to accommodate an increasing population while ensuring the safety and maintenance of roads and infrastructure.

Using the HERE Maps, utility and telecommunication maintenance workers can address critical fault areas with topography data across an entire network.

This visualisation can alleviate reactive maintenance of infrastructure assets and instead focus on preventative and predictive prioritisation of maintenance areas for safety and compliance. This mitigates infrastructure risks to their workers and citizens.

Further, infrastructure management on road networks can become cumbersome on citizens and businesses. Through understanding how the traffic flows and points of congestion around areas, planners can have the contextual awareness to make informed decisions around road infrastructure upgrades and changes and improve future mobility through cities.

Utilities and telecommunications businesses are constantly working to keep their assets and networks performing at peak levels. To enable this, they employ field service teams to maintain and upgrade networks and attend reported incidents. Managing these teams and ensuring they operate in the most efficient manner is a role Next Mile can help fill through helping customers combine and leverage HERE API’s to build custom solutions.

Using mobile applications that have accurate positioning capabilities, field workforce personnel can have field jobs assigned to them dynamically as incidents are reported. The optimal team based on distance and vehicles types that can access the site can then be selected based on real-time traffic information from HERE Traffic. This reduces the schedule lag, transport costs and emissions.
