Site selection and coverage evidence for mobile infrastructure providers
From search ring to signed tenancy — the coverage-gap evidence, licence intelligence and field verification that get a build-to-suit or Black Spot site over the line.
Prove the gap before you build
A build-to-suit business case, an MNO coverage objective, or a Mobile Black Spot Program bid all turn on the same question: how many premises, which roads, and how bad is it today? Maptino Connectivity answers that at the individual-premises level across an LGA or a defined area of interest — every address scored, ranked worst-first, mapped against each carrier’s published footprint. The demand side of the site justification, in a form an MNO’s planning team and a grant assessor will both accept.
Where the model and the carrier’s map disagree, Maptino’s drive-test tools settle it with measured signal — see Verify it in the field below.
Know who’s already there
RFMapper ACMA Spectrum Mapping puts the ACMA Register of Radiocommunications Licences on an interactive map: apparatus and area-wide licences, holders, frequencies, expiries, updated as ACMA publishes. Point at a candidate and see every licensed site and holder within reach; highlight one carrier and see their footprint; check what’s expiring. Colocation prospecting and competitor tenancy mapping from a register that was never built to be read this way.
Verify it in the field — without the vendor kit
Maptino Drive Test logs professional-grade 4G and 5G measurements — RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, PCI, EARFCN/ARFCN, carrier aggregation, gNB/eNB IDs — from an unrooted Android phone. GPS-fused, unified CSV, straight into RFMapper Desktop Analysis for carrier splitting, drop-out zones and a client-ready report. Drive Planner builds the route from OpenStreetMap and tracks coverage as you drive. Pre-build baselines, post-build acceptance, contested-site evidence — at a fraction of the cost of a scanner-based rig.
Frequently asked questions
- Can Maptino produce evidence for a Mobile Black Spot Program bid?
- Yes — premises-level coverage-gap analysis, ranked locations and map exports, with the methodology documented. The same evidence councils use to endorse a site as a local priority.
- Does the ACMA tool replace the ACMA register?
- No — it reads it. The register is the source of truth; Maptino makes it searchable on a map and updates as ACMA publishes.
- Do you do the drive test, or license the tools?
- Either. Tools are licensed for your own field teams; surveys are also delivered as a service — see Services.
- Is drive-test data from a phone accepted for site justification?
- The report presents what was measured — RSRP, RSRQ, SINR and serving cell per sample, GPS-fused, with the device, route and method documented — so an assessor can judge it on its terms. Acceptance criteria vary by carrier and by program; we don’t claim a blanket acceptance.
- Who else uses this?
- Australian councils and a licensed carrier.
