Shire Consulting offers pre-rollout support services to vendors, consortia and outsourcers that plan to deploy and or operate wireless networks.

Our services range from preparing the pre-qualification and tender bids for wireless infrastructure deployments to identification of suppliers and research identifying available sites in geographic regions to optimise radio coverage and backhaul planning.

The early identification of suitable site locations is key to the success of any wireless deployment and to the operating performance of the network.

Shire Consulting's experience of radio propagation, coverage and network performance is coupled to geographic and written data. This includes, in the UK for example, the Planning Authorities' local development plans, SSSI's, Conservation areas and knowledge of existing site approvals and refusals. This has enabled the prompt identification of key locations that best balance technical need with regulations, environmental policies and other relevant stakeholder issues.

Our services include:

• advising network planners
• desktop mapping
• town planning consultations
• power availability assessment
• backhaul planning
• pre-qualifying suppliers
• tender bids
