Scalable Spatial Intelligence for Communiations Service Providers Process billions of network events, optimize 5G deployments, and reduce customer churn with spatial SQL and Python with the industry’s most complete and powerful cloud-native spatial data processing engine. REQUEST DEMO SPATIAL COMPUTE OVERVIEW Telecom Companies Trusting Wherobots and Apache Sedona Why Communication Service Providers Choose Wherobots for Spatial Data Processing Network coverage blind spots IoT data explosion Infrastructure silos Site acquisition delays Regulatory reporting burden Network coverage blind spots Industry Challenge How Telecoms Lose Visibility Into Network Coverage Gaps Communication service providers struggle to identify coverage gaps and service quality issues when analyzing billions of call detail records (CDRs). Traditional GIS tools and databases can’t process network events at telecom scale, leaving blind spots in coverage analysis and customer experience optimization. Wherobots Solution How Wherobots Detects Coverage Gaps and Congestion Across 10B+ Network Events Analyze 10+ billion network events simultaneously to detect coverage gaps, predict congestion hotspots, and optimize network capacity in real-time. Wherobots processes spatial queries 20x faster than traditional GIS while reducing computational costs by up to 40%—using familiar tools like SQL and Python. 10B+ Events Processed IoT data explosion Industry Challenge Why Legacy Systems Fail to Process Millions of IoT Device Streams Managing millions of connected devices—including 5G-connected vehicles, smart meters, and industrial sensors—generates continuous location streams and terabytes of location data hourly that legacy systems can’t process, limiting smart city and fleet management capabilities, preventing real-time network optimization and usage-based service offerings. Wherobots solution How Wherobots Processes Millions of IoT Streams for Connected Services Handle data streams from millions of IoT devices efficiently enabling instant insights for connected services. Millions of IoT Streams Processed Infrastructure silos Industry Challenge Why Disconnected Telecom Spatial Data Limits Network Performance Network asset data, customer locations, competitor sites, spectrum allocation, fiber routes, equipment inventory, and terrain models remain disconnected when platforms can’t efficiently integrate diverse spatial datasets at petabyte scale. This requires manual data reconciliation, wastes weeks on data preparation, and delays network planning decisions.. Wherobots solution How Wherobots Unifies Telecom Spatial Assets on a Single Apache Iceberg Platform Consolidate all geospatial assets, from network infrastructure, elevation, physical environmental features, to customer data, on a single Apache Iceberg-based platform with 300+ spatial functions supporting both vector and raster analysis without switching tools. Query across all data types using standard SQL with no data movement or format conversion required. 300+ Spatial Functions Site acquisition delays Industry Challenge Why Manual Tower Site Selection Takes Months for Telecoms Evaluating potential tower sites against zoning, terrain, population, and competitor locations involves manual workflows that stretch site selection to months. Wherobots solution How Wherobots Scores Thousands of 5G Tower Sites Against Spatial Criteria in Seconds Continuously evaluate thousands of candidate locations against multiple spatial criteria simultaneously, ranking sites by coverage potential and ROI in seconds. 99% Faster Selection Regulatory reporting burden Industry Challenge Why FCC Broadband Map Reporting Takes Weeks to Prepare Generating FCC broadband maps and coverage reports requires weeks of data preparation when combining network models with census blocks and address points. Wherobots solution How Wherobots Automates FCC Coverage Reporting with Demographic Boundary Processing Generate regulatory coverage reports automatically by processing network data against demographic boundaries in automated Wherobots Jobs.

COMCAST STORY Frequently Asked Questions: Wherobots for Telecom and 5G Networks How does Wherobots handle the massive scale of telecom data? Wherobots leverages distributed computing with a highly optimized and feature rich version of Apache Sedona to process petabytes of spatial data across clusters. Its serverless architecture automatically scales compute resources based on workload, ensuring consistent performance for analyzing billions of records. It’s optimized for cloud object storage, eliminating data movement bottlenecks. Can Wherobots integrate with our existing telecom data infrastructure and cloud platforms? Yes, Wherobots integrates with major cloud data platforms including AWS, Azure, Google, Snowflake, Databricks, and data lakehouses built on Apache Iceberg or Delta Lake. Our platform reads data directly from your existing storage without requiring data migration, and outputs can be written back to your preferred format for use in downstream applications. What makes Wherobots better than traditional GIS (Geospatial Information Systems) and existing database technologies for 5G planning? Traditional GIS tools and database technologies weren’t designed for the computational complexity of 5G planning. Wherobots can process high-resolution spatial data at massive scale. Our platform completes analyses in seconds or minutes that would take hours or days with conventional tools, all while reducing cost and integrating into the modern data stack. How quickly can we see ROI from implementing Wherobots? Many telecommunications companies see immediate value through faster network planning cycles and reduced computational costs. By accelerating spatial queries by up to 20x, teams can evaluate more scenarios, identify issues faster, and optimize deployments more effectively. Customers typically report 20-40% reduction in spatial processing costs within the first quarter. Does Wherobots support both vector and raster data for network analysis? Yes, Wherobots provides comprehensive support for both vector data (network infrastructure, coverage polygons, customer locations) and raster data (satellite imagery, elevation models, signal strength grids) within the same platform. Our WherobotsAI features enable advanced raster analytics including feature detection in aerial imagery and distributed inference on satellite data. What are the deployment options? Managed cloud by Wherobots, or bring-your-own-cloud/VPC. Get started Ready to learn more about how Wherobots can transform your telco data workflows? Request Demo
