Solutions

Mobile operators have thousands of tower sites spread across multiple geographies. Each of these sites has its own passive infrastructure setup and operation cost in terms of rent, location, power consumption, fuel used, equipment installed, etc.

Multiple operators share the same tower site for installation of their active equipment, and apportion the cost of operation between themselves. This monthly billing is handled by the company managing the site.

To calculate the monthly billing for each site, operators rely on manual processes, or billing systems from other industries that have been tweaked to cater to tower billing needs. Multiple teams have to be deployed in order to get the invoicing done on time. This is an expensive, time consuming and error prone process

Key Challenges

• Peculiar environmental challenges and variable costs of tower sites
• Complex processes for billing operators
• Low reliability of process, and need for rigorous RA validation
• Long billing cycle times leads to huge capital blocked for larger period
• High turnaround time in handling change requests
• Inability to generate selective bills and handle multiple invoice formats
• Lack of flexibility to support different agreements with different operator even at same site
