Telecom providers can streamline their operations by integrating property data into their asset management systems. This ensures more efficient maintenance, reduces downtime, and improves overall service quality.

  • Improved Network Expansion with Precise Data: Access to accurate geospatial and property data helps telecom companies confidently plan and execute network expansions, ensuring optimal placement of towers and fiber networks.
  • Efficient Asset and Infrastructure Managements: By leveraging LightBox’s data solutions, telecom providers can better manage their infrastructure and assets, reducing downtime and improving the reliability of their services.
  • Streamlined Easement and Compliance Management: Detailed property and regulatory data help telecom companies manage easements and rights-of-way, ensuring compliance with local laws and avoiding costly delays during deployment.

Wireless Asset Site Selection

Utilize LightBox Zoning Data

LightBox zoning data can help you find what a property is zoned for, zoning districts, permitted uses, setback requirements, floor area ratio (FAR), building height, and more.

Telecom companies can use permitted use to find properties that allow wireless asset placement such as cell towers.

Join LightBox Parcel and Zoning data

LightBox Zoning data can be joined to parcel data via the LightBox ID (LID). This joining allows users to search for parcels where the permitted use (from zoning ordinance) contains communication towers.

Site Selection

The map shows parcels where the permitted use allows for communications towers:

"PERMITTED USES INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: COMMUNICATIONS TOWER, PARK & OPEN SPACE"

Tax Processing Management

Manage sales and use tax

Telecom customers can utilize LightBox Address data to understand the number of customers in a sales and use tax district.

Example: In order to calculate the local communication service tax for Tampa Florida, Telecom companies can use LightBox's Address Fabric to determine the number of customers in the tax district.

Calculating Taxes per tax district

For example, the local communication service tax in Hillsborough County Florida is $0.11 cents per month. The map is showing the number of customers per jurisdictional boundary.

$0.11 x 12 (months) x 99,846 (customers) = $131,797 / year

This telecommunications company now understands they owe $131,797 for the local communication service tax for the annual tax year.
