Operators looking to accelerate technological improvements or rapidly grow their networks are turning to sharing agreements or look for a partner to merge with. Metricell acts as a strategic partner with a service designed to provide clarity, optimise investments and ensure smooth operational continuity.
Metricell supports mobile network operators throughout each phase of network merger and sharing projects. These projects often involve complex choices around site rationalisation, infrastructure integration and service continuity, particularly during the rollout of 5G.
At the core of our network merger and sharing service is our team of over 40 experienced radio planning engineers. These specialists work directly with operator teams to assess co-located and overlapping sites, develop single grid plans and guide infrastructure decisions.
Supporting our engineering team is Metricell’s advanced geospatial software modules built into our SmartTools platform. These tools enables operators to model the impact of retaining or removing specific cell sites to visualise consolidation scenarios in detail. The platform also enables teams to accurately compare network performance before and after infrastructure changes, providing clear insight into the impact of merger or sharing agreements.
Our proven approach supports merger and sharing projects worldwide, helping operators build scalable, future-ready networks without compromising service quality.
