Together, the companies provide communication
service providers and telco planners with a new, cutting-edge
network digital twin to access accurate and detailed information on
a global scale
HEAVY.AI, an innovator in advanced analytics, today announced it
is expanding its collaboration with NVIDIA to include global
management consulting firm Bain & Company and Maxar, a provider
of comprehensive space solutions and secure, precise, geospatial
intelligence. This collaboration will provide communication service
providers (CSPs) with faster and more accurate tools for
determining antenna placements, assuring optimal signal coverage
and enabling greater efficiencies in network deployments.

This expands on HEAVY.AI’s existing endeavor with NVIDIA, which
includes HEAVY.AI’s HeavyRF solution built on the NVIDIA Omniverse
platform announced last fall. The addition of Bain and Maxar will
further streamline telco deployments by creating more accurate and
detailed digital twins faster.
“By connecting the diverse data streams from Maxar, Bain’s
integrated expertise and coupling them with the compute power from
HEAVY.AI and NVIDIA, this collaboration enables telcos to make
nationwide business decisions through a single screen with
up-to-the-minute insights,” said Jon Kondo, CEO of HEAVY.AI. “This
ensures telcos are making the best business decisions that serve
not only their regional needs but national strategy as well.”
Leveraging Maxar’s high-resolution Precision3D geodata built
from its industry-leading satellite imagery, NVIDIA Omniverse and
Bain’s extensive domain knowledge and data-driven insights, CSP
planners now have access to network digital twins that provide
next-level insights to drive business decisions. HeavyRF enables
customers to model signal propagation on top of Maxar’s
high-resolution 50 centimeter clutter height data interactively at
a regional, national or global scale, delivering unprecedented
possibilities for telecommunications planning across the globe.
This means planners can simulate future cell sites, enabling them
to choose the best location based on coverage achieved. Digital
twin simulations help telcos save time and money by optimizing the
planning process and improving the quality of decision-making,
ultimately maximizing their return on invested capital.
By improving the resolution, accuracy and speed of the data
collection and analysis process, HeavyRF revolutionizes telcos’
access to reliable historic and real-time network performance data
and insights. When Maxar’s Precision3D geodata is combined with
Bain’s demographic and behavioral data expertise, and supercharged
by HEAVY.AI and NVIDIA’s compute power, telcos can improve and
accelerate business decision-making without delays resulting from
batch data deliveries and increased compute requirements for these
simulation applications.
“Communication service provider planners have previously been
challenged by a lack of easily accessible data that conveys the
nuances of the built and natural environments on Earth. Maxar’s
Precision3D geodata serves as a high-resolution digital twin of
Earth, enabling signal propagation and cell site placement to be
accurately simulated,” said Dan Nord, Maxar’s SVP and GM of
Enterprise Earth Intelligence. “Other RF software programs can’t
handle the weight of our 3D geodata at this resolution, resulting
in an extremely lengthy processing time. The collaboration between
Maxar, Bain, NVIDIA and HEAVY.AI solves this challenge for telcos.
HeavyRF, built on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform, allows us to
continue unlocking the promise of space to help solve problems on
Earth.”
Without reliable data during the planning phase, it can be
difficult for telcos to guarantee network investments will deliver
at scale throughout their lifetime. Having access to network
digital twins provides accurate sources of data during this
critical phase, ensures that consumers have stable service for
years to come, and mitigates additional costly capital expenditure
reinvestments in that area.
“Telcos need a new, more accurate way to tackle their tower and
microcell planning needs,” said Chris Penrose, global head of
business development for telco at NVIDIA. “Our groundbreaking
collaboration with HEAVY.AI, Bain and Maxar will enable planners to
tackle challenging settings, like multi-tiered urban structures and
heavily vegetated locations, as well as use information from other
datasets to create the best possible network design.”
“We are privileged to collaborate with these fellow industry
leaders and shape the future of telco planning,” said Darryn Lowe
at Bain. “With these advanced analytics combined with our
data-driven insights, telcos can discover new market growth
opportunities, as well as avoid potentially expensive errors in
business decisions.”
“Telcos have the monumental challenge of swiftly analyzing
voluminous information to make superior business decisions. They
now have access to instantaneous and precise data that guarantees
exceptional coverage – leading to highly satisfied customers and
increased profitability,” said Kondo.

Congress Barcelona 2023 (Hall 4 Stand 4B16) by signing up for a
demo.
