PreQualify
customers using Google Earth™
We have developed
a method to create Google Earth™
compatible files to show your transmitter coverage area which then
functions as a customer prequalification tool. This allows
you to interactively see where your signal works and where it does not.
In the Google Earth™
search tool you can look up a specific street address and have it zoom
to that location. With your transmitter coverage area map already
loaded, you can clearly see if you can serve this location. This system
works so fast you can tell a potential customer if they are served while
they are still on the phone! It allows you to close sales
with the first call. Existing WISP's who use this system claim immediate
benefits. They are able to schedule installations without doing a site
survey and have reduced their "no-go" install rates significantly.

Below are testimonials from network operators who are using the system:
"It’s been a
huge asset to our organization. Every prospect is now run
though Google earth and pre-qualified. The number of truck
rolls to customers outside our coverage areas are almost
nonexistent now. Our install crews are now installing 4 or
five, each, a day. Previously they were getting 50% no go’s.
We still are challenged with trees but at least we can, with
confidence, tell the customer to build a tower that reaches
above the tree line and we would be able to get them service at
a later date. They are very happy with that level of
professionalism. We’re going to hit 200 installs this month
which is a 100% increase over last.
Our install field crews either have cellular phone Internet (1X)
technology or they call into the office with their current GPS
location and ask for tower direction advice. From there they
are better equipped with the knowledge to select the best tower
location for each customer by turning on an off the overlays of
the surrounding towers. I’ve also created an overlay with each
tower’s technology type so the installers can select the correct
Motorola equipment that is being sent in their direction.
Previously they didn’t know if tower A had 2.4, 5.7, 5.2 or
900Mhz technology. It was a complete waste of time and effort
figuring that out. Now they are in and out in under two hours
per install.
We do a lot
of tradeshows lately and we bring our projector and a laptop.
It’s an attention grabber for customers to see us zooming in and
out of the areas while talking with other potential customers
about their homes in our coverage area. They line up at the
booth and ask many questions about our services. They walk away
as a customer or with information to give to their friends or
families living in our coverage path.
So yes, very
happy with your map integration into Google earth! Please don’t
increase your pricing <grin>."

"We spent the
money on it and have seen a huge improvement in take rate. We went
from a average of 1.5 installs per day to doing 4.5 installs per
day. Now please understand
we also went from 4 tower sites to 16, but we also deployed the new
tower sites in areas that already had High-speed via DSL, Cable,
Wireless or all of the above. We found that by targeting our
marketing dollars towards people we were 95% sure we could get, and
then also being able to prequalify wireless customers via the Google earth map when
they called in and schedule them on the spot, with the first call
our no call back rate went to almost 0.
Was it expensive,
depends on how you value business growth. Has it paid off, yes."

When building a wireless broadband network, determining the range of
your system has always been the most challenging. Wirelessmapping.com
can offer an answer to those questions in a result that you can
actually see (click
here for an example).
This page was created
specifically for the Motorola Canopy
Wireless Internet Platform. Our company can help plan your network coverage and
evaluate
the financial viability of your sites. All of this is done before you
start construction or expend capital. Here are some of the ways we can
help your business.
-
Plot a radio
network coverage map based on your site locations, antenna mounting
height, Customer Premise Equipment, antenna selection, and the
local terrain.
-
Based on the results
of the map, a
demographic can be produced that tells the
population, number of households and the zip codes for the
area your transmitter covers.
-
Plug these raw
numbers in to your business plan to see if the site has the
potential to make a profit. All done before you
build your site.
-
By purchasing
commercial mailing lists we can also determine exactly who
you can reach in business and residential customers.
-
You get to see the maximum number
of potential customers for each site and plan your network
capacity requirements in advance. No guesswork.
-
Advanced Market studies which
show the DSL and Cable coverage areas can be produced.
In addition to the basic
reports, a separate map can be created to show the areas served when
using an antenna reflector unit on the CPE. The final results can be
used on your web site or in print media to show your service area.
For backhaul
requirements detailed point
to point studies with high reliability percentages are
available (up to 99.999%). Using the same techniques, path studies to
individual customer locations are possible. For potential subscribers
in your fringe area, this feature will save you unnecessary trips for
testing purposes.
Our
Geographic Information
System (GIS) can take an existing customer list and highlight those
who fall within your wireless service footprint. This feature can save
an enormous amount of marketing energy.
