Abstract

A computer-implemented method of performing economic analyses on cellular networks. The method includes receiving a user selection of a threshold service level corresponding to a network criterion associated with a geographic region. The method includes determining a network architecture that satisfies the threshold service level under conditions of a network service projection based on a growth projection for the geographical region, wherein the network architecture includes at least one base station and at least one fixed wireless device. Each fixed wireless device communicating with a base station of the at least one base station via millimeter wave (mmWave) technology. The method includes generating a network architecture report indicating the network architecture that satisfies the threshold service level that includes visual representations of the network architecture.
