Wireless spectrum valuation

A computer system comprising:

• an interface configured to receive input data comprising a population density threshold, a cell site utilization threshold, a carrier threshold, population data, a cell site range, average busy hour usage data, and market penetration data;
• a processing system configured to process the input data to identify a geographic area having a population density greater than the population density threshold, calculate a number of cell sites required for an initial deployment in the identified geographic area, and calculate a first number of subscribers per cell site;
• if the first number of subscribers per cell site is greater than the cell site utilization threshold, then the processing system further configured to calculate an additional number of cell sites required for the initial deployment, and then calculate a second number of subscribers per cell site;
• the processing system further configured to calculate a number of carriers required per cell site, calculate a cost of the initial deployment based on the number of cell sites required and the number of carriers required, and calculate a value of a wireless spectrum based on the cost of the initial deployment;
• and
• the interface further configured to display the identified geographic area, display the cell sites required for the initial deployment, and display the value of the wireless spectrum.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon for operating a computer system to determine a value of a wireless spectrum, wherein the instructions, when executed by the computer system, direct the system to:

• receive input data comprising a population density threshold, a cell site utilization threshold, a carrier threshold, population data, a cell site range, average busy hour usage data, and market penetration data;
• process the input data to identify and display a geographic area having a population density greater than the population density threshold, calculate and display a number of cell sites required for an initial deployment in the identified geographic area, and calculate a first number of subscribers per cell site;
• if the first number of subscribers per cell site is greater than the cell site utilization threshold, then calculate and display an additional number of cell sites required for the initial deployment, and then calculate a second number of subscribers per cell site;
• and
• calculate the number of carriers required per cell site, calculate a cost for the initial deployment based on the number of cell sites required and the number of carriers required, and calculate and display the value of the wireless spectrum based on the cost of the initial deployment.
