Telephia partners with Fryer’s TowerSource
LAS VEGAS—At the Tower Summit & Tradeshow on Oct. 29, 2001, Telephia, a wireless data provider, announced that it was partnering with Fryer’s TowerSource Web site to produce a more comprehensive market deployment resource for tower companies.
Fryer’s Web site will now include Telephia’s Tower Solutions product. With this application tower companies can quickly uncover and evaluate site build and lease opportunities as well as market space on existing sites. Companies will be able to generate reports and maps that identify suitable tower locations and new leasing opportunities in a market.
“Telephia’s carrier coverage analysis brings an independent standard to today’s often fragmented tower search process,” said Jim Fryer, president of Fryer’s TowerSource.
With the mapping software and coverage information, tower companies will also be able to identify locations where multiple carriers have coverage holes, greatly reducing the need to rely on carrier search rings.
“Our coverage analysis eliminates the reliance on individual carrier information that tower companies experience today by providing an accurate, comprehensive view of all of the major carriers within each market,” said Mick Mullagh, Chief executive officer of Telephia.
“Together with Fryer’s we have created a cost effective and comprehensive way for the tower community to optimize its business strategy and maximize ROI,” he said.
