Mobile telcos have several financial, operational, and logistical challenges managing the various operational components of their networks. One of the most operational challenging areas of the network are the thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of cell sites that maintain the last mile connections to end users.

By the end of 2023, that number is expected to grow to 9 million.
