The five questions every network planning team asks first.
Coverage-gap intelligence for telecom is a new category — so we hear the same five questions from every carrier evaluation. Data freshness, mismatch-score methodology, who is already using TowerScope today, pricing and tier licensing, and the bulk enterprise path for network teams. Direct answers, no marketing.
Carrier questions, answered.
How often is the coverage-gap dataset refreshed?
TowerScope runs a weekly refresh that pulls carrier coverage snapshots, DOT AADT counts, and population growth estimates into the corridor dataset. The map your network planning team sees on Monday reflects the field reality by Friday — no manual re-import, no stale carrier tiles.
Every refresh run is logged in the data_refresh_log table with a timestamp per state and corridor, so you can audit the freshness of any station before you build a build-prioritization review on top of it.
See the full refresh cadence and download the I-95 + I-10 coverage-gap CSV on the coverage-gap data page.
How are mismatch / opportunity scores produced from opportunities + traffic_counts + coverage_data?
Each traffic_stations row gets joined with the matching traffic_counts row (DOT AADT for the year) and every per-carrier coverage_data row. The scoring engine compares observed carrier technology (n2, n5, n77, LTE) against the AADT-weighted demand and produces an opportunity_score between 0 and 100, a signal bucket (red, amber, green), and the exact gap_carriers and gap_technologies arrays.
Higher scores flag stations where carrier coverage falls short of DOT-confirmed freight and commute demand — the situations a network planning team should review first. Below 60 your station is fine; above 60 you have an underserved build candidate worth a closer look.
The full scoring formula, thresholds, and worked examples live on the coverage-gap methodology page.
Who is using TowerScope today, and what early wins are showing up?
Mid-market U.S. telecom network planning teams across the first five launch states are running weekly build-prioritization reviews against the TowerScope corridor map. Tower companies use the same dataset to qualify landowner pitches faster and avoid building where the dataset already shows solid coverage.
Early wins we are willing to share: carrier reviews that surfaced an amber-gap station the team had not been watching, then turned that station into a confirmed build the following quarter. We do not name specific customers on the public site — press coverage and customer mentions are aggregated on the press page.

How do the pricing tiers and licensing work?
Three monthly tiers — Solo, Team, Network — priced per company, not per seat. Every tier includes the live corridor map, the weekly refresh, and CSV export of coverage-gap data. Higher tiers add multi-user logins, a longer historical window, and the bulk enterprise API endpoint.
No credit card to start — new companies get a 30-day free trial automatically when they register with a company email. Stripe Checkout handles the eventual upgrade; invoiced annual terms are available for any tier.
Full breakdown, what is included at each tier, and the Stripe checkout live on the pricing page.
What are the bulk / network-team enterprise licensing terms?
Network-tier customers get bulk API access, an extended historical window, named-seat licensing, custom data slices, and an MSA-friendly terms path. The bulk terms cover multi-state rollouts, team onboarding for five or more network planners, and route-corridor data licensing for adjacent products.
If you are scoping a tower portfolio review, a build for a specific region, or a network-team-wide rollout, the fastest path is to email us directly with your corridor, team size, and timeline. We reply within one business day with a scoped proposal.
