Build a Telecom Feasibility Analysis in GIS

Course Objective

Every cell tower in the $326 billion U.S. wireless telecommunications industry exists within a myriad of site suitability constraints. Restrictions on cell tower locations exist for endangered species, wetlands, historic resources, FAA-regulated airspace, and Tribal consultation. In this course, you’ll apply the ArcGIS Suite to an actual workflow used in telecom by environmental consultants. By the end of the course, students will produce a resume ready Telecom Site Feasibility Package that includes a stakeholder-facing web map, viewshed and historic resource analysis, IPaC species list output, and a short feasibility report summarizing project risks, regulatory considerations, and recommended next steps.

Hirable skills you’ll learn

  • Learn how cell tower suitability works for telecom
  • Understand compliance with NEPA and ESA
  • Consult State Historic Preservation Office
  • Interpret lease exhibits and construction drawings
  • Configure ArcGIS Field Maps
  • Prepare raster dataset layers for your project
  • Create API requests for sensitive species data
  • Create Web Maps to share to audience
  • Utilize AI for final technical report

  • Real-world scenarios

    I like the real-world scenarios. My professors used to do GIS before Web GIS was in existence so our curriculum is out of date. The courses I’ve taken on the Bootcamp GIS platform are so much more useful than my school’s lab exercises which only taught me to digitize a line, generate a buffer, and make a map layout.
