wireless business setup help..

You want to start your own network? Or start a cell phone retail store?

 

A tad late to be trying to start a cell phone company. Unless you've got literally 100 million dollars in cash (Be it you, or an investment group) you're not going to be starting your own network anytime soon. The licenses alone will eat up most, if not all of that initial 100 million dollar investment.

 

Average cell site costs $500k, USD to build. That's not including monthly costs like the lease, power and backhaul costs.

Contact Industry Canada and ask about their upcoming spectrum auctions. Before you can do anything you have to have a frequency license and they're the ones that control those.

There's no how-to guide in how to build your own cellular network. If you truly have access to the money to invest, you'll know how to get a hold of the proper consultants and companies.

 

If that's the case, why are you asking for help on an internet forum? Your partners are well experienced in the process.

The effective radius of a tower is directly lated to the needs of the area it's serving. We'll say a tower can be effective from 1/2 mile to 25 miles, depending on it's design but no further.

 

Get some books on the technology you're interested in deploying, and get educated in business practices.

An MBA (Or equivalent knowledge) will take you farther in starting a cellular company than anything else. You'll be paying people to do the actual network design.
