Facilities Access is the process used by vertical infrastructure owners to allow access to their assets for a variety of reasons. As the demand for faster and more advanced 5G technology increases, so does the need for access to vertical infrastructure.
Asset owners of vertical infrastructure use a Facilities Access process to allow mobile network operators and site acquisition, environment and design (SAED) partners to request access to assets in order to select suitable sites and host small cell 5G antennas to improve coverage.
Working closely with mobile network operators and asset owners, we are proud to showcase new technology that modernises the facilities access permit application process, providing greater visibility and grading of vertical infrastructure assets.
Our approach to asset management means shorter turn-around times for mobile network service providers to gain access to these important assets, speeding up the deployment of 5G technology. It also enables availability of advanced connectivity services to more customers than ever before.

We understand living in a neat community is important and work with you to minimise impacts to keep our streetscapes and neighbourhoods looking great.
With the density required to power a 5G city, we can expect to see one 5G small cell every 100m-500m. To avoid an excess of “pole-top jewellery”, it’s important to carefully consider where and how these small cells are placed. With careful planning, we can achieve a connected city, without the clutter.

Visualise geospatial layers
Visualise geospatial layers
Graded assets and radio design are examples of custom geospatial layers used to visualise and discover the coverage and assets required to strategically plan a 5G small cell roll out, while having visibility over the entire value of your asset base.
Online access applications*
Online access applications*
Carriers are able to discover assets made available by asset owners through an interactive map. Application forms enable carriers to submit a pre-approval application, this reserves the asset for the carrier and allows them to start SAED work on each site. Assets tagged with a master agreement can be reserved and approved in bulk to save everyone time.
Track asset work status*
Track asset work status*
Project managers can follow site work as updated by contractors in real-time, including site notes regarding access, relevant photos and mandatory documentation. As the workforce runs into problems, change requests can be raised and approved instantly avoiding costly delays to projects.
Create tailored asset works checklists*
Create tailored asset works checklists*
Asset works checklists ensure that all relevant tasks against each asset is being tracked and updated, ensuring quality site work deployment. Each asset type can have its own tailored checklist, notes and photos can be assigned to each checklist item as the work is progressed and tracked.
Manage permits and wayleaves*
Manage permits and wayleaves*
Onsite workers have access to latest information such as permit and wayleaves statuses and relevant details from the map. Links to the documentation is also included.
Mobile view for field crew*
Up-to-date data is critical to manage site construction. The works management module is designed specifically to make work easy for field crew to update work as they go with a phone or tablet.
Appointments scheduling*
Appointments scheduling*
Residential customer appointments are managed, changes can be made, and email notifications sent to the residential customer with appointment details. Customer details, pre and post work photos, customer approval signatures captured and stored, all in the same system.
