5G planning for ~40 km smart infrastructure corridor in the US.

The Challenge

A large-scale transportation infrastructure project in the US required designing a reliable 5G network across a ~40 km corridor.

The environment combined:

• long-distance coverage requirements,
• complex and heterogeneous surroundings,
• and dynamic conditions driven by vehicle movement.

Additionally, the network needed to operate across mid-band (3–5 GHz), millimeter wave (20–26 GHz), and C-V2X (~5.9 GHz) frequencies, significantly increasing planning complexity.

Traditional planning methods were not sufficient to accurately predict network performance in such conditions.

The Approach

Blare Tech applied a simulation-first planning methodology powered by its spatial computing platform.

The process included:

• building a high-resolution 3D model of the environment,
• running large-scale radio propagation simulations,
• and analyzing network performance across both static and dynamic scenarios.

Dynamic simulations were used to evaluate real-world conditions, including vehicle movement at selected high-complexity locations.

The Solution

Blare Tech delivered a complete planning workflow:

• End-to-end simulation of 5G Macro and Small Cell deployments
• Multi-band analysis including mid-band, mmWave, and C-V2X
• Identification of optimal and alternative infrastructure locations
• Interactive 3D visualization of network performance

The results were delivered as spatial datasets and an interactive environment, enabling stakeholders to explore and validate different deployment scenarios.

The Impact

• Validated network design across ~40 km of infrastructure
• Improved coverage and performance through scenario optimization
• Reduced deployment risk in high-frequency environments
• Enabled transition from planning to implementation

The delivered outputs supported the next phase of infrastructure deployment and met the expectations of the project stakeholders.
