Cell Site Optimization
What is it?
Cell Site Optimization is a process that involves reviewing and assessing a given cell site lease, rent and operating requirements to form a prioritized list of improvements to be executed in a way that produces optimal value and lease rights for the beneficiary.
Consider This
AT&T, T-Mobile Verizon and DISH wireless have entered in to Master Lease Agreement that assign most of their towers and lease rights to tower companies (TowerCo’s) Crown Castle, American Tower, and SBA to a name a few.
The Carriers got billions in cash payments
In exchange, TowerCO’s got:
Control of thousands of cell site leases
And 100% of any additional rent from collocations less what they have to pay landlords
Bottom-line, TowerCo’s can increase their revenue by reducing and or limiting landlords rights and rent
Why it matters?
The carriers and the towerco’s have a plan in place to optimize the value of every lease by limiting the rights and rent you receive as landlord.
If it sounds like 2 against 1, it’s not fair and you’re right.
Since 1988, cell site landlords have been at a disadvantage when it comes to making sure they receive a fair share of cell site rent.
Why? Because most landlords lack the data and industry knowledge to match what the carriers and tower companies know a cell sites true value
TowerCo’s have used their advantage to increase revenue by driving landlords into rent reductions, escalations and or first rights of refusal that can deny a landlords right to sell their property.
