Marketing priorities
Available capital (budget)
Design process (ensuring consistency)
Network QoS objectives
Revenue impact (improvement x traffic)
Once the relevant data has been assessed, capital planning can be
performed to find the optimal balance between regions and to make
certain the right investment is made in each region.

Next, a new study of sites and budgeting was performed to make sure all requested new sites would either meet a minimum quality improvement
criterion, or have a clear ROI. Doing this nationwide enabled the operator to measurably differentiate between the various regions in terms of how
many new sites could be included in the budget.

An enterprise wide report was also generated offering the operator an overview of the allocation of CAPEX budget and the type of quality
improvements it could expect in each region.
