Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. A network planning device comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, perform the operations of:
obtaining, from a database in communication with the one or more processors, geospatial locations of a plurality of sites within a geographic region and associated with a connection to a telecommunications network;
obtaining, from the database, a plurality of site identifiers each associated with a corresponding site of the plurality of sites and comprising a primary site identifier and at least one connection identifier associated with a type of connection between the corresponding site and the telecommunications network;
classifying each of the plurality of sites based on a number of connection identifiers associated with a corresponding site of the plurality of sites;
subdividing, based on a type of connection to the telecommunications network, the plurality of sites into a plurality of subsets of the plurality of sites;
generating, based on a first subset of the plurality of sites, one or more buildable subgroups each defining geospatial boundaries of a contiguous build area, the first subset corresponding to a first connection type to the telecommunications network;
intersecting the one or more buildable subgroups with geospatial locations of a second subset of the plurality of sites corresponding to a second connection type to the telecommunications network; and
generating a telecommunications build plan for providing the first connection type to at least one site of the second subset of the plurality of sites based on the intersection of the one or more buildable subgroups with geospatial locations of the second subset of the plurality of sites.
