Abstract:
A speed tier based pricing scheme is utilized to increase average revenue per user (ARPU) for fixed wireless applications. To offer a speed tier based pricing scheme, a radio environment at a location of Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) and/or data associated with cell sites serving the location can be analyzed to estimate a maximum data rate that can be delivered to the user CPE with a high confidence. Based on the estimated data rate, one or more speed tiers that can be offered to the customer for subscription. Further, based on an analysis of observed network usage and/or traffic demand per customer location with reference to the speed-tier classes subscribed to by existing customers, the network can efficiently plan for on-boarding new customers and/or network expansion.

Claim (Index 20):
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:\n based on an analysis of information indicative of a radio environment within an area, estimating a sustainable data rate that is to be provided within the area to a user equipment that is to be coupled to a device of a fixed wireless network, wherein the sustainable data rate is determined to satisfy a defined variation criterion, wherein the information comprises radio signal propagation characteristic data, respective speed tiers to which existing user devices are subscribed in the area, and respective historical utilization by the existing user devices of sustainable data rates assigned to the respective speed tiers; determining speed tier data indicative of a speed tier corresponding to the sustainable data rate, wherein the speed tier corresponds to a defined billing fee for providing a communication service; and in response to receiving request data indicative of a request for a speed-tier qualification of the user equipment, facilitating a presentation of the speed tier data to indicate the speed tier that is available to the user equipment.
