Geocoding in telecom: Mapping and expansion

A large telecom industry segment uses geocoding products to map service territories and identify potential expansion areas. Accurate geocoding allows for precise network infrastructure planning, ensuring optimal coverage and identifying underserved areas for potential growth.

Speed limits and cost efficiencies

Many telecom enterprises grapple with offering the fastest speeds at competitive pricing. Geocoding and address verification play a crucial role here. By mapping service areas and customer locations accurately, telecom companies can optimize network coverage and resource allocation, leading to cost-effective operations supporting competitive pricing structures.

An enterprise-level customer of Smarty’s recently shared how impressed they were with our accessibility-first approach, inquiring about how we designed our tools to function in a way that feels equitable and usable for everyone. At Smarty, one of our core values is outwardness — seeing people as people, not objects or caricatures. Every person who interacts with our tools has their own needs, wants, and objectives, and accessibility is one of the most meaningful ways we connect with people - an area we’re striving to improve.
Introducing Smarty’s mascot… Hermes?
Arrow Icon
Greek gods, as it turns out, have a lot to say to the mortals on Earth and the souls in Hades. What they don’t have is time to travel from Olympus all the way to Earth or Hades just to tell a mere mortal to perform 12 labors… or eat a magical herb… or free Odysseus. That’s why the gods have a personal messenger: Hermes. Equipped with winged sandals, Hermes travels between Olympus, Earth, and the underworld with lightning speed (Get it? Lightning? Because his dad is Zeus? 🤣)Smarty also knows a thing or two about outrageous speed, and that’s not where our similarities with Hermes end.
