Using 3D RF Physical AI to Automate Wireless Network Design

US Pat. No. 12,114,175. Other patents pending.

Our core expertise is in Physical AI solutions that reflect the behavior of radio waves in the real world.

RICH AND REAL

Informed by billions of real-world measurements, physics-informed, reality-checked.

INFERENCE OPTIMIZED

Our data processing is optimized for the needs of the customer. What used to take weeks, now takes minutes thanks to purpose-designed hardware-accelerated processing.

As a dedicated software and hardware engineering firm, Intelliterra and its entire team is focused on innovative solutions that unlock unprecedented value for its customers. Our intellectual property portfolio is growing both in the US and globally.

THE CRUX OF INTELLITERRA’S VALUE PROPOSITION

Our solution: We have developed a Physical AI engine including hardware-accelerated training and inference compute as well as specialized tools employing sUAS and advanced sensor payload that enables an end-to-end workflow and wireless network design automation.

The yellow bubbles represent radio towers, network quality is shown as best/good/bad with blue/white/red dots respectively. Only a few layers are shown for simplicity, not the entire 3D RF model.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE NETWORKS OF THE FUTURE: 3D NETWORKS FROM UNDERGROUND TO LEO/MEO/GEO

Since 2020, Intelliterra’s team has been working on tools to serve the new paradigm for the wireless networks of the future.  Historically, wireless networks—and especially cellular networks—have mostly been thought of as "flat" - i.e., their users have been planned to only be on the topographical surface of the ground, with occasional elevations due to residential condominium and business office areas.

CUSTOMER DEMAND IS SHIFTING FROM 2D GROUND COVERAGE TOWARD 3D VOLUME PERFORMANCE

The dominant historical requirement for wireless networks was reliable surface (2D) coverage and capacity for smartphones and ground IoT. Demand is now expanding into the volume above the surface: continuous, QoS/SLA-grade connectivity for aerial terminals (UAVs, eVTOL/AAM platforms, airborne sensors) operating from near-ground to several hundred meters. This requires true 3D coverage maps, height-dependent antenna patterns and beam management, seamless vertical handover, and differentiated service levels—capabilities that legacy 2D-optimized macro plus small-cell densified networks do not automatically deliver.

The transition to 3D is structural, not cyclical. 5G densification largely completed broad ground coverage in non-rural areas; the next wave of MNO capacity and new revenue in these areas is vertical. 3GPP releases and regulatory frameworks (FAA/FCC coordination on UAS spectrum, Remote ID, low-altitude authorization) are aligning around aerial users. Operators that can engineer and SLA true 3D performance gain differentiation on both public densification contracts (premium aerial coverage) and private/enterprise networks. Digital-twin and Physical-AI planning tools become higher-leverage precisely because they natively operate in volume rather than surface, that enables quality, speed-to-market, and leaner CapEx/Opex.


By 2026, the concept of 3D networks is entering mainstream. “D2D in 3D – Amazon appeals to telcos”

by James Blackman, RCR Wireless, July 29, 2026 


Intelliterra defines 3D RF / 3D Networks as the entire space across X, Y, Z coordinates of an Area of Interest.

It is with 3D networks in mind that Intelliterra has anticipated legacy RF planning to become highly inefficient, and that automation should be called to help. Then--with extensive development and testing--Intelliterra team invented and patented both the process and the tools needed for automated 3D RF planning.

NEW COVERAGE

Traditional Private Area Wireless networks will last longer and cost less over their lifetime if coverage is effectively optimized for your business before network equipment is deployed.

Whether you are a petroleum refinery looking to operate in a truly automatic 21st century way, or a farm working to achieve the productivity lifts of precision agriculture, you need guaranteed and affordable connectivity for your sensor network.

3D

Quality connectivity needs to be guaranteed not only at the surface but also above ground. Whether your facility has equipment high above ground or you employ drones for regular monitoring and diagnostics, or you are a remote-area airfield looking to provide connectivity for aircraft on the flight line and in the traffic pattern -- your facility needs 3D coverage, on the ground and in the air.

Fast

Coverage is optimized for each use-case without significant time and resource overhead. RF designs are ready from within hours to several days. Micro-towers can be installed within weeks.

Affordable

Our disruptive approach helps the customer reap the advantages of the digital age while taking control of costs in both near-term and long run. 

Enjoy your network with guaranteed coverage of your property in under several weeks; from inspection to deployment.

INEFFICIENT COVERAGE

Operators are facing an increasing need to optimize costs out of their networks.

Pre-AI processes: Traditional methods of build-test-tweak network design makes network optimization a time-consuming and costly process of trial and error, every time.


It’s still an expensive game of “Can you hear me now?” This creates unbalanced coverage, with both gaps and surplus capacity areas.


AI-assisted processes: programmatic optimization of coverage run on quality Physical AI eliminates most surprises and delivers RF plans that not only save costs but also increase quality of customer experience. Performed independently from RAN vendor priorities, the outcomes directly reflect MNO priorities.

GAPS IN COVERAGE

Our robotic 3D area surveys, Physical-AI informed coverage modeling, and hardware-accelerated optimization will help fill in gaps in your coverage most efficiently.

Our Physical AI engine will show top equipment location and configuration scenarios maximizing outcomes you are looking for.
