Applications
Make constrainedsites deployable.
MetroVault is built for locations where traditional equipment placement is blocked by space, visibility, access, structural, or stakeholder constraints.
The map
RF needs don't line upwith easy real estate.
Constrained RF sites
Turn RF-needed but hard-to-deploy search-ring locations into viable candidates.
Tower expansion
Add equipment capacity where the compound can't grow. More tenants, same footprint.
Rooftop optimization
Keep antennas at elevation; move radios, power, and batteries off the roof.
BBU / equipment hotels
Centralize and conceal support equipment for clustered small-cell deployments.
Backup & resiliency
Protect critical nodes from weather, impact, and surface disruption.
Fiber aggregation
A protected, serviceable home for urban fiber and power-adjacent nodes.
These are the use cases closest to a real, repeatable deployment — the priority paths below.
Priority use cases
Where the firstvaults go in.
Constrained RF sites
RF plans identify locations that are hard to execute — limited ground space, landlord resistance, rooftop limits, aesthetics, or permitting. MetroVault adds a below-grade equipment option that keeps the surface usable.
- More viable candidates inside constrained search rings.
- Fewer dead-end sites from equipment-placement limits.
- Better landlord conversations on parking and aesthetics.
Tower expansion
The vertical asset can take another tenant; the compound can't take another cabinet. MetroVault creates protected below-grade capacity without expanding the visible site.
- Add tenants on constrained or single-tenant sites.
- Higher revenue per asset and better utilization.
- A repeatable screen across existing portfolios.
Rooftop optimization
Antennas stay at RF-appropriate elevation while radios, power, batteries, and support equipment move off the roof — reducing structural load and landlord friction.
- Fewer rooftop structural “beef-up” requirements.
- Service from grade, not through tenant areas.
- More rooftop sites become feasible.
Landlord / property deployment
Host telecom infrastructure while preserving parking, aesthetics, and usable space — turning a resisted deployment into a workable deal.
- New telecom revenue without losing surface area.
- Drive-over, surface-preserving placement.
- Less tenant disruption than visible equipment.
Platform depth
The horizon is broad.The deployment is focused.
The platform can support more over time. The first website — and the first sale — stays on the use cases that are ready now.
- Fiber aggregation and utility integration.
- Backup and resiliency nodes.
- BBU / equipment hotels.
- Municipal infrastructure undergrounding.
- Utility-adjacent shared infrastructure.
