Who it's for

Solo or 2-person team with basic geospatial or backend chops. Sells to: telcos, property developers, ISPs, infrastructure planners, logistics companies who need to know signal strength before investing.

How to build it

1. License or scrape public signal data (FCC in US, NCC/ICASA equivalents in Africa/emerging markets) or partner with local telecom for anonymized coverage layers. 2. Build a web app with map UI (Mapbox/Leaflet) + search/postcode lookup that returns live coverage prediction and signal strength for each network. 3. Add API layer so enterprise customers can batch-query thousands of locations programmatically. 4. Implement Stripe/Paystack billing: freemium map viewer, paid tiers unlock API access, detailed reports, and alert features. 5. GTM: cold email real estate platforms, logistics SaaS, and telco procurement teams in your region with a free trial on 50 lookups.

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigeria + West Africa have fragmented, rapidly changing telecom coverage. Local builders can license or partner with MTN, Airtel, Glo data faster than foreign competitors. Regional demand (real estate boom, last-mile infrastructure) is real and underserved. Deploy first in Nigeria, scale across Africa—data moat + local sales trust = defensible.
