1. A system for allocating bandwidth in a wireless communications network, comprising:
- a geo-location tool residing on a computer-readable medium, the geo-location tool operable to;
receive data for a wireless communications network including a plurality of geo-location areas;
estimate bandwidth parameters for a geo-location area on a per service class basis based on the data; and
generate, based on the data, a current usage map indicating real-time bandwidth being utilized at the geo-location area, the current usage map being subdivided into a plurality of bins representing the geo-location area, each bin representing the location of a portion of the geo-location area and containing data associated with the corresponding portion of the geo-location area; and
an allocation engine residing on the computer-readable medium, the allocation engine operable to allocate bandwidth in the geo-location area on the per service class basis based on its bandwidth parameters.
