1. A method for leasing spectrum bands, the method comprising:
receiving, by a spectrum leasing system via a user interface, a request for access to a licensed spectrum provided to a geolocation, wherein the request includes data indicating whether the request is for an outdoor environment or an indoor environment at the geolocation;
identifying, by the spectrum leasing system, at least one spectrum band of the licensed spectrum based on the outdoor environment or the indoor environment at the geolocation by determining:
the at least one spectrum band provides network connectivity above a quality-of-service threshold for the outdoor environment or the indoor environment at the geolocation,
the at least one spectrum band is available for spectrum leasing, and
a duration the at least one spectrum band is available;
generating, by the spectrum leasing system, a mapping of the licensed spectrum to illustrate locations of existing customers and network cell sites of the licensed spectrum;
overlaying, by the spectrum leasing system, a radio-frequency footprint for the at least one spectrum band on the mapping of the licensed spectrum;
generating, by the spectrum leasing system, a price quote for a lease of the at least one spectrum band based on the availability of the at least one spectrum band for leasing and a lease duration; and
displaying, by the spectrum leasing system via the user interface, the mapping of the licensed spectrum and the price quote for the lease.
