This article considers the base station deployment problem in a wireless network. The natural formulation of this problem usually leads to numerical and memory issues, preventing users from dealing with real‐world cases. We provide a compact reformulation that allows us to get beyond the drawbacks of the natural formulation. Tests are done on ten instances derived from realistic LTE scenarios. The computational results show that the proposed reformulation enables mixed‐integer programming solvers to provide an optimal solution in a short amount of time.
