Commercial strategy

Only the right business decisions build commercial success. Our strategic counsel frequently gives direction to governments, network operators, equipment vendors and commercial enterprises on their investment and technology decisions.

Challenges

How do we assess the viability of technology options, or the feasibility of major infrastructure investment decisions which will affect our bottom line?
Changes in spectrum policy, user trends, technical challenges in evolving technologies can all affect the commercial realities of your decisions
Are we making the right decisions, in the face of rapidly evolving competitive and technological landscapes?

Our offer

Strategic insights into the changes affecting your business and in the opportunities presented by network technologies
A team of experts that confidently guide your commercial strategy based on decades of experience
Our team regularly supports governments, network operators, equipment vendors and big businesses, enabling them to make difficult but strategically important decisions on networks, spectrum, M&A, technology or infrastructure choices

Governments, networks, vendors or business, all need to remain commercially competitive; take the right steps at the right time

How do vendors choose to invest in developing support for appropriate network architectures? When should a network make spectrum investments, or decide on the appropriate devices to support? When is the right time to migrate to cloud-based architecture, or to deploy a private network. How does the Government decide on its rural network strategy? How will our decisions and investments affect our business, and our competitive positioning in the market, locally and globally?

What we offer

Wireless strategists: Senior experienced industry professionals from all parts of the wireless value-chain. Economists, network planners, spectrum specialists. We have decades of experience guiding the biggest businesses and governments on their strategic decisions.
Track record of commercial success: Based on our strategic insights, world-leading mobile networks made spectrum and technology investments; complex businesses have deployed private networks; governments seek our insights into their rural network strategy.
More than advisors: The breadth and depth of our team of experts means that we advise with experience, but give you confidence that we can deliver results for your bottom line.
