Network Expansion Stakeholder Challenges
Organizations across the United States are racing to deliver broadband services to everyone. Achieving this ambitious goal requires collaboration among government agencies, ISPs, consultants, engineering and design firms, construction contractors, and financial institutions. But what does it take to assess, fund, plan, build, and provide broadband access? Each stakeholder faces unique challenges and demands, compounded by industry-wide labor shortages that strain already overburdened teams. How can we bring broadband to all in a cost-effective way without overextending limited resources?
-
Data Processing Bottlenecks
Finding, cleaning, and standardizing necessary data slows down broadband planning.
-
Generic Modeling Limitations
One-size-fits-all models fail to align with a company’s unique operations and strategic goals.
-
Time-Intensive Initial Feasibility Analysis
Location feasibility models often lack the necessary detail, delaying critical decision-making.
-
Engineering Dependency
Engineers must be involved early to generate usable network designs, creating a bottleneck for downstream planning.
-
Financial Visibility Gaps
Finance teams must be engaged to assess project impact on budgets and profitability, adding complexity to planning.
We Can Fix It.
-
Data That's Ready to Go
We’ve already collected, cleaned, and integrated these datasets into our platform. This rich data backbone eliminates the grunt work of data gathering and validation.
-
Tailored to Your Company's Parameters
Utilizing your unique parameters, you get realistic network build-out projections and analyses aligned with your cost structure.
-
High-Level Analysis of Potential Build-Out Area
Instead of weeks of manual modeling, you’ll see outputs including optimal fiber deployment costs and financial projections that help you understand revenue potential, ROI, and more.
-
Detailed Network Design: Greenfield or Brownfield
Whether you’re starting from scratch (greenfield) or expanding from existing infrastructure (brownfield), our platform automates network layouts and provides granular details on routes and coverage.
-
Comprehensive Financial Modeling with BOM
Craft a detailed financial model and initial bill of materials (BOM) to generate a cash-flow analysis and pro-forma income statement to make informed financial decisions.
