| From
a traditional telco systems point of view, owners/operators
interested in upgrading
and expanding their systems face several challenges:
|
| Extensive
technological expertise and infrastructure are required.
|
Wireline
T-1 costs are prohibitive to all but the highest-end
customer
and installation time is lengthy. |
Fiber-optic
cable is extremely expensive to deploy, especially over
the "last mile"
to the customer site location and the cost is rarely
justifiable to a single user. |
The
distance from the customer site to the telephone company
central office
limits the use of DSL. Typically, the end-user must
be within 5 kilometers of the central office. |
Cable
TV systems are again short-range systems being limited
in their deployment and
additional users accessing the same capability simultaneously
dampen bandwidth availability. |
Satellite
systems are hampered by problems with latency, line
of sight access,
backhaul availability and real estate logistics. |
| Some
of the advantages of going with Teletronics wireless
broadband solutions: |
| Overall
costs, including system design, installation and commissioning,
are well below those for wireline and satellite alternatives. |
End-user’s
deployment costs of $500 or less per location. Deployment
can be on
a total solution/turn-key basis. |
Deployment
costs that are incurred linearly as subscriber base
increases. |
Fast
deployment, immediate operation and revenue generation,
particularly for
IP-based operations such as Internet, VoIP, WLAN, Intranet,
VPN, etc. |
Ease
of relocation and/or redeployment of the system |
Transmission
capacity that is easily scalable with demand. |
Bandwidth
availability that can be managed and upgraded as more
users come online. |
Low
operating and maintenance costs. |
7
a.m. – 11 p.m. support availability. |
Simplified
or no regulatory licensing issues due to low-power transmission
status. |
Reliable
long-term revenue generation for owners and/or operators. |
Teletronics' Wireless Partnership Program
Teletronics is keenly aware that raising the necessary capital
continues to be the single most significant
obstacle for implementing a broadband wireless system for
many owners/operators. To help overcome this obstacle, Teletronics
offers qualified owners/operators the Wireless Partnership
Program, which finances
30% to 70% of a qualified broadband wireless system project,
particularly in developing countries. Interested owners/operators
are encouraged to contact Teletronics with a brief summary
or outline of the project, including:
a. Your project plan, including
project type (whether it is a school system, chain stores,
a suburban
community, or a metropolitan area), location/markets, and
a revenue generating projection.
b. Your team strength, capabilities, marketing plan, channels,
financials, and previous operational history.
A member of the Teletronics team will perform the necessary
due diligence on the owner/operator and
the project, and will respond to your submission in a timely
manner with an analysis, inquiries, and a recommendation.
For qualifying projects, Teletronics will provide a written
response outlining the financing parameters
and any related requirements. If a project is approved by
Teletronics, the company will offer to fully
implement the system on a turn-key basis, including training
your team to operate the system and generate revenue. In defining
such a joint venture between Teletronics and the owner/operator,
the emphasis will
be on the potential of (i) immediate revenue generation; and
(ii) the long term strategic business growth
prospects between the parties.
For projects in excess of $2,000,000, Teletronics' financing
may include participation by one or more of the following:
Wall Street; commercial/investment banks; institutional investors;
multilateral financing agencies
(e.g. EximBank, USTDA, OPIC, EBRD, IFC, UNDP, ADB, etc.);
and/or public, private, and quasi-private
investment funds. To the extent that Teletronics' proposed
financing includes outside participation by one
of the above bankers/investors, such banker/investor may perform
its own due diligence on the owner/operator and/or the project.
