Wireless Way can be engaged in an operation as pure consultants, as dealmakers and facilitators, as equity stakeholders, under management contracts, or in any combination of these.

Some of the benefits Wireless Way can bring to the table for a wireless operation are:

• Avoid technology decisions based on hype and sales talk
• Identify the specific market niche where a profitable business is possible
• Match the technology to the actual market niche
• Analyse through accurate financial modelling the correct pricing schemes and get answers to “what if” scenarios before they happen
• Make the right approaches to regulators to secure spectrum and licenses
• Find trustworthy local partners where such are necessary
• Identify funding sources and assist with partial fundraising
• Put together legally sound corporate structures suitable for each country
• Analyse and design appropriate exit strategies for the various stakeholders
• Draw up bidding documents and/or lead negotiations with vendors
• Take responsibility for network planning in cooperation with the selected vendor
• Manage network rollout, including site acquisition
• Staff up the organisation with a lean team of experienced key officers, which is critically important to get a start-up off the ground
• Train local staff and officers for an eventual hand-over of responsibilities
• Act as real-time trouble-shooters in case of operational surprises or changing external factors.

One single mistake in any of the above steps can easily cause more losses than the cost of one year of Wireless Way’s services.
