The WiROI Business Case
Tool has been designed specifically for WiMAX operators to allow them to
create a business case analysis for their target market. The tool
accepts a wide range of market data, technical parameters, and financial
and service planning inputs that can be tailored to a particular
geography. The WiROI Tool can simulate a WiMAX network deployment and
operation using a variety of service plans and equipment.
The Redline WiROI has an easy-to-use, interactive, dashboard-style
Graphical User Interface (GUI) to enable the user to perform real-time
Sensitivity Analyses and view the results instantly. With the click of a
button, the user will be able to model networks built with either the
802.16d, fixed WiMAX standard or the 802.16e-2005 mobile WiMAX standard.
“Using the WiROI GUI, Redline will be able to show network operators the
impact of deploying a variety of RedMAX solutions including both fixed
and mobile WiMAX,” said Kevin Suitor, Vice President of Marketing and
Business Development, Redline Communications Inc. “With more than 125
carrier deployments of our RedMAX solutions worldwide, Redline has
helped operators generate a rapid return on their investment. By
utilizing the WiROI GUI, we can now provide operators the ability to
clearly understand both the short and long term business implications of
various technology choices.”
“Equipment vendors have been using WiROI effectively to illustrate the
benefits of their products to WiMAX operators by clearly articulating
the impact on an operator’s business plan,” said Haig Sarkissian,
Principal Consultant at WiMAX 20/20. “Redline’s WiROI GUI enables a
side-by-side comparison of a fixed vs. mobile deployment using Redline’s
RedMAX products,” explained Sarkissian.
The WiROI Business Case Tool supports over 250 input variables, allowing
operators to model for their own particular market deployment, services
strategy, and financial constraints. The assumption inputs for any model
cover all critical aspects that an operator must consider, including
Market Data, Access Network Systems Parameters, Financials, Network
Deployment and Operating Expenses, Service Assumptions, Marketing
Assumptions, and Customer Premise Equipment.
