#1 Broadband Demand
Data from a well known and respected data seller recorded some 55,000 eligible businesses in a project study region. By combining this with other data sources the resultant Stratsoft data-set contained over 88,000 business prospect records.
#2 Wifi Offload
Stratsoft developed plans and undertook pioneer marketing to enable a client to offer WiFi offload services. When the success was made public the client company’ share price rose by over 15%.
#3 Rural Broadband
Stratsoft supported over 100 broadband applications for government BTOP stimulus funding with a 68% success rate. For one large BTOP project Stratsoft created the partnership, built the business and network deployment plans and continues to support the project by developing new lines of telecom services business that give the project commercial viability.
#4 Network Extension Design
In a study to plan which Off-Net switches should be brought On-Net Stratsoft developed algorithms to measure the value of the Addressable Market for each Off-Net switch. This then enabled a network design that selected the most valuable route for a network extension.
#5 Dark Fiber Backhaul
Stratsoft has undertaken numerous designs and economic cost/benefit analyses to bring Dark Fiber and Fixed Wireless backhaul to cell sites. This allows the Carrier to plan the most cost effective staged conversion of from third party backhaul services to controlling this mission critical link themselves. This Opex to Capex conversion yields material savings and improves network reliability.
#6 Small Cell Deployment
Small Cell deployments require sites and backhaul. Stratsoft has undertaken Site & Suitability analysis for a number of site portfolios to evaluate and market their use for Small Cells. This has resulted in Teaming Agreements with Carriers to use these sites in test, pilot, and full scale Small Cell deployments.
#7 Utility Rights-of-Way
Leveraging Utility rights-of-way for telecom use (both fiber and cell sites) has been an enduring area of project activity for Stratsoft over the last 3 years. Developing the database of assets available for this type of “dual use”, undertaking network design, specifying demand and pricing, supporting partnership negotiations and building the business case for strategic investment are all components of our support for these types of strategic initiatives.
#8 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Usage
Mapping and tracking the regions where the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is permitted by FAA rules has been a recent new activity to support applications for federal approval to test UAV use.
#9 First Responder Networks
Stratsoft has been active in identifying, sourcing and developing data on which assets are available for the government’s First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet).
#10 Internet of Everything Networks
Some Internet of Everything initiatives require the development of new, low bandwidth, networks. Stratsoft has undertaken network specification, site selection and economic evaluation, for these types of new wireless networks.
#11 Cloud Computing Networks
Stratsoft has been active in identifying, sourcing and developing data on which assets are available for the government’s First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet).
#12 Making BTOP Networks Viable
Stratsoft has been active in identifying, sourcing and developing data on which assets are available for the government’s First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet).
#13 UAS Mission Preparation
To win approval to fly commercial UAS flights requires data, maps and analysis. Over the last 5 years Stratsoft has developed this capability for over 25 FAA BVLOS approvals and many more internal business cases.
