Wireless Telecommunications Unplugged

by    Edouard Guenov,    March 7, 2014

In the last 30 years, wireless telecommunications have grown from zero to gigantic proportions. From being the communications environement of the privileged to the handy that every primary school kid carries around today, even in what we call low GDP countries. Wireless telecommunications have not only become an industry in terms of theoretical definitions but as a Blue Chip, well anchored in our daily lifes and routines.

In more recent times, the fast pace of wireless technology adoption worldwide has caused a major impact on the business dynamics in the industry in many ways. Increased competition has led to downward pressure on the pricing at any level of the value chain. All three key players in the wireless industry - equipment suppliers, network operators and consumers - had to adapt their business behavior accordingly.

Without any doubt the big winner out of it is the consumer, who enjoys stellar services at basement prices today. The only plausible solution the other two parties were left with was outsourcing, aka let's go East. The outsourcing push has set the foundations for a new era of business activities in the service domain. New players with less rigid corporate structures have emerged, harnessing the expertise of highly skilled professionals and offering more efficient execution models.

Wise Noble Limited through the successful of implementation of its multiplane service model has positioned itself to take advantage of the current trend in the wireless industry and believes that the true growth path is yet to come.

The chart on the left shows an approximated distribution that, we estimate, represents the amount of CAPEX equipment suppiers and network operators dedicate yearly to services overlapping with our company's business activities. More and more wireless infrastructure operators around the world are outsourcing the total of their network operations to third parties - a tendency that has already generated global revenues in the range of 50 billion US dollars and that is expected to grow at 10% a year.

The following summarizes some major milestone achievments by the wireless industry today (all statistical figures are worldwide cummulatives):

• more than 5.5 billion users,
• over 1 trillion US dollars revenue per year,
• close to 200 billion US dollars CAPEX per year,
• up to 100 Mpbs data bandwidth on 4G technology,
• seemless cross-country voice and data roaming,
• improvement of public safety standards,
• creation of new range of business opportunities through mobile office,
• overall higher quality of life.

Though many support the idea that wireless telecommunications have picked and matured, at Wise Noble Limited we firmly believe that the wireless industry will be a major economical driver and innovation front runner of the coming decades. The introduction of new amazing technologies like the electronic wallet or the digital ID, the embracement of tablet computers in the classrom, the immense horizons that the Internet is yet to bring to us, leaves only one possible transmission vehicule of the information flow - the radio frequency carrier, or what is commonly known as wireless!
