The TEA family of business case analysis tools empowers you with an effective mean to lay a solid foundation for a successful 4G initiative, analyzing and tracking the business case through an integrated and iterative approach during the entire life cycle of the project.
The TEA family is a unique and integrated application, that takes into account all critical aspects (market, technical, economic and financial) ensuring the best possible alignment between business and technology strategies since the outset.
Thus, the TEA family features comprehensive market and revenue forecast models, network dimensioning modeling tailored to 4G technologies (WiMAX and LTE), calculation of upfront investments and operational costs, and detailed economic and financial projections with close evaluation of key performance indicators.
4. Initial planning stage
Building a carrier-class 4G network is and will
remain a complex undertaking …
… and the initial planning phase is very
critical for the success of the initiative

5. Facing Crucial Questions
In these uncertain economic times, there is no room for risky and poorly
analyzed decisions when facing crucial questions, such as:
What will be the best addressable market segment
with a chosen technology characterization?
What will be the effect on the P&L when changing the
CIR in a service bundle?
How will the characterization of the technology
influence the network dimensioning?
What will be the best tradeoff between coverage and
capacity requirements in the network deployment?
How will different types of BS/eNB and UT/UE
devices affect the TCO?
