The regulator of a rapidly developing new democracy wished to liberalise their 2- and 3-G mobile spectrum, and at the same time introduce additional competition to the local mobile market.  The project was of particular strategic importance given the low penetration of fixed telephony in the more rural areas of the country.  Consideration of existing non-mobile users in the mobile bands was required.  B Consulting built a realistic and detailed model of existing mobile networks and based on a combination of analytic and simulation approaches demonstrated the impact on each existing operator of candidate approaches to liberalisation regulation.

A private equity backed wireless services business wanted to enter a new business area to provide stable returns to balance the cyclical nature of other aspects of their current business.  B Consulting Ltd produced a marketing plan indentifying clear USPs and backed up by prices, costs and margins of the solution taking into account the competitive landscape.  A high level project management plan was also produced, and to help the organisation take the solution to market, a complete sales training package was developed and delivered.

A European regulator wished to liberalise their 2- and 3-G mobile spectrum, whilst dealing with legacy issues around expiry terms of existing licences.  B Consulting provided technical input throughout the development of the regulators policy strategy.  The choice of a multiple round spectrum auction meant that additional technical advice was required on transitional issues relating to relocating and retuning within the spectrum bands.  B Consulting’s interim manager was retained as an expert witness during this phase of the project in case the opposing interests of individual stakeholders could not be settled out of court.


Strategic Wireless Consulting


B Consulting provides independent advice on wireless strategy to enterprises, wireless operators and regulators.  The wireless standards we support are long range or short range, public or private, mobile or fixed, point to point or point to multi-point, analogue or digital, fully licensed, lightly licensed or unlicensed.  We work in the frequency range between about 100MHz and 80GHz.


In order to do this properly, a multi-disciplinary approach is usually needed. Technology development and adoption, economics, markets, regulation and the forces of globalisation all combine to determine an appropriate strategy. Our team has hands-on experience going back to the mid 1980s in vendor, operator and regulatory environments and in technical, commercial and project management roles. Our engineering background means that we strive to understand why things happen. We’re honest enough to say that not all our predictions from 1985 have come true, but our informed position means that we can identify critical factors of future uncertainty and strive to characterise them.
