Lay the groundwork for building your broadband business
Feasibility
Building a broadband network is a complex undertaking—and most likely the largest investment made in the communities you serve in generations. NRTC’s team of experts is ready to help you make thoughtful and well-informed decisions when pursuing the creation of your broadband business.
Feasibility studies from NRTC are designed to be comprehensive in scope. Each study we complete is an effective financial infrastructure plan focused on the needs of your community, providing you with the full range of broadband network options and business scenarios that anticipate your customers’ needs, both now and for generations to come.
When creating a member’s feasibility study, we adopt an expansive outlook and holistic posture—from route planning and exploration of available technologies to the capital investment required, current service pricing options in their competitive environment, revenue forecasts, ROI scenarios, affordability models, and much more. We perform the research that’s needed to understand all aspects of each community and devise strategies for meeting its needs.
There’s no such thing as a “one size fits all solution” when it comes to deploying a broadband network. Instead, NRTC works closely with our member’s leadership team, making them an active part of the process by soliciting input and insight into the plan, while presenting options and guidance, and educating them on the impacts and implications of the many variables.
We consult with you and make you a partner in all technology, architecture, and design choices. Upon completion of your study, we deliver a comprehensive report, network maps, and a model. Based on our engagement, the feasibility study you receive is uniquely your own. Our approach is unbiased, and our recommendations are designed to address your situation—if we believe a broadband network isn’t the best choice for you today, we say so.
NRTC isn’t driven by profit and isn’t interested in simply selling you a network. As your partner and trusted advisor, we work closely with you to ensure the feasibility study you receive offers a deep understanding of the community and the network you want to build.
