The Ministry of Interior (MOI) sought to evaluate the feasibility of investing in a secure national private network that would meet the needs of all directorates. The study aimed to compare the costs and benefits of developing a dedicated network versus continuing to rely on capacity purchased from the incumbent operator.
The challenge
MOI required a comprehensive technical, commercial, operational, and financial assessment to determine whether a private national network would provide long-term value, improved performance, and enhanced operational control.
Project outline
-
Analyzed the existing MOI network and defined future upgrade scenarios.
-
Conducted stakeholder consultations across 17 directorates to capture demand forecasts.
-
Developed a demand model reflecting per-directorate, regional, and access requirements.
-
Designed a technical architecture for network consolidation and expansion.
-
Modeled CAPEX and OPEX costs over a 15-year period and compared them against leasing costs from the incumbent.
-
Performed financial appraisal including ROI and NPV analysis.
-
Prepared implementation plans for network deployment.
-
Designed a centralized operating model incorporating NOC and SOC elements aligned with MOI’s command and control framework.
Our impact
The study provided MOI with a clear financial and technical basis for decision-making and a strategic roadmap for network modernization and long-term investment planning.
Duration of engagement: January 2012 – June 2012
