Qatar National Broadband Network (Qnbn) required a clear strategy, operating model, and investment plan to guide the nationwide rollout of high-speed broadband. The client needed financial modelling and implementation planning to optimise network investments and reduce overall costs.
The challenge
Qnbn needed support in defining its strategy, mission, and vision, while also ensuring that rollout plans, vendor management, and cost structures aligned with national broadband objectives and budget constraints.
Project outline
-
Built detailed business models with CAPEX, revenue, and NPV calculations for each rollout zone.
-
Developed network master planning, optimisation approaches, and implementation schedules.
-
Designed and applied vendor management and procurement control processes.
-
Defined criteria for Central Office site selection, reducing the required number and generating significant cost savings.
-
Rationalised rollout designs and shortened implementation timelines, including USD 3 million savings on the Service Management platform.
Our impact
The engagement provided Qnbn with a comprehensive strategic and technical foundation for its national broadband programme, improving cost efficiency and strengthening delivery planning.
Duration of engagement: 2012 – 2014
