Telecom Consultancy

The telecommunications industry is a competitive and rapidly changing market in which technological developments and new opportunities require a unique kind of responsiveness. Companies and regulatory agencies need to be not only in the forefront of technology, but also need to have the capacity to create and implement strategies that take into account the diversity of cultures and have the ability to realize and execute these strategies on a local basis.

As more undefeatable national barriers have come down and companies have raced to become key players in new markets, TELEMATRIX has been instrumental in helping companies to meet international expansion goals. It has developed analyses of emerging telecommunications markets in Africa, Middle East, and Latin Americas. In each of these cases, TELEMATRIX was responsible for assessing the domestic telecommunications climate and identifying key international investment opportunities. These market development analyses have been conducted for government entities, private telecommunication funds, investors, and private telecommunications firms.

TELEMATRIX also provides assistance to telecommunications entities adjusting to increased competition, expanded market needs and new technologies. In its position as business advisor, TELEMATRIX has completed technical and market analyses evaluating existing policies and recommending improvements for fixed and wireless telecommunications companies in Latin America and Middle East.

TELEMATRIX ‘s business analysis capabilities provide all the tools necessary to offer strategic advice to our public and private clients. TELEMATRIX personnel evaluate telecommunications opportunities and properties, and advise clients on investment strategies to improve productivity and profitability. TELEMATRIX offers a unique understanding of the international aspects of the telecommunications industry and works in partnership with financial institutions, private investors, venture capital groups and others to provide clients with equity, debt and acquisition financing options. Contracts with government agencies and international law firms ensure that valuations of properties consider the full range of opportunities and limitations.

With offices in Beirut Lebanon, Paris France,  and Sao Paulo Brazil, TELEMATRIX has a strategic location to maintain close and constant contact with key policy makers, international project development and investment agencies, international organizations, diplomatic missions and private telecommunications entities. At present, TELEMATRIX is carrying out or collaborating on projects throughout Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.

As privatization and competition transform global telecommunications landscapes, TELEMATRIX is instrumental in preparing telecommunications entities for liberalization. It has eased the transition from state to private ownership for telecommunications entities. TELEMATRIX has also assisted private sector investors interested in entering foreign telecommunications markets. TELEMATRIX has developed telecommunications tariff-structuring plans, price adjustment mechanisms and benchmark studies. It has also proposed tariff structures to help companies prepare for, or analyze the feasibility of privatization, provided technical analyses as well as organizational and personnel studies.

In addition, TELEMATRIX specializes in valuations of telecommunications companies for private investors and governments to assist in investment decisions and transactions. The company uses discounted cash flow, factor analyses and comparable transaction methods to establish valuations for publicly traded and privately held telecommunications companies.

Evolving technology and changing regulations are a constant push-pull that can make or break the financial viability of any telecommunications entity. Establishing a healthy balance is made even more challenging by the convergence of the telecommunications, broadcasting and information technology sectors. Because TELEMATRIX consultants have worked directly for regulatory agencies and have extensive experience in regulatory environments, they understand how these industries connect and are able to offer insight on creating new regulatory frameworks while recognizing the opportunities presented by convergence.

TELEMATRIX has accumulated significant experience helping countries throughout the world move towards privatization, establish new telecommunications regulatory entities and restructure outdated policies and regulations. TELEMATRIX ‘s objectives for its clients focus on creating an attractive business environment, as well as achieving universal service access and overall economic health for the countries involved.
