Urban macro network solutions have been specifically engineered and designed to solve urban connectivity problems. They cannot be simply transposed into rural environments because the high costs heavily outweigh the return. In CAPEX terms alone, the total site costs for deploying a typical urban macro solution; e.g., micro-base station, 30+ metre tower, air conditioning units, equipment housing, etc., at a remote location, will often exceed US$250,000. However, for the many innovative operators, in Asia and Africa, who have already embraced the strategic imperative to extend their coverage footprint to the remote rural regions, using our Flexi-Rural solution, the total site-build cost - including base station, solar, VSAT equipment, site installation and commissioning - is less than US$50,000.
