Question:
What is the company history?
Answer:
The Azotel Azotel's WISPer
platform was developed based on the practical
experiences of deploying a metro wireless broadband
network i.e. Amocom. The first systems were
sold outside of Amocom in Oct 2005, following
its successful sale.

Question: What is Azotel's target market?
Answer: We serve
wireless broadband operators, both nationally and internationally. Over a dozen operators are now using the WISPer platform including deployments in Africa.
Question:
How quick can an Azotel system be deployed?
Answer:
Deployment of
the Azotel hardware is very straightforward.
It is as simple as plugging one port
of the WIB-C to the upstream provider
and the second port to the Operators
radio network. For the radio network
we would suggest using Motorola Canopy
or MotoMesh Duo or any fixed WiMAX radio
solution.

Question:
That's quiet a rapid deployment. How many Azotel
engineers are required?
Answer:
NONE. There is no need
to send any engineers on site. Once connected
to the internet, full remote diagnostics and
monitoring is available. This is in keeping
with the Azotel philosophy of empowering the
Operators to get on with the business of building
out their networks and adding subscribers.
Question: So what again does Azotel do for the operator?
Answer:
Essentially, the Azotel
WISPer platform does everything that the radio
access doesn't.
Question: Can you explain more? Are you saying that all I
need is a radio access network and Azotel WISPer and I have a business?
Answer:
Yes, and a very compelling
one at that. Azotel WISPer is a platform that
was developed from the ground up requirements
learned during the setup of Amocom. It does
(a) advanced core network routing (b) traffic
shaping (c) automated customer provisioning
(d) automated CPE (Customer Premises Equipment)
provisioning (e) network health dashboard and
alerts (g) automated invoicing (h) cash collection
tracking (i) banking interfaces - direct debit
/ credit card (j) international language support
(k) SMS/email alerts (l) IP and usage statistics
(m) Installation/maintenance scheduling (n)
CRM (o) Debtors ledger - to mention but a few.
The
system is typically sold as an ASP model. One
of the big befits to an operator, is that they
build up a very attractive business from an
acquisition perspective.
Question: Can Azotel revolutionise the roll out of wireless
broadband?
Answer:
From
the above Q&A it should be becoming clear
that the Azotel WISPer platform has a lot to
offer the broadband operator. The Azotel solution
is revolutionising the roll out of broadband,
by allowing entrepreneurs, owner managers build
valuable businesses while delivering commercially
viable services to the underserved rural and
metro areas of the World. The solution works
across languages, currencies and time zones.
