Communication’s public wireless Internet services will provide customers full access to email, video email,
web and other applications such as location, mapping, and mobility. Access Communication will provide
clients and customers with a unique and innovative product and service.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a dominant force for business transformation, and its disruptive
impact will be felt across all industries and all sectors of society. The use of IoT solutions directly in
companies and businesses is expected. Moreover, the use of hybrid solutions is assumed: implants,
devices controlled by the Internet. It is advisable to use IoT trends in business, it creates efficiencies in
business, education, transport and others which will influence the shaping of the IoT business model.

The ubiquity of wireless communication will continue to grow and provide the fuel for the enterprise to
expand services to new serving areas throughout the country. Intrinsic scalability of the network allows
for rapid expansion to new serving areas like San Ignacio/Santa Elena area. All communities between
Belmopan and Benque Viejo will be served by the enterprise. The technological improvement of 802.11
standards comparable to that of 5G, and Wi-Fi hardware efficiencies ensure ROI on the enterprise. All IEEE
standards will be deployed on the network especially 802.11ah for maximum signal penetration in urban
environment.

Market Analysis & Summary

Access Communication is faced with the exciting opportunity of being the first-mover in the ICT, Smart
City public Internet market. The attractiveness of convenience, combined with the growing interest in the
Internet, has been proven to be a winning concept in other markets and will produce the same results in
Garden City, Belmopan.

We reiterate that initially the network will provide wireless internet connectivity throughout the
Belmopan serving area. As the capital of the country, people movement and connectivity is important to
those doing government business. Here is a breakdown of the markets the enterprise will focus on as we
go forward.

a. 802.11ax wireless internet connectivity – initially the main focus of the enterprise and for the
first five years of operation will be more than 50% of the enterprise revenue. Unlike, residential
Wi-Fi, enterprise metro Wi-Fi allow clients to roam throughout the network, this creates value to
clients through mobile connectivity, this market can be broken down into
a. Students – with the University of Belize in Belmopan, many student can be connected to
their school through tele-education, and distant learning.
b. Tourist – with stakeholders in the Belmopan tourism market collaboration for managed
Wi-Fi access at resorts and hotels. Roaming connectivity is important here.
 c. Traveling Business People – those doing
business in Belmopan using secure VPN to
connect to corporate servers.
d. Professionals – this group conducts an amount
of business over the internet, whether
banking, e-commerce, or unified
communications securely.
b. Healthcare – this will be a huge sector and revenue
stream for the company, working with both
government and non-government health institution,
to patient vitals real-time monitoring. This is expected
to be a rapidly growing sector with smart devices and cities.
a. Wearables – based on the type and attributes of the wearable device, health monitoring.
b. Elderly care – tracking and monitoring of aged Belizeans living alone.
c. LBS – location, fall, physical position of the elderly
c. Security & Monitoring – an important civic sector, enterprise will immerse itself in creating a real-
time IP video monitoring. Public and private IP video traffic and transport is applicable, third party
security companies and police department can use video data on public and private monitoring.
a. Home Security – sensory, audio and visiual data from any IP enabled or IoT device in the
home.
b. Public Security – diferent cameras with varied capabilities, especially smart cameras
connected to AI in the network cloud.
d. Hospitality – this segment includes places where people aggregate and use their mobile devices
continuously
a. Hotels – managed Wi-Fi access to clients, with LBS included, all controlled by the hotel
b. Stadiums – the enterprise will connect the stadium to maximize data rates and provide
high QoS and QoE.
e. Utilities – this sector covers semi-governmental agencies such as Belize Electricity Limited and
Belize Water Service. These companies can install IP enabled wireless smart meters and collect
data in real time.
a. BWS – can utilize the platform for monitoring data points or for deploying smart metering
technologies.
b. BEL – the electrical company can use the platform to access and control monitoring
devices and deploy smart meter system technology in Belmopan.
f. Smart Cities – collaborating with the relevant stakeholders, the enterprise will work with the
community, businesses, and government to integrate the infrastructure for smart city. It will do
as much to maximize monetization of smart city apps.
a. Transport – an import sector, as more vehicle as equipped with mobile data links to their
operator
b. Garbage Disposal – smart bins can notify city operators when full
c. Energy Management – the city can use smart technologies for various management and
efficiencies using analytics.
g. BSSID/Shared Platform – here distribution and service companies, taxis, and delivery company
can use the platform to connect and locate vehicles throughout service footprint
 As we go forward the enterprise plans to diversify and
monetize as much sectors as possible, the objective is to
maximize revenues from all sectors. As a technology based
company, the enterprise will strive to maintain a foothold in
evolving and applicable technologies deployable on the
network. Belmopan is expected to grow rapidly as the main
government, and educational centre of the country. It also
holds economic power as the centre of the western part of the country. The network is easily scalable and
expandable to new serving footprint in the Belmopan area.

Financials

The total quotation cost for an 802.11 metro network in Belmopan is about $487,000.00 BZD. This capital
would provide the finances to buildout 45,000 feet and 55,000 of coaxial and optical cables respectively.
Major assets of the PHY access networks totals less than 37% of the total cost.

Naturally the network core carries the most cost with the CCAP core, Router, and Servers consuming most
of the financing of the network core. More than 50% of the finances will be consumed here, with other
prerequisites such as

a. Servers e. Remote PHY Node

b. Ethernet Router f. 90VAC UPS
c. Ethernet Switches g. Cables (coaxial & optical cables)
d. V-M-CMTS/CCAP Core h. Software (mostly Open Source)

From the excel spreadsheet it can be observed that for a six Remote PHY node, each node has 10GB optical
Ethernet link, at a minimum of 1GB/Access Point, then a maximum of 8 AP/Node. In high density, high
utilization zones such as Stadiums, Universities, and hotel conference rooms, this would drop to the
requirements of the serving area. OSP and all prerequisites approach $144,935.14 BZD or about 37.60%
of the finance needed for capital equipment purchase.

Roughly the 23%, is for other prerequisites for components and relevant equipment for the system.
Testing and monitoring devices are also included here. A full excel file is available with a more detailed
data on the equipment and cost. Also a profit & loss excel file for this business model is available. This
document describes the business idea and how it is monetized in the Belizean telecommunication market.
The enterprise can guarantee a share of the telecomm business as it bring new network architecture with
proven design concept and equipment.

A flexible network that has many IP applications and can evolve easily on the outside plant and network
core. This is a feasible business and the enterprise can provide more detail on any possible concerns of
involved stakeholders. As mention the risk is minimal as no operator has a business model close to this
and there is no network deployed using 802.11ax technology here in Belize. The enterprise will be the first
to provide the infrastructure for smart cities, IoT, AI, VR and other technologies such as Machine learning,
immersive technologies, any device that uses IP connectivity whether wired or wireless.
