5 Marketing Research
In order to follow TAREC-IN’s business principle “One Step Ahead”, TAREC-IN prefer to
investigate the potentials in the market for Sources and Customers, rather than waiting for the
calls offering to Buy or Sell excess and idle equipment.
TAREC-IN AS has found interesting results by the study of market data from the WCIS data base
of global telecom operators. A thorough research has been conducted for the African Market,
in order to understand the mechanisms that currently subsist in this region.
An evaluation of this market with regards to potential Sources and Customers was conducted.
A number of areas and data were focused and evaluated.
Current and planned technology (2.5/3/4G, WiMax)
Operators subscriber base and market share
Forecast of subscribers and services
Operator’s KPI statistics, networking performance
Operators financial status and statistics of Opex/Capex, EbitDA
Studies to find each players performance in the market they serve, and their potential.
Each Operator’s technical performance, financial condition and future plans were evaluated,
and coupled with information of the current and planned expansions and/or swap of OEM and
technology. Each OEM’s market share and main supplier to the studied operators were
carefully noted. Assembling of this information and study of the operators multiple alternatives
of future build out, may give valuable indications of potential Sources and Customers.
TAREC-IN plan to perform similar market research in other regions of the global telecom
market, in order to determine our preferences of contact with potential business partners.
The documentation of the process of the Market Research is still to be outlined.
