Tactis: The "project maker" serving the private sector, investors, and regulators

Migration to new networks

Faced with the massive use of so-called "wireless" applications and the explosion of data flows, operators and businesses are adapting their connectivity service offerings. To guide them towards these new technological horizons, Tactis offers:

• International benchmarks to study the possibilities offered by new generations of fixed and mobile networks (FTTx, 5G, IoT, cloud, data centers),
• Missions to implement innovative broadband infrastructures (experiments, launch of new services),
• Product positioning studies based on geomarketing analyses.

These studies are conducted in conjunction with Tactis' Engineering division, which anchors the recommended solutions in a resolutely operational technical context.

Business Model Change

With over 20 years of experience supporting international institutions (EBRD, EIB, World Bank) and private players in the telecommunications sector, Tactis has recognized economic and financial expertise. In an increasingly competitive market environment marked by numerous acquisitions, Tactis has developed solid expertise enabling it to:

• technical due diligence to assess the technical viability of targeted assets and the associated costs (capex, opex),
• commercial due diligence to challenge business plans and identify potential risks and opportunities through value chain expertise and market knowledge,
• strategic studies to assess relevant operational arrangements for the deployment of digital infrastructures.

Tactis's experience in business model change covers a wide variety of assets such as FTTx networks, indoor/outdoor mobile networks, and data centers.

Evolution of the Regulatory Framework

The institutional and regulatory framework of the telecommunications sector is undergoing profound changes driven by the rapid evolution of technologies and services provided to end users. As such, Tactis conducts various types of studies on behalf of national regulators in France and abroad:

• Studies on the technical and economic conditions for infrastructure sharing between multiple service providers,
• Studies on pricing redesign for the provision of mobile and fixed broadband services
• Preparation and implementation of mobile and fixed license allocation processes and assistance with spectrum management,
• Studies on the design and implementation of regulatory measures targeting universal coverage services in France and internationally.

Furthermore, Tactis has been working alongside national regulators for over 15 years through technical and regulatory training provided by the firm's experts.
