|
||
<h2 id="purpose">Purpose</h2>
|
||
<p>Establishing the infrastructure required to provide telecom
|
||
services.<br />
|
||
The Open Access Network can used by multiple operators to provide their
|
||
services.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="background">Background</h3>
|
||
<p>In the initial phases of cable installation in Male’ the
|
||
responsibility of installing cables was entrusted to companies such as
|
||
Dhiraagu, Medianet, and Raajjé Online. However, when Ooredoo entered the
|
||
market to provide internet services, they encountered challenges in
|
||
establishing their own cable infrastructure in Male’. Consequently, they
|
||
had to form a partnership with Medianet and utilize their existing cable
|
||
network to deliver Ooredoo internet services.</p>
|
||
<p>In Hulhmale’ Phase 1, Raajjé Online is still unable to provide
|
||
services using the same method as in Male’. While companies like
|
||
Dhiraagu and Medianet have been able to install their cables and offer
|
||
services, Raajjé Online has faced challenges in establishing their own
|
||
infrastructure in Phase 1. As a result, they have not been able to
|
||
provide their services in the same manner as in Male’.</p>
|
||
<h3 id="lessons-learned-and-implementation">Lessons Learned and
|
||
Implementation</h3>
|
||
<p>Taking valuable insights from this experience, Urbanco undertook the
|
||
task of cable installation in Hulhmale’ Phase 2. This strategic decision
|
||
aimed to ensure a smoother and more efficient process for enabling
|
||
multiple service providers to offer their services. As a result, Phase 2
|
||
of Hulhmale’ now boasts the availability of Ooredoo, Medianet, Dhiraagu,
|
||
and Raajjé Online services, facilitated by Urbanco’s proactive approach
|
||
to cable installation.</p>

<h3 id="benefits">Benefits</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Facilitates the participation of multiple parties in providing
|
||
internet, TV, and other services, enhancing competition and expanding
|
||
opportunities.</li>
|
||
<li>Establishes a free island-wide security network, ensuring enhanced
|
||
safety measures.</li>
|
||
<li>Stimulates growth opportunities for individuals, fostering economic
|
||
and technological advancement.</li>
|
||
<li>Enables the council or an individual to initiate the distribution of
|
||
internet or other services, empowering them to become service
|
||
providers.</li>
|

</ul>
|
||
<h3 id="future-proof-infrastructure">Future-Proof Infrastructure</h3>
|
||
<p>The cable installation project incorporates cutting-edge technology,
|
||
ensuring its viability and compatibility with future communication,
|
||
security, and media requirements.</p>
|
||
<p>With cable redundancy, the network is designed with multiple cables
|
||
running parallel to each other. In the event of a cable break, the
|
||
system can seamlessly switch over to an alternative cable, allowing
|
||
service to continue without disruption. This redundancy feature enhances
|
||
the reliability and resilience of the network, minimizing downtime and
|
||
ensuring a consistent and uninterrupted experience for residents.</p>
|
||
<p>By implementing cable redundancy, the cable installation project not
|
||
only safeguards against potential disruptions but also provides a robust
|
||
and reliable infrastructure that can withstand unforeseen events. This
|
||
ensures that residents can rely on the network for essential services,
|
||
such as internet, TV, and other communication needs, even in challenging
|
||
circumstances.</p>

<p>The project cost breakdown includes the necessary equipment and
|

components for the cable installation. However, it’s important to note
|

that the pricing for digging labor is not included in the provided cost
|

estimate. The council will be responsible for arranging the necessary

digging labor and associated costs for the project. This collaboration
|

will ensure that the cable installation proceeds smoothly and in

compliance with local regulations and requirements.</p>

|

<p>The total project cost amounts to MVR 345,000, which can be paid
|

within a span of 1 year through monthly installments of MVR 28,750.
|
||
Additionally, there is a one-time payment of MVR 1000 for the OLT
|

(client router).</p>

<h3 id="implementation-and-service-provider">Implementation and Service
|

Provider</h3>
|
||
<p>The cable installation project will be carried out by True Service
|
||
Pvt Ltd, a reputable company specializing in telecommunications
|
||
infrastructure and services.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="providing-internet-and-media-with-this-new-network">Providing
|
||
Internet and Media with this new network</h2>
|
||
<p>To ensure the success of this initiative, It is important that
|
||
council establish a partnership with existing nationwide service
|
||
providers, including Dhiraagu, ROL, MediaNet, and Ooredoo so that they
|
||
can utilize this network as soon as it is operational. To initiate this
|
||
partnership, I recommend forming a working group consisting of council
|
||
representatives and service provider representatives. Together, we can
|
||
develop a mutually beneficial agreement outlining responsibilities,
|
||
commitments, and benefits for all parties involved.</p>
|
||
<p>This initiative also enables the council or individuals to start
|
||
distributing internet via the new cable infrastructure.</p>
|
||
<h3
|
||
id="benefits-of-the-council-providing-internet-services-include">Benefits
|
||
of the council providing internet services include:</h3>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Elevating residents’ quality of life and education by enabling free
|
||
communication within the island, fostering connectivity and knowledge
|
||
sharing.</li>
|
||
<li>Offering robust parental control features to ensure a safe online
|
||
environment for all users, particularly families and children.</li>
|
||
<li>Providing a dedicated network for education and health services,
|
||
promoting access to essential resources.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Additionally, the council could potentially offer internet services
|
||
at a more affordable rate compared to existing providers, allowing
|
||
residents to access high-quality internet at a lower cost. This could
|
||
result in a profit of MVR 300 per house, amounting to MVR 25,800 for the
|
||
existing 86 houses, with the potential for growth as the number of
|
||
households increases in the future.</p>
|
||
<p>By leveraging economies of scale and efficient management, the
|
||
council can create a competitive advantage in the market, benefiting
|
||
residents with affordable internet services while maintaining a
|
||
sustainable financial model.</p>
