RFI or RFP responses from infrastructure vendors need to be evaluated. We can not only help create an RFI or RFP to send to wireless infrastructure vendors, but can also evaluate and compare the responses. For example, vendor responses can be analyzed and compared for the following broad categories:
- Product and features roadmap
- Product and features timing of availability
- Technical information on infrastructure elements (radio network, core network, back-office systems, etc.), such as performance
- Standards conformance
- Interoperability
- Pricing
The results of such an analysis help pick the best vendor(s) to match an operator’s business needs, using an independent process.
