Scenarios
The tool provides built-in connectivity scenarios to guide the analysis. Each scenario defines how the connectivity models are parameterised and determines the best technologies to use for connecting points of interest (POIs) according to a specific logic. Details of the available scenarios are outlined below.
Maximise Operator Net Present Value (NPV)
Scenario parameters
There are scenario-level parameters which need to be provided, as summarised in the table below.
| Description | Example value |
|---|---|
| Budget (USD) | 1,000,000 |
| Project planning period (years) | 10 |
| Demand per user (Mbps) | 1.5 |
The diagram below illustrates the Maximise Operator Net Present Value (NPV) scenario. This scenario focuses on connecting as many points of interest as possible while maximizing the operator's net revenue.

Minimise Operator Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Scenario parameters
There are scenario-level parameters which need to be provided, as summarised in the table below.
| Description | Example value |
|---|---|
| Project planning period (years) | 10 |
| Demand per user (Mbps) | 1.5 |
The diagram below illustrates the Minimise Operator Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) scenario. This scenario focuses on connecting as many points of interest as possible while minimizing the operator's cost of ownership (which includes both Capital Expenditure and Operational Expenditure).
