SERVICES
Since 1992, Drucker
Associates has been providing to carriers, manufacturers, and other enterprises
a resource that is in remarkably short supply – objective technical
expertise. In today's increasingly complex
and competitive wireless industry, the need for such expertise has never been
greater.
Here are some of the key
technical areas Drucker Associates is uniquely qualified to deal with:
System Problem Resolution and Network Optimization
Drucker Associates is NOT in
the business of replacing your engineering department! Instead, with our extensive experience in analyzing
and optimizing CDMA and GSM systems, we will work WITH your engineers to
identify and solve design and configuration problems that rob your network of
performance and capacity. We can also
provide strategic assistance in system optimization, including advice on the
most cost effective approaches to enhancing coverage and capacity. Drucker Associates’ carrier clients
typically enjoy substantial cost and quality advantages over their competitors.
Network Technology Guidance and Deployment Strategies
To ensure success in the
fiercely competitive global wireless industry, wireless carriers must today
make strategic technology decisions for deploying and expanding systems in the
most cost-effective manner possible. In
mature networks, critical emphasis is now on deployment of “3G” data services
and on cost and quality management. At
the same time, exciting new wireless enterprises are emerging worldwide,
including CDMA-450
and WiMAX. In many cases, what is most
lacking is expert, objective technical guidance for the operators
involved. We are prepared to provide
such guidance in making critical technology choices, in vendor selections and
negotiations, and in strategic planning for new and mature system build-outs.
Technical Due Diligence
In the global arena of
venture capitalism and investment banking, there is enormous interest in all
aspects of the wireless industry. The
success of strategic investments often hinges upon detailed analysis of
technical feasibility and strength of engineering capability. Drucker Associates is uniquely qualified to
provide this crucial component of sound investment strategy.
Expert Witness
Elliott Drucker, President
of Drucker Associates, has extensive and highly successful experience in
providing expert witness consultation and testimony in matters relating to
wireless technology and the wireless industry.
This includes preparation of expert reports, advising counsel on
technical matters, and giving testimony at trial and in deposition.
Wireless VPN? Wireless-wireline
convergence? RFID? WLAN? Wireless e-commerce? Just about every enterprise can
take advantage of the expanding capabilities of wireless technologies, but few
have the expertise to determine how best to integrate them into their core
businesses. Unlike vendors and network service
providers, Drucker Associates can provide 100% objective, expert guidance to
enterprises of all types and sizes.
Product and Service Development (for Carriers)
The next few years promise
to bring about a vast new array of data-centric wireless services. Operators of mature networks need to
position their enterprises to take advantage, and this preparation must include
careful analysis of potential technical impacts on their networks as well as
maximizing the user
experience. Drucker Associates can
provide such analysis, as well as guidance in configuring systems to provide
high levels of customer satisfaction at the lowest possible cost.
Training
Some operators are trying to
deliver the wireless products and services of the 21st century with
networks designed and “optimized” using obsolete tools and practices that were
developed thirty years ago. As a result,
many of today’s largest networks are not providing peak capacity and
performance. Our two to five day
customized seminars on advanced system development methodology can provide your
engineering staff with the new insights they need to reduce cost and improve
network performance. These seminars
have been well received by a number of major carriers and infrastructure
vendors
Product Development (for Manufacturers)
Cellular, PCS, and other
wireless services provide outstanding opportunities for new product and service
development. However, optimal product
definition and technology selection are crucial to the success of such
developments. Drucker Associates can
provide the systems and product design expertise and experience needed to guide
your strategy for entering and prospering in the explosive wireless
telecommunications markets. Besides
leading edge technical expertise, we have an intimate understanding of how the
industry operates, and who the key "players" are. We can thus assist in defining the current
and future markets for your new product concepts.
Should you find yourself in
need of help in one of these areas, or any other involving wireless
communications technology, please contact us.
