FHP Wireless
What are the reasons FHP Wireless is having difficulty in getting sales and revenues?
FHP Wireless is has difficulty in getting sales and revenues because they are having a difficult time finding the right customers. They also don’t really have solid proof of their product working.

Their product would be helpful in warehouses and factories, casinos, hospitals, and college campuses. However, these customers find I too expensive or difficult to use the product.

Their product is also more expensive to install compared to installations of hot spots. People would rather go with what they know.

FHP Wireless can’t sell to the public because at this time most laptops do not have wireless. They need special wireless cards to add. There are also no smartphones around.

Another problem is that there are no companies that have the same functions of a metro-level Wi-Fi value chain. It would be difficult to get existing providers to support them because FHP Wireless might threaten them. There is also no one to install and use it.

How is FHP’s solution differentiated from customers’ other alternatives?

FHP’s solution differentiates from customers’ other alternatives in that it requires less backhaul. It needs one backhaul for every 30-50 nodes while in a Hotspot, it needs a backhaul for every single node. Per node, it has a higher cost per node. In the long run, the FHP Wireless Mesh would cost less than the cost of creating a Hotspot.

FHP’s performance is about the same as Hotspot Wi-Fi networks. However it is about 300-500 times faster than CDPD and 200-350 times faster than Motorola radio.

The cost of FHP Wireless ranges depending on how many nodes here are but it could potentially be cheaper than CDPD and Motorola radio.

CDPD is also going out of business. So the best option for outdoor use would be FHP because it is faster than Motorola radio.

Which customer(s) should they pursue(target)? Why?

FHP Wireless should target

    So what's next on the wireless horizon? A new standard, known as Very High Throughput (VHT), will feature data rates of between 4Gbps and 7Gbps, nearly five times the rate of 802.11n, and will operate on the 60GHz frequency band. As such, the new standard will likely have limited range and will be best suited to peer-to-peer applications such as streaming video from one device to another or moving very large chunks of data in a matter of seconds.…

I have the freedom to move around and access the internet from anywhere in my home. I do not have to sit in front of my computer and use the computer which would be wired. With that one advantage will also come a disadvantage one that comes to mind is video streaming which would be a little stronger coming from a wired network. New security has been configured also and would make it hard to access as it would have to be in a certain operating distance. In doing my research I came across a variety of hotspots. These hotspots are businesses that will offer wireless internet access to its customers. Some of these businesses will offer this access free while you are in their establishment others will offer a paid service fee for the privilege to access the internet.

    Riordan Enterprises has requested to look into the possibility of adding wireless capabilities to their existing network. The need for wireless is understandable. It enables employees to be productive from anywhere. If they need to travel to a potential customer in Montana, or are at a plastics conference in Hawaii the ability to connect to the Riordan’s intranet is vital. Not only does it allow the employee to continue to stay connected with work, it also allows them to share the intranet and all it has to offer to potential clients, as well as offering those potential clients use of the system for easier ordering and up to date financial and tracking information regarding their purchases.

    abstract: In order to offer future higher bandwidth applications, the choice for a fiber to the home (FTTH) network seems to be the best candidate. Still, as the full deployment of a new FTTH network involves tremendous civil works and costs, only the highly profitable areas, e.g. city centers, are currently being installed. With the installation of such FTTH networks, all involved parties stay with many questions. What will the future bring on demands from services, upgrades of equipment and maintenance of the new network? What are the next best areas to install and where will an FTTH network require additional public stimulants to succeed? What are the best business models to get a sustainable long term countrywide FTTH installation?…
