Project Development

Are you planning a subsea project or considering an upgrade? Our experts can help you with Feasibility Studies, Strategy and Business Development or Network Planning and Design.

Network Design

Subsea networks are developing rapidly, capable of handling more fibre pairs and more capacity. We can find the most cost effective design and solution for your project, whether that is repeated or festoon types of connectivity.

Market Analysis

What is the available market for your services? How much is a fibre pair or capacity cost? Is there enough demand for your project to meet expectations? We can answer these questions by providing valuable data and trends.

Contracting

Commercial contracts with vendors—between consortium members and customers for fibre or capacity—on a subsea system can be extremely challenging. Our team of experts can assess your requirements and help you avoid common problems.

Financing

Are you looking to finance your subsea project? Our team of experts can support you whether you are looking for public-private-partnership models, equity or debt financing. We can also help you with asset valuation and budgetary cost estimates.

Sales & Marketing

Finding customers for your project can be a barrier to revenue. We assess your offer and provide insights into the subsea market. We have a suite of services to help you to position your products & services to the right audience.
