Innovation and competitiveness are at the heart of telecom operators' challenges, especially when addressing major issues such as the establishment of 5G networks for large-scale international events. In this demanding context, Sofrecom provided its expertise to an operator for the design and implementation of a 5G Labs project around the Paris 2024 Olympics. Let’s explore in detail the rigorous methodology deployed by Sofrecom and the concrete benefits delivered to the client.
Project objectives
The main objective of this project was to launch a 5G Labs in two weeks. To achieve this, it was crucial to produce the necessary documents within four weeks, a challenge that would have been impossible without Sofrecom's support. Additionally, securing a grant for the project's implementation was a major concern. Contributions from various internal and external stakeholders were essential to build a solid and innovative project.
Methodology implemented by our experts
Sofrecom established a step-by-step rigorous methodology to assist the operator in designing and implementing the 5G Labs project while adhering to its scheduling constraints.
First, an identification phase of the expected response components was initiated, followed by the definition of a detailed work plan. This proactive approach allowed for framing the project from its inception, considering time and resource constraints. Simultaneously, Sofrecom organized and facilitated strategic meetings to aggregate contributions from various internal and external stakeholders, including representatives from the operator's relevant departments and external parties.
This collaborative approach fostered a comprehensive view of the project, integrating the diverse and complementary expertise of each involved actor. The core of Sofrecom's methodology lay in the co-design of the 5G Labs project, involving in-depth reflection on technical, financial, and administrative aspects. Rigorous monitoring of progress, budget construction, and drafting of annexes were crucial steps to ensure the project's overall coherence and viability.
Customer benefits: a tangible value proposition
Sofrecom's support enabled the operator to present a solid and comprehensive technical proposal for the 5G Labs project, meeting the expectations of the BPI (Public Investment Bank) regarding the establishment of a 5G Labs network for the 2024 Olympics. Furthermore, Sofrecom provided valuable assistance in drafting an RFP (Request for Proposal) for the BPI, as well as responding to a call for contributions issued by the BPI as part of the national recovery plan.
The concrete benefits for the client were manifold. First, the rigorous methodology deployed by Sofrecom allowed for meeting tight deadlines by producing the necessary documents on time. Additionally, securing the targeted grant for the project's implementation was made possible thanks to Sofrecom's expertise and support. Finally, the operator benefited from a tangible value proposition with the design of a 5G Labs project.
This solid proposal strengthened the operator's competitive position for the 2024 Olympics while opening up long-term innovation and strategic development opportunities.
Sofrecom's support was crucial in the design and implementation of the 5G Labs project for the 2024 Olympics, providing a rigorous methodology and concrete benefits to the client. This fruitful collaboration illustrates Sofrecom's commitment to supporting operators in realizing innovative and competitive projects while actively contributing to the evolution of the telecommunications sector.
