THE AUSTRALIAN TELECOMS INFRASTRUCTURE DATABASE AND BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE SERVICE

Market Clarity offers a unique resource for anyone planning to invest in telecommunications infrastructure in Australia. Market Clarity's Telecoms Infrastructure Database (IDB) provides an inventory of Australia's transmission infrastructure, from DSLAM deployments and fixed wireless broadband base stations through HFC networks, mobile base station locations, access fibre, long-haul fibre, and point-to-point microwave systems.

This is combined with Market Clarity's Market Tracker Telecoms Market History and Forecast Databases and comprehensive geographic and socio-economic analysis of infrastructure location, based on ABS Census information, allowing our customers to gain a highly granular understanding of the potential markets for new infrastructure, including population density, number of households, and number of businesses.

Market Clarity can also analyse this against our service provider and forecast databases, creating a powerful competitive tool for our customers. Additional information is available here.

For enterprise customers, Market Clarity’s Benchmark process provides a concise, clear and accurate position our customer’s position in the market at a specific point in time. Market Clarity’s benchmarks are presented in an easy-to-understand format that both our enterprise customers and suppliers easily understand the results, providing an important input into the ongoing dialogue between the customer and the suppliers. 

Whether you're tendering for new telecommunications services or re-negotiating existing services, price benchmarking is a vital tool to help keep telecommunications costs under control. Market Clarity offers benchmarking for a host of retail and wholesale telecommunications services, including:

Market Clarity’s benchmarks can be used by enterprise or wholesale customers to renegotiate arrangements with incumbent suppliers such as when demand patterns change, or when new technology offers alternative sourcing options. 

Market Clarity ensures that all participants in the benchmark process (clients and respondents) acknowledge the relevance and accuracy of the core inputs into the process. Market Clarity’s preferred benchmark methodology is to engage with our client as early in a market testing process as possible in order to obtain optimal results, and strategic advice on procurement related issues. 

Market Clarity’s current market information, databases, GIS-based visualisation techniques, and unique analytical skills and experience ensure an accurate and professional benchmark. 

Custom benchmarks are undertaken on the basis of a fixed-price quotation basis.
