Streamlining fiber deployment for service providers with advanced design, engineering and operations.

So IQGeo came to us because more and more customers and prospective customers are asking us for an end to end solution. While focus has always been on in the engineering services part of the fiber rollouts, we do have workflow solutions. But we approached IQGeo because their Network Manager solution gives us an ability to fully automate some of these rollouts and give those customers that end to end, opportunity of having that rollout in a much more efficient way, quicker time to market. It is a fairly recent, partnership for us. We've already engaged with, IQGeo in certain places. We've even made them part of our own promotion as part of our fiber one solution that we presented at Mobile World Congress that includes the IQGeo Network Manager, as part of that solution. So in terms of the benefits that customers get is that that not only they get a turnkey solution which is more and more essential to them, because instead of having multiple solutions to have to manage, they know that there's a focal point they can use, also reduces when you automated, reduces their time to market, it allows them to have the return on their investment for the network rollout a lot quicker. Allows them to pinpoint their rollouts a lot more accurately, because when you have a digital twin that the network planning from IQGeo, that is learning with AI and ML gives them a more targeted way to choose where to actually roll out. we partnered with IQGeo in a large tier 1 CSP in the states where we're actually leveraging exactly this, where we have our engineering service is doing the network high level, low level design, but we are leveraging IQGeo’s Network Manager. Exactly to allow us to do that in a much more automated, in a more intelligent way, reducing that time to market, giving that customer their network rolled out in a fraction of the time that it could take, when you have to actually go through all of it manually, even though nowadays nothing is really just manually. But the more you can automate, the more you introduce efficiencies. It gives those customers a better bang for their buck. what we're excited with IQGeo, with the partnership is exactly giving us the ability to expand not only where we are already providing engineering services, but we need to, a solution that helps us to streamline our own processes, to give us more, be more efficient. But the other way around as well, where IQGeo is already there and has the solution but is lacking sometimes the muscle or the footprint in terms of engineering services that we can give them. The other area we're exploring with IQGeo very actively is how we can also be part of their system integration community. Integrating the IQGeo solution into customers, where sometimes it needs a bit more people to be able to do it quicker. And timing is essential for the for CSPs, especially when you talk about network rollout, when you're talking about planning, because the quicker they can plan, roll out the networks and actually have them live, the quicker they can monetize those networks.
