Eagle Telephonics, Inc. is involved in telephony infrastructure development.
We work with local telecommunications providers, helping them to improve
their service by providing them with a flexible, efficient, low cost operating
system. Eagle's product offerings include a central office, CDMA wireless
local loop system, satellite networks, and billing systems. Eagle's primary
product is a microprocessor driven central office called the Eagle DSCO.
Eagle Telephonics, Inc. has revolutionized and simplified telephony in
every facet, from the establishment of telephone networks to the billing
of customers for services.
Eagle provides a fast, economical service. Our technology is simple
to install and to use and is flexible, enabling the expansion of the infrastructure
to accommodate a company's growth. We achieve all this through the innovative
design of our microprocessor driven Eagle DSCO switch. All major component
levels of this system are connectorized, ensuring easy, error-free installation.
The miniaturization of circuitry allows for high subscriber line density.
Reduced circuitry also facilitates expansion, maintenance, and programming,
and reduces training requirements. In addition to simplicity and flexibility
of design, Eagle DSCO's field proven micro-design, VLSI and DSP technology,
and critical redundancy assure long-term reliable service. The micro-design
also allows for reduced power consumption.
Eagle also works with several satellite companies that further increase
the ease of installation and maintenance of the DSCO technology. Eagle
now has the ability to place switches very quickly anywhere in the world.
Locally installed DSCO's can join with other towns and villages in a network
that is interconnected via satellite. The DSCO is also designed for ease
of connection with "Wireless Local Loop" technology. Our product line also
offers a fully integrated state of the art CDMA system.
Eagle is also a pioneer in solving one problem that plagues rural telecom
infrastructure -- billing. The DSCO is designed to overcome the difficulties
of spotty or non-existent payment for services in rural locations or subscriber
unfamiliarity with the concept of credit billing. The DSCO allows for the
programming of pre-paid subscriber accounts and then continually checks
the usage of the subscriber against the prepaid amount. Should the subscriber
reach the prepaid amount limit, the DSCO will terminate or limit a subscriber's
calling ability according to a pre-programmed set of parameters. The unique
feature of this switch, when used with a well administrated prepaid system
results in a "Bad Debt Free" system.
Eagle's product line is ideally suited for telephone companies in emerging
countries or ones that are involved in infrastructure construction projects.
We can help a company get off the ground and we can accommodate its growth.
Simplicity, cost-effectiveness, reliability, and flexibility enable Eagle
to guide a company in every phase of growth.
The Company's specific business strategy is based on leveraging at the
maximum the competitive advantages of Eagle by not only selling Eagle equipment
but also creating JVs with qualified partners that will provide high added
value telecommunication services with growing recurrent revenue using the
Eagle technology.
1. Equipment Sales:
Eagle sells hardware and software to:
- Major telecom suppliers / system integrators / OEM manufacturers;
- Service providers/telecom operators;
- Ancillary service providers;
- Internet providers.
2. Recurrent Revenue Sharing
Selected telecom retail services with high added value such as debit card
platforms, international gateways, and broadband wireless local loop services
can provide exceptional cash flow opportunities. Eagle will leverage its
competitive cost and price-to-market advantage by providing partial vendor
financing against equity participation as a joint venture partner in telecom
service providers based upon the following principles:
a) Only retail services with high added value
b) Short term repayment of the Eagle equipment cost from operating
revenues
c) Ownership of the Eagle equipment transfers only when it's
fully repaid
d) Full control of the J/V cash flow locally by Eagle's management,
remotely controlled by Eagle's Real Time Billing System
There are several factors that make recurring revenue sharing possible
and attractive:
-
The telecom markets in the Emerging Nations are under intense pressure
to liberalize so that telecom infrastructure can help drive the economy.
Emerging Nations are appointing new service providers because the incumbent
PSTNs are traditionally governmental agencies that are notoriously inefficient
and international traffic revenue artificially props up these agencies.
International pressure to lower costs has already forced the Developed
Nations to dramatically lower interconnecting tariffs between these countries.
The Emerging Nations have little choice but to appoint market driven service
providers and to allow these companies to transport both national and international
traffic. This trend is already taking place. Because the new service providers
control the subscriber network side, they become the retail market. The
retail side of the market will enjoy attractive margins on international
traffic because of the monopoly nature of the new network providers. International
traffic wholesale providers margins will continue to shrink as competition
in this field will intensify.
-
Based upon Eagle top management's experience in emerging markets, the very
nature of helping to build new networks for new service providers requires
Eagle to work very closely with their upper management teams. Earning their
trust and respect leads to Eagle's equipment becoming the very heart of
their network.
-
The opportunity for participating in the recurring revenue of new service
providers can be very attractive for Eagle. We intend to participate only
at the retail level where acceptable margins can be maintained and ROI
is very high. The Company intends to use this policy to finance service
provider customers only when outstanding business opportunities present
themselves.
