Problem & Solution

5G FWA broadband at 60% the cost of fiber, deployed in 90 days vs 18 months

The Problem

Tier-2 and Tier-3 European cities are structurally underserved by fiber — incumbent ROI doesn't justify trenching costs in markets under 250K households. The result: 18M EU households are stuck on copper DSL at <50Mbps while paying €35+/month, with no competitive alternative.

Our Solution

A fixed-wireless access network leveraging 3.5GHz mid-band spectrum to deliver 500Mbps+ symmetric broadband at €29/month. 90-day metro deployment vs 18-month fiber buildout. Self-install customer-premise equipment, automated service activation, and no truck rolls for 95% of installs.

Market Opportunity

€42B EU Broadband addressable today

FWA segment growing 31% CAGR · displacing copper DSL in underserved metros

Consumer broadband subscriptions (€29–€59/mo, 24-month average tenure) and SMB symmetric plans (€89–€249/mo). Self-install reduces unit acquisition cost by 65% vs incumbent truck-roll model. Wholesale capacity to MVNOs as secondary revenue.

Valuation, Capital Structure & Forward View

An investment is a bet on the forward plan, so a trailing snapshot isn't enough. These are derived from this report's own ask and projections — not external estimates.

Capital Structure & Funding

A blended equity + debt structure — this round layers a credit facility (loan / project / trade / inventory finance) on top of the equity cheque. That puts leverage, debt service and lender covenants into the capital structure: drawdown conditions and coverage ratios are first-order diligence items, not footnotes.

How to read these

Rule of 40 sums forward revenue growth and EBITDA margin — ≥40 is healthy; below it flags growth bought at the cost of profit. Capital efficiency is Year-5 revenue per dollar raised. Entry multiple divides the disclosed cap / pre-money / asking price by Year-3 revenue, shown only where disclosed (n/d = not derivable). Verify against primary diligence.

Traction & Proof Points

Moat & Exit Strategy

Defensible Moat

First-mover spectrum licenses across 36 European Tier-2 cities create 5–8 year exclusivity windows competitors can't replicate. Software-defined network ops reduce per-subscriber cost 40% below incumbent baselines. NPS gap (64 vs 21) drives organic acquisition lowering blended CAC vs telco peers.

Exit Path

Strategic acquisition by a European tier-1 telco (Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Vodafone) absorbing the subscriber base + spectrum, or sale to a satellite-broadband platform seeking terrestrial network, within 5–7 years at 6–9x revenue.

Key Risks

When the Thesis Breaks

Read this before trusting the forward numbers. The case rests on operating leverage — revenue growth converting into a holding-or-expanding EBITDA margin. The fastest way it breaks: a period where revenue grows but EBITDA falls (margin compression).

If any of the Key Risks above materialise, the forward projections in this report should be treated as suspended until the model is re-underwritten. The single most material trigger to watch: Spectrum regulator policy shifts affecting 3.5GHz allocations.
