The 160-page White Paper, commissioned by Lachman & Malik Capital Partners, LLC, outlines and scopes the opportunity of BWA networks, FTTH/O systems, and Fiber Optic Middle and “last mile” infrastructures. The basis of the White Paper itself is on GSI’s proprietary FiberBroadband Strategy, which is the culmination of seven years of research, development, planning and engineering that lays out a business model to build and operate large-scale next-generation infrastructures. In addition, it includes extensive market studies on existing and planned wireless projects including muni-WiFi, WiMAX and 700 MHz, and wireline projects such as Verizon’s FiOS project, which is based on Passive Optical Network (PON) technology.

The White Paper evaluates business and industry elements of the current telecommunications infrastructure and shows the benefits or implementing a new infrastructure from the ground up. The estimated total costs of deploying FTTH/O and BWA is estimated at US$40 billion. GSI has devised a comprehensive strategy that minimizes the $40 billion dollar investment to just US$1.5 billion, a fraction of the total estimated cost.

GSI has developed a business planning and marketing strategy that lays out several scenarios and intends to enter the broadband digital services field with a radically simple technical strategy and a triple-bottom line business model. The White Paper outlines how this FTTH/O connection of 1 Gbps and 100 Mbps wireless deployment is to be accomplished technically and financially. Other topics addressed are limitations and challenges within wireless, WiFi, FTTH/O and the project details concerning the GSI pilot project slated for March 2008.
