Cost Allocation
Dualgrid manages all processes related to the cost allocation model. We periodically collect cost information from the network structure, validate the quality of the received information, and manage the entire cost allocation model, ensuring the transparency of costs for each shareholder.
Network Monitoring and SLAs
We gather information from shareholders to monitor the Shared Network´s performance and to track and report on its quality indicators. We also calculate the level of compliance with the service levels defined in the Sharing Agreement and report to the shareholders any failures in meeting the service levels.
Network Design
We align and optimize the planning of mobile access shared networks by developing a common network plan based on the individual plans of each shareholder. This ensures alignment and consensus among shareholders regarding costs, particularly in 50:50 logic for the construction of the new sites.
Confidentiality of Information
At Dualgrid, we safeguard commercially sensitive information through a "black box" mechanism, ensuring strict confidentiality. This approach guarantees the collection and processing of all confidential data as per the Sharing Agreement. Additionally, we implement robust procedures and necessary hardware/software systems to isolate and protect sensitive information effectively.
