Webinar Overview

For WISPs, growth is no longer just a technical challenge. It is an economic one.

With ARPU largely flat across most markets, every decision around subscriber modules, access points, and upgrade timing directly impacts long-term profitability. The challenge is not just building capacity. It is doing so in a way that protects margins while allowing the network to evolve.

This webinar focuses on the financial realities of scaling a WISP network, including how to transition from legacy platforms such as ePMP™ 2000, ePMP 3000, or competitive solutions, to the ePMP 4000 series in a way that maximizes return on investment.

We will also explore how newer subscriber modules like the ePMP Force 4518 and 4616 help WISPs match cost and performance to specific deployment needs, whether extending range, increasing sector efficiency, or optimizing cost per subscriber.

Instead of requiring disruptive upgrades, ePMP enables a step-by-step evolution model. Operators can enhance performance, introduce new SMs, and increase capacity incrementally without resetting their entire cost structure.

What You’ll Learn

• Why ARPU versus subscriber cost is one of the most important equations in WISP profitability
• How to evaluate 5-year cash flow across different subscriber and platform strategies
• The economic impact of upgrading from ePMP 2000, ePMP 3000, or legacy 11n and 11ac networks to ePMP 4000
• How ePMP Force 4518 and 4616 allow a blendeded CAPEX approach enabling better alignment between cost, range, and performance
• How to start with a small cell or low density sector and expand as you prove the take rate
• How to scale subscriber density without breaking your cost model
