01 — The Challenge

The Connectivity Gap

Syria's digital backbone has fallen behind regional and global benchmarks. Closing the gap is not a consumer upgrade — it is foundational national infrastructure.

Current Network
0 Mbps
RiseNet Target
0 Mbps

≈ 4.5× uplift in baseline broadband performance

Limited Broadband Availability

Fixed broadband reaches only a fraction of households, concentrating capacity in major urban centers.

Growing Demand

Data consumption is rising faster than network capacity, straining existing mobile infrastructure.

Rural Connectivity Gaps

Communities outside metropolitan areas remain under-served, deepening the digital divide.

Infrastructure Funding Challenges

Fiber-to-the-Home at national scale demands capital that traditional models cannot mobilize alone.

02 — The RiseNet Model

Build Today. Fund Tomorrow.

RiseNet uses existing infrastructure efficiently while creating a self-financing path toward long-term fiber modernization. Each stage funds the next.

  1. 01

    Current Mobile Networks

    Leverage deployed cellular assets as the launch layer.

  2. 02

    Fixed Wireless Access

    Deliver broadband-class speeds over existing radio infrastructure.

  3. 03

    Revenue Generation

    Subscriber growth produces sustainable, recurring cash flow.

  4. 04

    Fiber Infrastructure Fund

    Earnings are ring-fenced into a dedicated national fiber fund.

  5. 05

    Nationwide FTTH

    Capitalize fiber-to-the-home across the country, region by region.

A virtuous loop: rapid wireless deployment funds the patient capital required for permanent fiber — without waiting for grant cycles or unsustainable subsidies.

03 — Implementation Models

Three Pathways to Deployment

Each model represents a viable route to national broadband — distinguished by speed, competition dynamics, and degree of strategic sovereignty.

Model 01 Fastest Deployment

Strategic Partnership Model

Syriatel + MTN Syria

  • Existing infrastructure
  • Shared capacity
  • Rapid rollout
  • Lower CAPEX
Model 02 Maximum Competition

Independent Infrastructure Operator

New Market Entrant

  • New investment
  • Dedicated network
  • 5G-ready architecture
  • Market competition
Model 03 Strategic Sovereignty

National Infrastructure Model

Syrian Telecom

  • Government-led deployment
  • National backbone utilization
  • Rural-first approach
  • Direct FTTH integration
04 — Technical Requirements

Network Integrity First

Deployment is governed by enforceable engineering gates. No site is activated until it demonstrably protects existing service quality.

MSTR Pre-deployment gate

Maximum Sustainable Throughput Report

72–96 hours of continuous traffic observation is required before any FWA deployment is approved, validating sustained capacity under real load.

PRB Monitoring

Cells exceeding 70% PRB utilization cannot onboard additional subscribers until capacity expansion is delivered — protecting existing users.

Backhaul Readiness

Every deployment area must demonstrate at least 1 Gbps of sustainable backhaul capability before activation is permitted.

05 — The Hybrid Approach

The Recommended National Strategy

The recommended approach combines rapid deployment, private-sector investment, and long-term national infrastructure planning — sequenced across three phases.

  1. P1
    Phase 1

    Partnership Deployment

    Model 01

    Activate Fixed Wireless Access through strategic operator partnerships for the fastest possible expansion of broadband access.

  2. P2
    Phase 2

    Investor Expansion

    Model 02

    Open the market to independent infrastructure operators, injecting private capital and 5G-ready competition.

  3. P3
    Phase 3

    Nationwide Fiber Evolution

    Model 03

    Channel accumulated revenue into government-led FTTH, completing the transition to permanent national fiber.
