Alpine Strategy Group, LLC.

Over the last few years, the telecommunications industry has undergone drastic transformation driven by a number of key factors, including deregulation, increased marketplace demands for distribution and bandwidth, broadening competition, and recent economic downturn.

Technology-driven change is as intense in telecommunications as it is in any industry. Convergence in the home, WiFi, Cable vs. DSL, cellular, VOIP, VPN and web conferencing are only a few examples of where change is rapid and competition is intense. In addition, public sector agencies tackling e-terrorism threats and undertaking new agency communication integration projects face enormous network connectivity and security challenges. Telecommunications systems are already stretched to capacity, and new investments in increased security are needed.

Despite the current economic challenges, Alpine expects the telecommunications industry to continue to undergo technological change and consolidation. We work closely with our clients to quickly assess their proprietary communications-related technologies, evaluate commercialization options, and develop strategies to capitalize on appropriate market opportunities.
