Evaluation of PANAFTEL network

Within the scope of an international co-operation project involving the Canadian government and five West Africa countries, YRH was mandated to participate in the technical evaluation of the conclusion of three of the implemented programs.
These programs included:

• A project for institutional support - (PAI)
• A project for the improvement, modernization and expansion of the network - (PAMER)
• Equipment : Line of credit (maintenance of network) - (LDC)
  

The evaluation must cover, amongst others, the following aspects:

• The autonomy of the Telecommunications organizations of Burkina Faso;
• Profitability;
• Management practices;
• Technical autonomy;
• Personnel formation.
  

The assessment was achieved by means of meetings with the various representatives, managers, equipment users, operators and with surveys covering all aspects of the three programs. The evaluation criteria used included the merit of the project, the efficiency of the program, the impact, the viability and the future of the implemented program.

Design and deployment of a microwave network

YRH was mandated to validate the possibility of connecting a number of sites in Senegal with the use of microwave links.
Within the scope of the project, the field mission allowed us to confirm that possibility and collect data that served to provide a telephone service in remote locations. The proposed systems, the SR-100 and the SR-500, both of Canadian manufacturers, deliver a telephone service of high quality to the targeted towns and village.
Thus, we performed field studies, path surveys, and calculations with regards to antenna heights.
