Intelecon specializes in rural telecommunications – probably the only consulting firm in the world with this emphasis.

From the early 1980’s, Intelecon’s founder and managing director, Andrew Dymond, has focused on the important role telecommunications plays in socio-economic development – particularly in rural, remote and poorly served urban areas.

Since founding Intelecon, Andrew has been joined by others who are expertly qualified and focused on rural telecommunications. Our multi-disciplinary expertise and the services we offer cover all issues in rural telecommunications:

• market (economic and commercial)
• technology (network and operations) and
• policy (development strategy and regulation)

(For an illustration of our worldwide experience with these issues, visit our Projects Worldwide page.)
