Before leasing a new tower site or building a mast, it's crucial to calculate the Break-Even Point (BEP). This tells you how many months it will take to recover your initial investment (CAPEX) using the monthly net profit.
Key Metrics
- CAPEX (Capital Expenditure): One-time costs like equipment, construction, labor, and installation fees.
- OPEX (Operating Expenditure): Recurring monthly costs like tower lease, electricity, insurance, and backhaul connectivity.
- ARPU (Average Revenue Per User): The average monthly subscription fee paid by a client.
