Mobile network elements The below presents the list of network elements and method of their revaluation. We assume three possible approaches of network elements cost calculation: Direct capital cost of network elements will be calculated on engineering models. – Mark-up - capital cost of network elements will be calculated based on operators accounting data as a rate of CAPEX cost to network cost. Non calculated - elements do not participate in provision of wholesale termination traffic, therefore it cost do not have to be calculated.
