Dracon International connects Pacific telecommunications providers with world-class Chinese manufacturers through rigorous due diligence and seamless procurement protocols. For Telecom Niue's 30M Monopole Tower Project, we audited 20+ Chinese suppliers across Hebei Province's manufacturing heartland, applying forensic technical validation, factory inspections, and export history verification to identify Category 5 cyclone-capable suppliers.

Our Sourcing Protocol: Dracon's six-phase methodology encompasses supplier pre-qualification (ISO 9001, TIA-222, AS/NZS compliance), engineering software verification (MS Tower native AS/NZS 1170.2 modules), payment fraud prevention (legal entity validation, bank account verification), third-party SGS quality inspection, PE certification coordination, and freight management to Port Auckland.

Client Requirements: Niue's extreme specifications—75 m/s ULS wind (270 km/h Category 5), rock/coral foundation substrate, AS/NZS 1170.2:2021 compliance, 25-year coastal warranty, and March 2026 delivery—demanded suppliers with proven extreme wind engineering and Pacific export credentials.

Dracon's Delivery: Our Comparative Audit Report shortlisted three Tier 1

suppliers, delivering 60-80% cost savings ($29,000-$110,000) versus USA/European alternatives while maintaining full regulatory compliance. The report quantifies technical capabilities, PE certification pathways, manufacturing quality, commercial terms, and risk mitigation—enabling Telecom Niue's informed December 27, 2025, award decision with zero procurement risk.
