1. Focus Areas Stay ahead of capacity needs – Network Densification
Network modernization

2. Densification Drivers
EBS/BRS is where they most of their holding. Not very useful right now. As time goes on they may be able to tap into it. You must use TDD technology in EBS/BRS. Thus, the comment on limited ecosystem.
EBS is also allocated to religious and education institutions as well as them. It’s a site based licensed as opposed to geographic. So, a school can license it for a location and its use to other around it are limited.

6. 4G In Building Challenges
Provide Voice Experience Parity with CDMA
Upgrade in building systems to 4G
4G capacity solutions
IBS driven with dedicated RF sources ( i.e. small cell, eNodeB)
OTA (Over The Air Systems/Repeaters (Passive/Active))
Requires Fiber/Ethernet backhaul – additional cost consideration for ROI
Customer benefits from dedicated capacity
New in building solutions focus on 4G only solutions
Femto cells for smaller deployments use customer provided backhaul
Spider Cloud/ Ericsson DOT solutions reduce cost using distributed RF using Ethernet CAT 5/6/7 cabling – (Backhaul still required, 1/3 cost of traditional DAS dependent on access to existing Ethernet cabling)
Preferred solution requires network team involvement

7. Design Philosophy In-building Small Cells Emerging indoor solutions
700MHz and AWS frequencies
Installed directly indoors
Or used to drive in-building DAS
Emerging indoor solutions
Augmenting in-building coverage and capacity
Dedicated capacity

8. Design Philosophy Enterprise Femtocells Very localized coverage
Deployed individually or as coordinated cluster
Customer provided backhaul
Minimum requirement 25Mbps+
Network Owned asset
