5 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Changes in Enterprise Communications Ubiquity of mobile device use Wireless displacement of land lines Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Increasing dependence on wireless apps Wireless app use in critical business functions Increasing data/capacity demands Users expect a high quality of service for both cellular and Wi-Fi

6 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. The Experts are Saying … The focus is shifting from deploying cellular network infrastructure in large public venues to the enterprise ―According to ABI Research, in-building wireless market revenue will double to $9B by 2020 ―“The market has become very focused on the enterprise” – Joe Madden, Mobile Experts ―Fundamental DAS drivers remain unchanged and include coverage, capacity, spectrum efficiency, interference mitigation, data support, scalability, and adaptability – Infonetics Research

8 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. 8 Cellular Wireless Challenges in the Enterprise

9 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. It’s Still About Coverage in the Enterprise Rapid carrier network evolution leaves gaps in coverage; service indoor often not guaranteed We haven’t overcome the insulation of the indoor from outdoor Construction Signal Dominance Enterprises typically plan on 100-150 square feet per person Average employee uses <100 MB data/day

10 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Green Initiatives are Good for Energy Efficiency – Not so Good for RF Efficiency Construction & type of building has a great impact on wireless system performance & ease of installation Energy efficient buildings shield cell tower signals. 2.8B square feet of LEED-certified building space ~45% of new non-residential construction will be ‘green’ this year

11 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. What’s The Answer?* *it depends

12 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Enterprise Wireless Requirements 1.Coverage everywhere A.In most enterprises user density is low, therefore capacity is not the issue B.Data usage is primarily achieved via WiFi, not cellular data networks 2.Support of one or more wireless operators, to accommodate not only employees/staff, but in some instances “roaming” visitors. 3.Support of one or more wireless frequencies (700, 850, 1900, AWS) 4.Minimal disruption to operations during system installation. 5.A system which is easily upgraded to handle future coverage and capacity requirements. 6.Mitigation of interference issues between mobile devices and other equipment (healthcare, robotics, etc.) 7.Aesthetically unobtrusive (invisible) 8.No safety hazards to the staff l

13 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Repeater –Brings in RF from the outdoor macro cellular network –Low cost –Not dedicated capacity; variable performance throughout area Distributed Radios –Small radios called picocells and femtocells (based on power level) –Do not rely on the macro network for switching and hand-offs –Evolving technology often used for ‘Hotspot’ solutions for 1 or few “services” Passive Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) –RF is distributed over coax cables to antennas throughout a building or area –Low performance solution as coax cable losses lower power & signal quality over distance; performance is not uniformly reliable –Requires an RF source to feed the system Active Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) –Fiber-optic based RF distribution system –System converts and amplifies signals throughout an area; amplifiers close to the user for optimal network performance –High and low power solutions available for medium-sized buildings to large macro networks –Requires an RF source to feed the system There are Many Coverage & Capacity Tools

14 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Low power amplifiers connected by cabling & distributed to deliver cellular (licensed-band) services: Connected to the cellular network Centralized backhaul connection to service provider (central office) 2G/3G/4G service agnostic Distributed by fiber, coax or Ethernet throughout local area What are Distributed Antenna Systems and Where is DAS Deployed? To improve wireless coverage and capacity in areas where cell towers can’t be installed or adequately provide service: Malls, hotels, casinos, arenas, stadiums, hospitals Campuses & public spaces Urban or suburban areas Tunnels, coastlines, canyons High-rise, MDU, Enterprise

15 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Enterprise DAS

16 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. DAS is a Cost-Effective & Flexible Solution for Wireless Coverage and Capacity Flexible and scalable solution to accommodate single or multiple operators and frequencies Easy to design Active DAS is similar to Wi-Fi, easy to install Seamless interaction with the macro network Pay as you go, minimize up front investment Equipment may be centralized, keeping maintenance costs low Simple RF management – easy to add coverage Longevity of investment through scalability – capacity added when needed Main Hub Remote Expansion Fiber Cable Thin Coax

17 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Things to Consider

18 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Key Questions to “Right-Size” the Solution What’s the issue: coverage, capacity, or both? How many wireless users do you have (employees and guests)? Is wireless data supported via WiFi, cellular data, or both? ―Today LTE is a data-only service Does one wireless carrier dominate usage in the facility? Is support for multiple operators necessary?

19 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Facility and Installation Considerations – Potential Cost Impacts Type of environment - Open layout, dense, mixed use Building’s construction materials (sheetrock, metal, concrete, etc.) RF design goals (required strength of signal) What type of cable infrastructure is installed and/or will be required? Is there dark fiber available? Are there any special installation requirements? Is conduit required? –~50% labor premium –How much conduit; Required in just the horizontals or everywhere? –How large is the conduit; how many fibers; how long are the runs? Building-code requirement or environmental need based on facility type Are there any fire code requirements? Working hours, access arrangements

20 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Special Requirements Hospitals Tenting, union and/or incumbent installer, conduit, core drilling, work hour restrictions, validation of drawings (lead-lined walls), proper definition of coverage requirements (e.g. Operating Rooms, boiler rooms, etc.), RF management plan. Campus Union and/or incumbent installer, validation of facility drawings and fiber map, conduit, work hour restrictions, core drilling, high lift Manufacturing Union labor, conduit, work hour restriction, high lift Airport Union labor, security clearance, conduit, work hour restriction, high lift, RF management plan. Hospitality Work hour restrictions, historic architecture, union labor (regional) Corporate Office Union labor, conduit, work hour restriction

21 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. In Search of the Holy Grail The Bridgekeeper’s Three Questions 21

22 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Is “DC to Daylight” Necessary in the Enterprise? AT&TVerizonSprintT-Mobile 700MHzData - 850MHzVoice -- 1900MHzDataVoiceVoice/DataVoice AWSData - A solution which supports 700MHz, 850Mhz, 1900MHz and AWS frequencies can deliver 2G/3G/4G coverage and capacity for all 4 major U.S. wireless operators

23 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. What About Using Existing WLAN for DAS? Not recommended because: Different technologies – different antenna footprint ―Wi-Fi has 6-8x more access points than a typical active DAS Unknown performance of installed copper plant The cost of the additional cable is negligible There’s no cost-efficient and simple solution available today

24 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Should Cellular & Public Safety Be On The Same System? Reasons to Combine Very similar RF penetration challenges “Always on” service expectation; cellular nearing “mission critical” Reduce cost by using common infrastructure and materials Reasons to Differentiate Ownership & maintenance responsibility may be different RF stability differences Single point of failure Some jurisdictions mandate separation of systems (150+) Traffic prioritization (>40k calls daily) RF design plan may be unique Different location priorities (stairwells versus board rooms) Different capacity loads demand different amounts of amplifiers

26 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Common Business Models

27 TE Connectivity Confidential & Proprietary. Do not reproduce or distribute. Enterprise Funding Challenges Financing in a BYOD? Multiple devices per user for which WiFi and mobile services expected Carrier portability doesn’t support carrier-paid investments in buildings Carrier ROI models are getting tougher Neutral Hosts can’t make the numbers work in enterprises At the end of the day, in most cases, it will be the responsibility of the enterprise to select and fund a solution
