2. AGENDA The State of LTE 4G LTE Applications Future of LTE / Mobile Broadband Q&A

3. THE STATE OF LTE

4. THE MOBILE DATA EXPLOSION Key Facts: Global mobile data traffic grew 81 percent in 2013 2013 mobile data traffic ~18x the size of the entire global Internet in 2000. 2000: One exabyte of traffic (1 EB = 1 Billion GB) 2013: 18 exabytes of traffic. Mobile video traffic > 50 % for the first time in 2012 53% of traffic by the end of 2013. How do we deal with the influx of mobile data traffic???

5. 4G LTE What is it? 4 th Generation Long Term Evolution De-facto worldwide 4G standard Why is the technology better? More efficient air interface; wider RF channels Flat, all-IP based network What it means to you: Higher capacity Multi-megabit speeds; 10x faster than 3G Lower latency

6. STATUS OF 4G LTE US Deployment History: 2010: First commercial availability 2011-2013: National build-outs 2014: Build-outs nearing completion; carriers deploying additional capacity US: Over +300M people/97% population covered 2 Flavors: Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) & Time Division Duplex (TDD) Worldwide: Deployed by 331 operators in 112 countries 11 Different LTE Bands used by Big 4 carriers

8. 4G LTE APPLICATIONS

9. WHAT CAN 4G LTE DO FOR YOU? It’s more than just a cool feature on a Smartphone or Tablet…4G LTE can: 1.Provide Redundancy 2.Serve as an Alternative Access Method 3.Deliver Video Surveillance & Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communications 4.Improve Customer Satisfaction 5.Improve Collaboration & Productivity

10. WIRELESS BACK-UP / BUSINESS CONTINUITY Use Cases: Locations that need an extra layer of redundancy Locations with unreliable wired connectivity Applications that need 24x7 uptime Benefits: Minimizes service interruptions and maximizes uptime Provides added piece of mind

11. SMALL OFFICE/TEMP OFFICE/REMOTE WORKER Use Cases: Offices with a handful of employees Locations in areas covered by wireless but not good wireline locations Temporary office spaces Benefits: Provide instant high-bandwidth connectivity LTE devices can easily be redeployed to other locations

12. DISASTER RECOVERY Use Cases: Support short-term field activity and remote operations almost anywhere Need for instant connectivity in a disaster recovery scenario Benefits: Enable instant connectivity and secure network access to keep workers connected Utilize a rugged, portable container designed to withstand harsh field environments and challenging conditions

13. VIDEO SURVEILLANCE & M2M Use Cases: Remote areas with no/limited wired connectivity Temporary locations/job sites where mobile surveillance is needed Other things that wireless enabled: parking meters, sensors, etc. Benefits: Higher bandwidth: 4G LTE more suitable for video streaming Flexibility: Wireless provides more options for remote installations

14. KIOSK / DIGITAL SIGNAGE Use Cases: Agencies looking to deploy kiosks and/or digital signage Need to deploy kiosks beyond the “4 walls” of the agency Benefits: Allows more flexibility in installation Higher bandwidth allows content and management to easily be changed over the air

15. CONNECTED VEHICLE Use Cases: Vehicles that need to be turned into a Wi-Fi hotspot Police, public safety, mobile command centers, public transportation Use Cases: Connect multiple Wi-Fi devices in a vehicle via a single LTE connection

16. GUEST WI-FI Use Cases: Enhance customers experience in waiting/common areas Don’t want “Guest” traffic over agency network Benefits: Improves customer satisfaction Keeps “Guest” traffic off your network Simple, easy to install

17. UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS Use Cases: Agencies who want to communicate with field personnel via collaboration tools Field workers who need to use real-time video to assess, inspect, or respond to a situation Benefits: 4G LTE provides a better mobile video conferencing experience Communicate in real time with other workers/remote personnel. Utilize collaboration apps on tablets, smartphones, etc.

18. MOBILE WORKFORCE PRODUCTIVITY Use Cases: Agencies looking to deploy tablets and business applications as a mobile workforce tool Agencies looking to go paperless Benefits: Higher bandwidth & low latency make smartphones and tablet a more effective mobility tool Eliminate paperwork by digitizing forms
