1. Fixed Wireless in Wyoming Matt Larsen, CEO Vistabeam

2. Fixed Wireless (FiWi) for Broadband First Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) in Wyoming started in mid 1990s There are at least 20+ active WISPs in Wyoming today, in all parts of the state WISPs provide competition and choice for residents in unserved and underserved areas WISPs are the ONLY broadband providers in some parts of Wyoming

3. WISP-only coverage in Wyoming

4. Wyoming WISP Coverage

5. Why are WISPs Valuable? Low cost economic model that doesn’t require government subsidies or grants to succeed Typical build cost of $300/customer vs $3000+/customer for fiber Rapid build out – no grants, permitting or spectrum licensing required Can sustainably service low-density rural areas Low hurdle of entry means entrepreneurial providers pushing competition and service

6. Broadband Anywhere with FiWi Solar Powered Access Point/Backhaul can be installed virtually anywhere. This solar powered site has been serving Hartville, Wyoming since 2008 Recent upgrade now delivers 12meg speeds to end users

7. Broadband Anywhere with FiWi Compact, portable tower solution for Remote backhaul or special events  Before Deployment Tower with solar power 100meg backhaul and AP. Used to provide service to 2014 Cattleman’s Ball 6 Hours of setup time 2 Hours teardown time Zero environmental impact No trenching, boring or concrete. After Deployment-->

8. Fixed Wireless Compared to Wireline Latency is lower than satellite. 20-40ms compared to 400-500ms FiWi is faster and more scalable than DSL. Speeds up to 20meg for end users on FiWi FiWi comparable to cable Internet speeds in more dense environments 10x cheaper to deploy than fiber PTP capacities up to 1gig speeds for dedicated business users or special applications

9. Fixed Wireless Compared to Mobile FiWi typically has lower latency FiWi is faster and more scalable than 4G, with hundreds of Mhz of unlicensed spectrum available vs slivers of licensed spectrum FiWi maintains higher signal to noise ratio than mobile, improving performance and reliability FiWi networks not as oversubscribed as 4G networks. Tens of customers per FiWi AP instead of thousands per mobile base station

10. Future for Fixed Wireless New products on the way capable of delivering over 100meg speeds to end users Hybrid Fiber-Wireless Networks - Wireless PTP to feed fiber deployments in remote areas and FTTT (Fiber To The Tower) to feed FiWi base stations Small cell architecture – getting base stations closer to the customer. There will be 5 to 10x more FiWi small cells than cellular towers in Eastern Wyoming by the end of 2015 More spectrum will be available for FiWi in the next 12 months (5150-5200, 3.5ghz, TVWS) enabling higher penetration and faster speeds

11. Help Us Help You Create broadband programs that are not limited to Eligible Telecommunication Carriers (NEBP example) Change requirements on state networks to allow for Gigabit and 100meg connections to remote areas, instead of 10Gigabit (can only be served by fiber) Establish common carrier meet-up points where last mile providers (including WISPs) can connect up with multiple fiber providers Stay Out Of The Way! Ease regulations that affect installers, tower permitting and ROW so that WISPs can spend more time building and less time on paperwork and compliance.
