Mobile market penetration in Poland
source: Office of Electronic Communications in Poland (UKE) 2010
Beginning of 2012 – 3,0 mln users of mobile internet (8% penetration) and 9 position in UE. • Reasons to choose the mobile internet:
- data coverage ,
- no limitation, - price of subscription;
Introduction – The Group
5
November 2009, Aero 2 launches the World’s First HSPA+900MHz Commercial Network (21Mbit/s), based on SDR and ALL-IP architectures
September 2010, Mobyland & CenterNet launch te First LTE1800-FDD commercial network (by GSA)
May 2011, Aero2 launches LTE2500-TDD network – beginning of Dual LTE network
December 2011, Aero2 HSPA+900MHz – 75,9% population of Poland in our coverage

Key characteristics :
• Network sharing (to reduce CAPEX & OPEX)
• active RAN sharing – MOCN
• passive site sharing
• Multiple PLMN
• All IP
Focus on LTE & HSPA + in suburb and rural areas.
Benefits: flexible architecture and fast time to market
Introduction – Our Network #2
8
•Our network:
• 900MHz-FDD HSPA+ (2*5MHz)
• 1800MHz-FDD LTE (2*20MHz)
• 2500MHz-TDD LTE (50MHz)

Introduction – Our Frequency Usage
Business Concept
9
Why only data?
• In 2009 mobile voice market in Poland saturated
• „Collapse” of voice MVNO business model
• Collapse of voice mixed GSM1800 + MVNO business model
• Roll-out speed & networks quality (10 Year’s of acceptable coverage)
• „oversleep” in mobile data services (credibility of data services, is data source of future revenue ?)
• delay of UMTS reframing in 900 band
• Poland characteristics (66% - rural areas)
11
Business Concept
Higher data rates
Higher cell capacity
Lower latency
Better quality of service
at the cell edge Higher spectrum effciency
Lower CAPEX & OPEX
12
FDD TDD Fixed allocation (waste of frequency) Flexible allocation
Mature ecosystem Beginnings of ecosystem
Europe / USA China
Full standarization 3GPP Full standarization 3GPP
For coverage and capacity Mainly for capacity
Business Concept – Why LTE-FDD & LTE-TDD?
Business Concept - Why Wholesale Only?
13
To minimise operational costs:
• No brand investment
•No SAC / Customer Care / Retention - restricted cost control
•No retail – cost of shops, design,
Wholesale operators – our way how cut down expenses
Business Concept
14
• Product: – Mix of Megabytes „produced” of HSPA+ 900 MB’s and LTE 1800
MB’s – the minimal purchase 1 mln GB per 1 year ( preference 10 mln
GB) – price erosion with next orders – free data during nights (24:00 – 06:00)
• Distribution - today 2 big partners • Cyfrowy Polsat S.A. (MVNO and satellite TV DTH), no 2 in Europe
• Polkomtel (GSM operator)
• Fast network roll-out
• to complete the fast rollout, introduce Voice over LTE, prepare rollout LTE-TDD.
Future!
15
Managing current technical challenges:
• fast roll-out followed by deep back-bone investments
• managing multiple PLMN problems: • CS-fallback
• hand-over’s
• quality
• lack of HO implementation
• lack of full chipset support
• limited 3GPP definition (CS-fallback)
• back-bone architecture and standard
• lack of voice service and international roaming
• services development – compatibility of services – Voice services !!!
• worldwide functionality & roaming
