Project: Latitude42
Security Token Offering - STO
Investor Deck | March 2020
Latitude42 is a new venture which is being born out of the company WAV Inc. Latitude42, with its own corporate entity, will utilize the existing WAV Inc. infrastructure and
business relationships, and bringing the Hardware-as-a-Service model to the wired and wireless internet network market.
Ø HaaS is very different from the traditional model that is typically employed by hardware manufacturers, Hardware-as-a-Service (Haas) offers rental of otherwise
capital-intensive, hardware to enable broader connectivity across dispersed or remote areas
Ø Focus on Broad Band and LTE products currently found on WAV’s line card
Ø Primary customer targets are service providers in wireless and networking. They deploy products from many manufacturers and manage them using their own
management platform
Ø Our model enables the client to enjoy predictable cash flow from operations with limited or no capital expenditure
For a fast and scalable market entry, Latitude42 plans to raise $40m in a Security Token Offering. Most of the proceeds will be used for cell tower assets.

§ Latitude42 will install microwave broadband, LTE backhauls and access points on towers
§ Primary client targets of the HaaS model will be internet service providers, who can enjoy a predicable cash
flow from operations with limited or no capital expenditures
§ The HaaS model can be provided across many networking technology solutions and will onboard more
capital-intensive networking hardware products in the future

Impact Investment
Rural Counties are Vulnerable During COVID-19 Crisis
Rural COVID-19 Research
§ About 10% of U.S. states are highly
vulnerable
§ Two thirds of the high vulnerability states
are in rural areas
§ Highly vulnerable counties “will have a
very hard time implementing the
mitigation strategies recommended,”
§ Reasons are large amounts of households
with no internet access or that rely solely
on cellular data, or no access to
broadband
§ Latitude42 is designed to support weak
infrastructure areas by offering low
upfront capital deployment of the latest
wireless technologies
§ Latitude42 aims to eliminate the low-or no
connectivity across the entire United
States by employing cost-efficient
strategies via HAAS, to allow any small
remote town 100% coverage

Impact Investment
Latitude42 will focus its service in rural areas which will yield the largest social and economic impact
Source: Latitude42 Management
§ Broadband is a cornerstone for many
industries, from commerce to healthcare,
and drives much of the US economy
§ Broadband has become an integral part of
education. What would you do without
internet access? How would that limit
your potential as a student?
§ The United States government has
focused on the need for broadband in
rural areas. Not only to keep rural areas
connected but as a strategy to keep them
competitive, in a global market. Hence,
the introduction of the Connect America
Fund (CAF)
§ However, the desire for speed continues
to outpace the capability of current WISPs
(Wireless Internet Service Provider)
§ This creates a real problem for those in
need to keep up with exponential
demand, ever changing technology and
the pace of change of government edicts
WHY?
§ A Wireless Internet Service Provider
(WISP) in a rural area needs to provide
internet to a small town and surrounding
farms. The deployment will require on
average three tower locations.
§ Each tower will be composed of a radio
backhaul, which will provide high
bandwidth connectivity for the tower.
Three point to multipoint systems that will
provide connectivity from the tower to a
subscriber module, which will be placed
on the location, requiring internet
§ Each tower location will take a month to
build and another month to deploy.
During this time, the WISP will need to
make heavy capital investments of tens of
thousands of dollars, for each location.
Once the towers have been deployed, the
sale of internet services starts
§ The above scenario outlines the issues of
deploying new locations: 1) Limiting
quality of technology, and 2) Financial
distress
WHAT?
§ Engaging with Latitude42, the WISP
will deploy these towers and have a
predictable and manageable capital
outlay.
§ The broadband equipment is every
evolving. In four to five years, the
technology now being deployed will be
ready to be replaced with equipment
capable of higher density and higher
speeds
§ By partnering with Latitude42, the
WISP has a path to upgrade its
equipment, and maintain its position
in the market
§ By utilizing Latitude42 the WISP in this
scenario was able to effectively deploy
towers to provide internet service to a
community and upgrade the
technology, as needed
HOW?
§ At schools, the highspeed internet
connectivity provided a broader array
of resources for the administrators,
teachers and students. Resulting in a
higher level of education which
benefited the students and community
§ The local government received
highspeed internet which enhanced
their ability to connect with other
communities and provided a wider
variety of services and resources more
effective and efficient
§ Further, the internet can prepare cites
for emergencies and natural disasters
§ Economic growth - companies can now
maintain connectivity to their markets
through highspeed internet, they could
move to these rural areas to take
advantage of lower land and resource
costs. This created more jobs for the
community and a much larger tax base

1) The Tokenisation of Assets and Potential Implications for Financial Markets, OECD 2020
Digital technologies such as Blockchain and Security Token Offerings give companies the ability to obtain
alternative funding by digitalizing their assets. For example; converting equity shares into a digital token,
raising funds by selling these digitalized shares to a broader fundraising base, enabling an alternative for
growth-financing. The digitization of assets offers also earlier liquidity (capital is not tied-up, but tradable on
secondary markets). A security token performs the same function as a conventional security or commodity,
except that it confirms ownership through a smart contract on a blockchain.
Blockchain
Ø Decentralization guarantees tamperproof and complete transparency along the supply chain
Ø Blockchain platforms can track commodities, record contractual agreements, and serve as a trusted
register for trade documentation
Ø Digitize information, automatically execute contracts, and used to standardize procedures. Participants
can manage and settle transactions reliably
