The Challenge for Industry

5/12/2015 2

• 350 million mobile subscriptions of which more than 70% are smartphones

• Total mobile data traffic of 4.8 Exabyte annually, growing at 50% CAGR

Exponential growth in data

traffic

• 80% of wireless data traffic is generated within buildings

• 90% of enterprises support corporate applications on personal mobile devices

Usage is shifting indoors and to the

enterprise

• Only 2% of buildings are served with in-building licensed spectrum systems

• Wi-Fi and offload are the predominant in-building solutions

Carrier networks were designed for

mobile voice

Enterprise Mobility Market

Active and Passive DAS

Carrier-specific Small Cell

• Complex and customized

• Expensive as neutral host solution

• Traffic backhaul to carrier core network is expensive

• Device management can be a challenge

5/12/2015 3

Licensed in-building wireless (2% of buildings)

Enterprise Mobility Market

Enterprise Wi-Fi

• Unstable connections, high packet loss, low overall QoE

• Congestion degrades performance

• Data only orientation vs. integrated voice and data needs

• No seamless interoperability with 4G networks

5/12/2015 4

Unlicensed in-building wireless

The Solution

• 150 MHz of managed spectrum

• Widescale adoption in devices

• Very low cost network equipment

• Enterprise deployed and managed

• High throughput, high QoE connections

• Integrated voice, data, and mobile cloud applications

• Scalable cloud architecture
