Heterogeneous Network – About end user experience

HetNet is to Guarantee the End User Experience

Two different types of requirements! Bitrate targets and volumes/subs

Coverage is taken for granted But coverage is bitrate dependent

› First frequency independent architecture

› Most cost-effective, modular, high performance indoor radio system

› The only app coverage most buildings will ever need

Redefining Small Cells for Indoors

Technology breakthrough backed by 14 patents


Radio Dot (RD or Dot) › Ultra compact radio › Discreet and easy to install › Radio and power over LAN cable

Indoor Radio Unit (IRU) › Frequency independent › Remote software upgrades › Integrated powering

Digital Unit (DU) › Pooled baseband resources › Feature parity and 3GPP evolution › Leverages RBS 6000 baseband

Hitting the Sweet Spot

Large to Very Large Buildings

Medium – Large Buildings Subtending nearby RBS

Campus or Large Venues

DU centrally located in the building

IRU distributed to floor or building segment level

DU and IRU centrally co-located with star configuration to Radio Dots

Common configuration for single tenant enterprise buildings

DU baseband resources shared with nearby rooftop RBS or wall mount mRBS

Enables advanced LTE coordination between outdoor and indoor coverage

Multiple installations cover multiple buildings or a large venue (university, enterprise campus, stadium)

Centralized DU baseband can be shared among facilities, supporting expansions over time

• Reduction in cost structure

• Incumbent site acquisition vendors need paradigm shift

• Real Estate terms could delay deployment

• Operational consistency and tracking

• Maintenance

• Macro to small cell integration and hand-offs

Carrier Challenges to Small Cell Deployment

Site Acquisition • Reset expectations of Real Estate owners/managers • Create non-monetary trades • Focus on benefits of improved wireless services • Understand time/regulatory barriers to street

furniture/poles • Provide turnkey solutions • Solve coverage/capacity issues over larger

geographies • Use intermediary underlying agreements

Success Factors for Small Cell Deployment

Backhaul • Provide aggregation alternatives

• Reduces the impact of price compression • Provides overall reduction in cost

• Provide interconnect alternatives • Minimize new construction • Seek technical alternatives

• Tethered • Fiber, Coax. Copper

• Untethered (Microwave) • Licensed • Line of sight, near line of sight, non-line of sight • Unlicensed

Carrier Challenges to Small Cell Deployment

Randy Cobb, Partner

• My Experience Designing, Permitting, Building & Operating more than 20,000 Small Cells:

• Metricom-Will History Repeat Itself? • JPA’s-An early California Solution • Cingular AT&T merger-flushing out “Cowboy

Solutions” without proper permits • City of Davis CA ROW vs Public Resistance

Will Dodge, Attorney

Site Acquisition in the Real World

• Due Diligence Phase • Entry & Testing Agreement • Property Ownership Information – Title Review • Structure Ownership Information • Environmental Site Assessment (Phase I) • Age of Structure Affidavit – May soon be obsolete

Site Acquisition in the Real World

• Real Estate: Considerations • License versus lease agreement for small cell • Generally non-exclusive, can be exclusive

– See T-Mo vs. Crow (D. Ariz. 2009) • Need broad wording: “install, maintain, operate,

repair, replace, modify, change, upgrade, remove”

• Never perpetual but can be long term / assignable / non-revocable based on scope of investment.

Site Acquisition in the Real World • Real Estate: License Agreement – Planning • Clear delineation of licensed space on structure • Clear and simple payment terms • Access to property: conditions / limitations • Responsibility for structure maintenance • Replacement / relocation rights: pole position • Aesthetic conditions: capture now or pay later • Responsibility for r/e and personal prop taxes • Insurance allocation • The “Easy Out”: enforceability

Site Acquisition in the Real World • Permitting: The Key To Success • Dimensional “fast track” statutes

expedite process for smaller configurations: worth every penny spent on Govt Affairs.

• Examples: 30 VSA 248a in Vermont, SB101 in New Hampshire

• Counter-examples: Huntington Beach v. Cal PUC (2013), Crown Castle v. Greenburgh NY (2013)
