vividwireless

vividwireless Challenges with Fast, Affordable 4G Broadbandvividwireless launched its wireless broadband services during a period of rapidly growing demand, stimulated initially by the iPhone and the iPad, and subsequently by the growing number of Android smartphones and pads. The scramble to sign up these new broadband accounts has seen a rapid fall in data plan charges across the country.

Operators are now seeking to provide more services to improve profitability and share in what has become a competitive market, with Telstra, Optus and VHA all claiming 98% or better population coverage with 3G networks. How can vividwireless win market share from the ISP’s and 3G/3.5G incumbents? Low entry price plans and product bundling are insufficient to sustain long term growth. vividwireless must distinguish itself through a strategic service and product positioning in the market, monetizing multimedia rich content and VoIP services. It is, in fact, well placed to do so, being a wholly owned subsidiary of Seven Group Holdings Limited.

vividwireless, AustraliaEmbracing Multiplay

Page 14: Green packet-wimax-modem-case studies-2012

A key differentiator in the market proposition, performance, is highly dependent on the target market sector and infrastructure investment. vividwireless’ WiMAX network has currently the most advanced technology, offering superior performance to all the other 3G networks. The performance of vividwireless’ network launched in Perth in March, 2010 has been excellent, with smaller networks launched in metropolitan Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra & Brisbane.

vividwireless’ business objectives are rooted in delivering exceptional customer experience & service quality, with better and faster wireless services at value based price points. WiMAX technology has an advantage in its time to market, without the complexity of pits and pipes, fixed DSL services or cell site build-out (in 3G with spectrum constraints). Being able to take your service with you to another location within the coverage area (nomadic services), is a great advantage against DSL and HFC services in homes and offices. vividwireless has also been creative in offering customers the ability to run multiple devices on the one account, instead of requiring separate broadband accounts for home, office, kids and mobile needs.

vividwireless pty ltd was incorporated in 2009 and has offices in Sydney and Perth, Australia. vividwireless pty ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Seven Group Holdings Limited. vividwireless provides wireless broadband services on a WiMAX network supporting voice and data in its product portfolio. The network launched in Perth in March, 2010 and has since expanded to select parts of metropolitan Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra & Brisbane.

vividwireless is changing the way consumers utilize the power of wireless broadband services. Fast, portable wireless Internet services with affordable and premium devices: USB modems, Wi-Fi hotspots and desktop modems with built-in Wi-Fi, LAN and VoIP capability set new benchmarks for customer service and value for money.

Page 15: Green packet-wimax-modem-case studies-2012

Stimulating Demand for Broadband Uptake Another differentiator that has proven successful is vividwireless’ device strategy. Distinctively designed modems with exceptional performance have significantly influenced uptake of its WiMAX service.

vividwireless turned to Greenpacket for the premium DX series WiMAX indoor modem solution. With Greenpacket’s versatile modem, vividwireless was able to address different segment users such as residential and more recently, small businesses, offering them high performance Internet without waiting for installation, Wi-Fi for connectivity and VoIP telephony. These are important features, because generally, indoor users have longer sessions, more users and more intense bandwidth requirements. The portability means users can enjoy WiMAX without the constraints of a fixed location.

vividwireless has also recently moved to take strategic advantage of the VoIP ports in the DX. Current offerings from competitors do not bundle the telephone cheaply. Fixed line telephones carry a monthly service fee of $20-$30, plus the added cost of local calls, STD calls and ISD calls. It is not uncommon for monthly bills to be $100 or more. Being able to offer a phone service at a fraction of the price of a fixed telephone service within a single subscription, supporting multiple users has boosted subscription rates. VoIP call quality is excellent and affordable, without fixed line charges and costly SDD and IDD rates. The bundling of VoIP services with high speed Internet into a unified bill allows increased monthly billing, increased margins on the data service, and builds on customer satisfaction.

vividwireless’ broadband Internet service is not limited to voice and data. Potential new revenue streams can be derived from incorporating high quality content such as IPTV and video. WiMAX technology is well suited to data applications with high bandwidth utilization with amazing DL speeds. This fulfils a key strategy for vividwireless, increasing the attractiveness of its offering with quality content, while at the same time layering premium services on the data channel for increased billing and margin per customer.

Australian Broadband DevelopmentHistorically, Australia was lagging behind APAC counterparts, with Internet services at high rates for fixed ADSL, and wireless services that were too slow and not data-centric. Cellular service providers were typically slow to respond to wireless broadband demands by providing wireless Internet services as a supplement over their 3G networks. By 2009¹, a vast majority of the business sector was on broadband with an annual growth rate of between 10% and 15%. Likewise, the residential broadband market grew by 50% more than business market.

In 2009, there were close to 200 Internet service providers in Australia providing retail broadband. However, the market was dominated by a small number of companies; Telstra supplies nearly 45% of services, followed by the second-largest player, Optus, with around 11% of the market. The remaining market share is distributed over 180 small and medium sized providers.

The enabling factor for subscriber growth will come from untapped demand both in cities and sub-rural areas, where intense competitive pressure will start to depress prices further. Forecasts indicate there will be double digit subscriber growth² for the next five years.

Key Drivers for Broadband Adoption• Mob i l e I n te r ne t w i th 4G speeds• Content r ich exper ience; IPTV, VoD, Vo IP, mus ic , gaming• Explosion of smart devices • Application stores

Towering the DX Traditional devices merely bridged the service into the premises. Today, devices are becoming more advanced and structured, aiding network coverage and capacity. One of the major challenges faced by WiMAX operators lies in providing sound indoor coverage, due to the higher frequencies of transmission. This challenge is far less for operators using frequencies often a third or a quarter of the WiMAX frequency. Device improvements including smart antenna, chipset and power amplifier design, beamforming and other enhancing technologies play major roles in contributing to the network quality and performance.

The DX WiMAX modem was accorded the prestigious iF Product Design Award 2010 and 4GWE Product of the Year 2010 award for its excellent aesthetics and performance. Three key areas that are distinctive include:

• Optimizing indoor coverage (high gain antennas, Switched Tx Diversity, TDD-SOFDMA, MIMO A & B, ARQ & HARQ and high transmission power)• Boosting coverage with Wi-Fi access• Ease of use (reduced customer service support).

The DX Tower is part of Greenpacket’s portfolio of next generation Wave 2 compliant WiMAX Modems for residential and small-medium business users. It is a WiMAX Integrated Access Device (IAD) that features a blend of superior aesthetics, data and voice access ports, high gain antennas with omni-directional performance to offer best-in-class performance.

Page 17: Green packet-wimax-modem-case studies-2012

The DX is designed robustly to overcome penetration losses due to building penetration. Given high gain dual antennas and advance antenna technology supported for switched Tx diversity, the UL performance and its link budget can be improved by allowing the modem to select the stronger transmit radio signals from the best antenna to improve overall transmission signal strength. Field results show that the DX230 increases the usable coverage area because of its higher gain antennas. The DX is optimized for indoor performance without having to overlay microcells that may not be economically attractive and are time consuming.

The use of omni-antennas is an advantage in acquiring the most optimal radiation patterns in a uniform distribution relative to the base station orientation. This gives greater flexibility in terms of the modem placement while indoors, when the location of the base station is difficult to determine.

Wi-Fi is used as a complementary booster in yielding improved indoor coverage. Wi-Fi and WiMAX transmitters are built within the modem to allow simultaneous connection to the base stations. The compatibility of Wi-Fi and WiMAX facilitates multiple devices to be connected within the perimeters of the house or small office.

Fostering PartnershipGreenpacket believes strongly in supporting vividwireless’ market strategy, and is committed to providing strategic long term solutions. The success of the partnership is echoed in the positive consumer take up of these devices.

The GP edge is evidenced in its global presence in Telco deployments. Continuous investment in R&D and intensive training of highly qualified technical experts assures WiMAX operators have world class support.

How did vividwireless benefit?• The DX230 was instrumental in fast tracking vividwireless’ subscriber acquisition• Increased useable coverage a rea , ex tend ing se rv i ce experience to greater urban and sub-urban areas. • Optimized customer care, with minimized reduction in customer calls for technical support as well as over the air device interrogation and update

SWIFT

Nigeria Broadband at a GlanceSWIFT launched its WIMAX 4G service in January 2011 with a rigorous coverage ambition to reach up to 10 million¹ people. It prides itself on leadership in innovation and utilizes the best technologies to empower the savvy Nigerian at work and home. To achieve and sustain this, SWIFT has to differentiate itself in the very competitive Nigerian telecoms market. Nigeria has a population of more than 150 million people, with over 150 ISPs in operation offering broadband Internet service speeds ranging from 32kbps to 8Mbps for residential, enterprise and corporate markets.

However, the broadband Internet market is still underdeveloped and is weighed down by various factors including low fixed-line and PC penetration, poor wireless network infrastructure, service quality, and high connection cost. Typically, ISPs provide broadband Internet experience either via legacy cabled copper or VSATs (direct satellite Internet access solution) which are clunky and inflexible in terms of accessibility and installation charges. In short, broadband Internet was a costly affair for the general public. 1 Source : Technology Times - http://www.technologytimesng.com/2010/12/13/swift-begins-commercial-service-on-4g-network/

SWIFT NETWORKS, AfricaFast Tracking 4G in Nigeria

Page 19: Green packet-wimax-modem-case studies-2012

The SWIFT AdvantageSWIFT’s 4G launch heralded a new service experience for most users since high speed Internet, VoIP, multimedia content were previously inaccessible in the Nigerian market due to poor wired network infrastructure and unreliable wireless services. SWIFT Networks remains conscious of delivering above market customer experience and careful in its strategy to deliver consistent access speed of 2Mbp per subscriber.

Conventional USB modems perform marginally better than indoor modems. However, in dense city dwellings like Lagos, the propensity for multipath propagation impairs performance, negating its effectiveness to offer a stable and reliable service. SWIFT understood the importance of selecting the right product strategy in entering the competitive market.

In order to win customers and cap market share, the UH350 proved to be a key differentiator, outperforming conventional USB modems in the market. The advanced antenna designs render NLOS limitations to the most minimal, thus performing on par as one would expect from a fixed wireless modem. With equivalent entry price points, SWIFT managed to provide greater access speeds and capacity to keep their customers satisfied. Additionally, there are no more fixed monthly charges passed on to customers.

Customer Objectives• Provide improved broadband speeds• Provide converged broadband service for voice, data and Internet• O v e rc o m e p o o r i n d o o r performance

Nigeria is Africa’s largest communications market, ideal for growth; large young population and modest penetration levels. Previously, it suffered from the lack of international connectivity. The arrival of MainOne in 2009 and Glo1 submarine cable in 2010 can now connect Nigeria to West Africa and Europe, resulting in more international bandwidth to operators, transforming broadband adoption, ie. cheaper and faster Internet access to the end-users.
