The 4G Revolution

• 4G technology developing at fast rates and offers:

• Extremely high capacity and range• Fastest broadband connectivity• Multiple and specialized features

• Technologies available:• WiMAX (TDD)

• Mature and field-tested, providing mobile IP services and fixed Ethernet services • LTE (FDD and TDD)

• Fast developing, ideal for mobile IP services • LTE ecosystem (core network, end devices) is not yet mature and cost effective

• 4G applications becoming more diversified and specialized• Consumer broadband (including VoIP, Video-over-IP)• Governmental and Municipal applications • Public Safety and Defense• Industrial applications• Utilities / Smart-grids• Transportation

4G Infrastructure for Government Applications• Mobile data, video and VoIP

• Video surveillance (traffic, intersections, problem areas)

• Traffic management

• Meter reading

• Agency coordination

• Fingerprinting identification

• Facial recognition

• Inter-agency database access

• Remote records management

• Computerized license plate recognition

• Ad hoc emergency or disaster recovery

• Cameras/video in vehicles and on emergency personnel

4G Case Study - STS Romania

• Special Telecommunications Service (STS) is

central specialized government structure in

Romania

• Organizes and coordinates activities in

telecommunications field for public authorities

in Romania

• In effect the largest operator of networks in

nation

• Has military structure and is part of the national

defense system

• Activity organized and coordinated by the

Supreme Council of National Defense under

control of Romanian Parliament

5

Project Background

• Extension of the EU immigration system umbrella, while removing

individual country borders

• STS Romania tasked with network build-out

• Network is largest mobile IEEE 802.16e-2005 WiMAX network in

Europe

• Connect thousands of government, public safety, border patrol and

administrative offices nationwide

• Compliancy to rigorous EU standards

• Multiple (up to 12) simultaneous VLAN integration/interface with 6 different service flows

• Fixed, nomadic and mobile access services (mixed on same sectors)

• Interoperable with various subscriber terminals

• Long range (above 16e standard profile limitation of 8km) cell radius – up to 20 km (12.5 miles) cell radius

• Comprehensive long-term warranty agreement

7

STS Network Applications

• Concurrently running fixed and mobile services on same sectors

• Robust, traditionally fixed service - Voice, video, high-capacity data, VLANs

• Fully mobile units - Police, border patrol, public safety

• Multi-server, multi-service network allowing:• Seamless data transfer between government agencies

• Integration to EU communications

• Mobile workforces with always-on, on-the-move connectivity

• Two roadways represent the major transportation arteries for New Jersey, Boston area and Washington D.C

• Including the Newark Bay Extension and Pennsylvania Turnpike Extension

• Pass through 15 out the 26 counties in NY, NJ, MA, PA and DC• Touch dozens of boroughs, towns and cities

• Authority operates and is responsible for the most vital links in support of the businesses and residents of both NY and NJ

• NJTA identified need to support communications along entire length of both Turnpike and Garden State Parkway

• WiMAX solution serves requirements in an extremely cost effective manner

• Solution is in 4.9 GHz band

New Jersey Turnpike: HD CCTV

• Airspan awarded contract for New Jersey Turnpike Authority

• 120 fully redundant sectors over complete length of Turnpike and Garden State Parkway

• 40 MHz of 4.9 GHz providing coverage along 600 km of roadway

• Combined 900,000,000 drivers each year, represents busiest segment of the I-95 corridor

• Airspan WiMAX provides last mile connectivity:

• Variable Message Signs

• Traffic Monitoring

• HD CCTV

• Roadway Weather Information Systems

• Highway Advisory Radio

• Solution already installed on >1000 buses

• SEPTA (PA) and BCT first projects, recently added New York MTA (Bus and Metro)

• WiMAX, Wi-Fi and digital recording technologies

• Airspan Mobile Radio Terminal (MRT) installed in each bus

• Airspan micro and macro Base Stations

• Technology: • Fixed/Nomadic WiMAX (16d)

• 5.4 GHz and 4.9 GHz licensed band

11

4G for Oil and Gas Communications

• Customer: Chevron

• Network communication for Gulf of Mexico area and

various on-shore locations

• Connectivity needed for oil rig platform-to-platform as well

as platform-to-shore

• Long distances between platforms (up to 35 km)

• Rugged enough to withstand salt water environment as well

as harsh weather conditions

• Improves on satellite costs and operational limitations (high

latency)

• Offers high-speed broadband for data and voice

• 700 MHz and 3.65 GHz combination
