Anywave has Unique Benefits and Capabilities
• Run multiple standards simultaneously– Dual mode (GSM/CDMA) product is deployed and operational– Only infrastructure product to support multiple standards
simultaneously
• Cost-effective solutions for remote or rural site deployments– Reduce OPEX for sites requiring satellite backhaul
• Standards upgrades are software downloads– Download new software, rather than forklift upgrade to new
standards
“…the first step in what has proven to be a radio technology revolution.”
-Michael Powell, FCC Chairman commenting on first ever FCC certification for a software-
defined radio granted to Vanu, Inc.

Vanu’s Satellite Backhaul Solution
Traditional Approach
Vanu Approach
Opportunity• Expand cellular service in rural areas
Challenges• Cost of Bandwidth – connectivity
• Satellite access : $US 2 - 5 K / month• Voice delay introduced by satellite
Traffic pattern• Up to 80% of the calls, originate and
terminate in same town
Case Study: GCI in Alaska• This solution was chosen to connect over 200 remote areas across the state of Alaska
• Up to 70% of monthly satellite cost eliminated• Improved voice quality without satellite latency
