Market Trends
• The future is in replacing or “capping” wire line deployments with wireless technology: – 3G outperforms DSL for Total Cost of Ownership – 4G will replace fracNonal T1 and T1 services – 4G is enterprise-‐grade and reflects the speed, quality, and reliability to replace wire line
• Wireless is outpacing wire line in terms of technological advances

Market Trends: Business Class Wireless Criteria
• Demand for higher data rates • ExpectaNons of lower 3G costs • ConNnued cost reducNon with 4G • Back Office and Business Class Protocol Support
• Growing experience with the take-‐up of 3G is showing an even greater demand for 4G

EvaluaNng Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
• For Wire line InstallaNons and 3G and 4G Wireless InstallaNons, evaluate all TCO Criteria: – Fault Management
– ConfiguraNon – AccounNng – Provisioning – Security

Wireline InstallaNons
• Failures occur in the last 100 feet:

3G and 4G InstallaNons
• CapEx is less expensive for wireless. • The use of wireless end points is more secure and leaves less exposure for interference from human error or other factors.
• If a failure occurs, the isolaNon of the trouble is simpler and is o^en solved by a simple swap of equipment.
• 3G and 4G modems can connect to mulNple base staNons, providing route redundancy.

Closing the Reliability Gap
• 3G/4G High Availability Network Adapter addresses signal quality, speed and Reliability: – High Gain Beam forming Antenna with Router and 3G or 4G Card
– Wireless Extends Serviceable LocaNons

Cost-‐effecNve Deployments for Ongoing OperaNons
• OMA DM for Back-‐Office Support: – DM Client integrated into Router via porNng layer hook-‐up.
– Once a connecNon is established, the industry standard OMA DM protocol is leveraged to exchange instrucNons with the Router.
– Plug-‐In enables the customer to manage the device from DM Portal.
– The customer can set and manage preferred network providers according to their profile.

Conclusion and RecommendaNons
• 3G and 4G provide beier service at a lower Total Cost of Ownership for businesses and managed service providers
• 3G and 4G bonding will create even higher speeds at more flexible price points than wire line
• Final Analysis: Return on Investment
