3 Agenda The municipalities, communities and public safety sector overview Segments solution Success stories Wrap-up and questions

4 Why invest in (new) infrastructure? The Allegany County (MD, US) story Faced the closing of the its smokestack industries Wanted to lure high-tech and biotech business that were fleeing the metro areas – without data infrastructure in place -> attempt failed… Negotiations with Verizon to provide broadband infrastructure at reasonable price led nowhere… “we’re so small, we’re completely out of radar scope. The only thing for us to do was build our own network…. ”

5 Why invest in (new) infrastructure? Economic development • Overcome digital divide in rural areas Increase business (Existing and new) More employees “Information for all” • Investing in the area and its people Regional development • Enhancing communication infrastructure Increase overall efficiency and life quality

6 The “information society” vision “ensure that the benefits of new technologies, especially information and communication technologies… are available to all” United Nations Millennium Declaration “…A government founding is available for establishing of regional network and for the purpose of facilitating access to broadband network in sparsely-populated areas…” An information for all – Sweden government bill March 2000

The buying decision process

39 The Buying Decision Ultimate buying decision made by IT professional • Seemingly technical decision but… § Usually IT managers don’t know RF and wireless! § Mostly IT managers have networking background Uses: • • • Other IT Co-workers & Friends Internet Direct Marketing Company Recommendations Magazines Trade Shows Usually Attended By IT Management

40 Road map to success Start where there is Money Start where there is a Need (Budget, Funds, Grants, Person ) • Location • Population Density • Geographical (physical) structure • Economic development • Public Safety • Specific need Discover the need and Migrate to similar areas • schools -> libraries • Water -> Gas • police -> fire->EMS Leverage on existing infrastructure Build the relationship and Develop other needs • City management

Wrap-up

42 The ‘targeted’ segments Municipalities in remote urban and rural areas • Municipal authorities buildings • Habitant’s connectivity § Through ISP § Through the city • Businesses connectivity § Through ISP § Through the city • Rural connectivity • Temporary connectivity • Public transportation Public Safety • Agency (Police, Fire, EMS) connectivity • Buildings • Mobile (cars) • Mobile (hand held) • Crises management

43 The Wireless Solution End-to-end Internet/Intranet connectivity solutions (including Voice, Video, and Data) to government agencies, law enforcement, educational institutions, health facilities and many others. Robust, efficient, firm, secured , inexpensive, minimized ongoing costs Citizens and the business community will reap the rewards of this infrastructure. The advanced, reliable and cost-effective solution can create new perspectives for the community

44 Main Selling points No massive infrastructure needed - Low initial investment Low cost equipment - Limited up-front capital expenditure Fast Deployment • • Minimal installation time – plug & play Small base station size Proportional deployment scale Easy to configure and maintain Combined solution for voice and data network connection Operates in all licensed and unlicensed bands Scalable, modular design Efficient application, tailored to specific needs

45 Open discussion Verticals buying decision is not based only on the technical aspects The wireless part is only a single portion of the overall connectivity concept (20 -30%) and yet it’s the “enabler” The ‘approach’ should include • Solution orientation • Hand holding for End-to-End solution (Long process) • Focused targets
