5G: Connecting the UnconnectedChallenges of Delivering Rural Coverage

“… in many cellular network deployments, the cost of the civil and supporting infrastructure (land, tower, security, power and backhaul) is often much greater than the cost of the cellular access point itself."

Network Deployment – What do we bring?

7

• Simple, quick Installation • Under 3 hours to install and commission one CWS small cell• Under 3 days to light up a rural community with cluster of 4 CWS’• Planning “Lite”

• Eliminates the backhaul Challenge• Use what is available when it becomes available & aggregate all

sources• In Band 4G Backhaul• Mesh Backhaul • Fiber / DSL / ADSL

• Low cost of Operation• Low power consumption • Self-configuration, self-optimization with SON

On Land: Fixed Small CellsBackhaul Flexibility: use ANY available fixed or wireless backhaul

HNG

Backhauls of varying capacity and latency available at

different times

Private/Public Internet

Mesh Backhaul

• Flexible backhaul = use what is there:

• Future-proofed for any backhaul that might become available

• Incoming backhaul capacity is shared within the cluster

What does this enable?• Easy installation• Easy

maintenance• Low OPEX

• Network Slicing• SON• MEC

Parallel Wireless, Inc. Proprietary 10

CWS InstallationInstant and easy deployments

• Lightweight and small form factor makes for easy installation

• Small size allows CWS to be installed anywhere: towers, street furniture, sides of buildings, etc.• Reduces site acquisition costs

• Self-configuration capabilities further simplifies installation: no need for RF planning, just plug in and power on• No specialized equipment required• Little to no RF/engineering training

required

Coverage from aboveInnovative Design

Smallest high power small cell w/

flexible backhaul

Wireless backhaul module

• Smallest and most efficient high powered base station in the world

• Provides 3G and 4G simultaneously

• Wireless mesh backhaul & in band backhaul capabilities

• Multiple units can mesh together to form “mesh clusters”, thus further extending the coverage

• Provides cost-effective permanent coverage in hard to reach locations

• Can also be used to increase capacity at events and concerts

Parallel Wireless, Inc. Proprietary 14

On WaterEnabling new use cases for small cells

• Self-configuring & self-optimization

• Ad hoc operation mode• Many use cases:

• M2M for automated fleet management

• Wi-Fi hotspot enablement for ferries

• Roaming for passengers on cruise ships

• Flexible backhaul adds resilience for Navy and public safety vessels
