Wi-LAN Broadband Wireless AccessSystems—Freedom For Your ISP Business

Fast, Easy, Customer Installation. No problem.Installation of broadband wireless could never have beendescribed as fast and easy—until now. Fast marketdeployment requires easy customer access. Wi-LAN’sbroadband wireless access systems can be installed in lessthan two hours by an installer or by the customer, much likea consumer satellite dish. In most cases the outdoor unit canbe placed at accessible eave height. The best part? In a fullydeployed network, access will be available in a plug and play-desktop unit…Ethernet easy.

Think Big.Wi-LAN recognizes the needs of a growing ISP, where revenueand profit must occur quickly, not further down the road.Wi-LAN’s broadband wireless systems can be expanded withminimal additional investment. The Wi-LAN solution involvesan expandable cellular network architecture, with theflexibility to start with cells large or small depending on needand deployment strategies.

Then Bigger.Expansion is easy. With Wi-LAN’s broadband wireless accesssystems, you can boost subscriber capacity three ways:

• concentric zone cell structuring;• by adding more sectors;• by adding more cells.

Wi-LAN gives you the flexibility to grow. And with up to 9000users per cell, you can grow immediately, at NO extra cost.Get managed network growth with Wi-LAN.

Now You See It. Now You Don’t.First generation wireless access systems worked well,providing there was clear line of sight to the base station. Thismade installation a guessing game. Wi-LAN broadband ispowered by the company’s patented W-OFDM technology.Wi-LAN’s exclusive technology enhances multipath capabil-ities allowing much easier reception. With Wi-LAN’s solution,the installer doesn’t always need to “see” the base station.It’s worry-free installation, many at eave height. You don’t seethe base station antenna? Relax because you don’t have towith Wi-LAN

Give Your Customers A Broadband Experience.Some systems start out offering customers a real broadbandexperience, and then everything changes. Many systemsdon’t have the capacity needed to handle the added burden

of more users. Wi-LAN’s broadband wireless systems are different. Every network cell can re-use all frequencies whileoffering cell capacities up to 192 Mbps. More users? Noproblem. Add more cells when you need them. It’s WorldWide Web without the wait.

Low Cost Customer Access.Inexpensive customer access is a primary need for any serviceprovider, established or just starting out. The Wi-LAN systemhas lowered the cost of the installation and the cost of theCPE. With Wi-LAN, CPE hardware costs are comparable withthose associated with conventional wire line broadbandaccess methods. Get the low-cost customer access you need,right now.

Built For Your Needs Today And Tomorrow.Let’s face it—building a broadband wireless access network isa huge investment. Much of that investment relates todeployment. Obsolete CPE is a big headache and a big cost.That’s why the Wi-LAN broadband wireless access systems aredesigned to provide increased functionality and services,while keeping all CPE operational.

Your CPE today will be your CPE tomorrow with softwareupgrades: improved network management; revenuegenerating QoS services (data, voice, video); and customerservice differentiation.

As the system evolves into tomorrow, Wi-LAN’s solutionwill offer:

• Competitive to any Broadband Access CPE cost;• Retail sales of Plug and Play CPE;• Increased coverage for more customers;• Larger capacity for more revenue;• Easy scalability;• Even higher spectral efficiency;• Carrier class service availability.

New capabilities will keep your system in pace with futureneeds and adding revenue, while keeping initial costs down.A modular approach to features allows you to add capabilitieswhen you need them, and not before. And when nextgeneration hardware comes along, new and existingcustomer equipment can co-exist , in every cell and everysector of your network. Have confidence today and tomorrowwith Wi-LAN.

Customers are demanding more bandwidth. And your ISPbusiness needs a high-speed solution that’s more practicaland cost-effective than traditional options, such as DSL and

cable. Go broadband wireless access with Wi-LAN.

Broadband wireless access means freedom. Compared towire line alternatives, broadband wireless access isfaster and easier to deploy, resulting in quicker revenuerealization. Your business can set up a base station,install customer premises equipment (CPE) andbegin offering service to new customers in a matterof days.

Broadband wireless access also involves lowerentry and deployment costs. It is less expensive toinstall base stations and subscriber equipmentversus upgrading wire line infrastructure tosupport high-speed data rates.

Wireless access enables you to be profitable inregions of lower subscriber density because yournetwork build-out can be scaled to demand.Install base stations and the correspondingamount of subscriber equipment, based onpaying customers. As your subscriber base grows,you can easily add more subscriber equipment andbase stations.

With broadband wireless, your business has lessequipment in the field than if you chose a wire line

infrastructure. Less equipment translates intolower network maintenance, management and

operating costs.

Broadband wireless access is simply the lowest cost, mosteasily implemented solution for broadband access. And

Wi-LAN’s new portfolio of broadband wireless accesssystems are your best way to realize the full benefits ofthis access alternative. Give your ISP business the freedomit deserves.
