Today’s In-equitable Connectivity

2.4 billion people are not served by wireless broadband because they are too poor and/or live in low-density areas

It is estimated that 1.5 billion still live in areas that are not served by the electric grid

This confluence of factors is holding back economic development and is preventing two-in-five people from better education, better health care and improved well-being.

In India, increasing mobile penetration by 10 per cent has the potential to create end-user value of US$ 10 billion, adding around 0.6 percent to the GDP.

Rural Connectivity Challenges

Company Confidential

3

A revolutionary antenna system that extends coverage ten times beyond the antennas used today, thereby significantly reducing operating costs

This turns deploying wireless broadband access into a very attractive business proposition for any network operator anywhere in the world

Current antenna technology, which is ill-suited for rural areas, prevents access to an untapped major source of revenue

Current antenna technology has a reach of a maximum of approximately 3 kms

Combined with the effect of low population density and low ARPU in rural communities, the technology gap continues to increase between urban and rural areas
