Dynamic Market of Telco

• Revenue of voice & data were split as

80% and 20% in 2000, now reversing

• Internet service in double digit growth

• Mobile service in rapid growth• Mobile service in rapid growth

• Every device want to enter the network

New Trends

• Convergence of telecommunication,

entertainment, computation = new service

• Bandwidth expansion

• The great rate war• The great rate war

• Emerging role of consumer electronics

• Packet switching replacing circuit switching

• Service more content centric

• Core IP networks for cellular systems

Chipset distribution

WiMax

– High market potential

– Accelerate local industry

Our Approach• Technology

– Technical advances allow us to do more, to do things

differently, or to do things less expensively

• User demand

– there is a demand coupled with a willingness to pay for the

new things that are being offered

• Economics

– The technology will be offered at a price that the users find

acceptable

– Developing countries issue

• Time Frame

– Moving to new Generation/Technology

– The services it offers become widely accepted

– 20 years evolution of 2G

WiMax : Key Technology• OFDM is a complex modulation method

• Chipset is“Technology Enabler” of WiMax

• Core Technology

• Low Cost solution for “Mass Production”

• Chipset solution:• Chipset solution:

– Reducing BOM (more than 40%)

– Including new Indonesia specific features

– Application differentiation

– Based for 4G Technology

Ecosystem

• Growing penetration is key for two-

way services

• We need a ecosystem
