Distributed/Remote Antennas - Need

• Increased MOUs (Bundle of Minutes rate plans)
  and upgrade to GPRS/GSM require the installation
  of more antenna locations
• Wireless carriers have urgent market need to
  eliminate dead spots Can You Hear Me Now?
• Capex crisis have reduced available capital for
  construction of much needed BTSs
• Coverage Crisis Number 1 cause for churn
• Availability of roof/site/space rights for
  placement of antennas limited and recurring
  monthly operational expenses are high
• Wireless Carriers need to triple the number of
  cells sites within the next four years

4
Benefits

• Capex 80 less than cost of a new cell site
• Opex- Small footprint of remote antenna
  dramatically reduces roof-right, tower, and
  infrastructure costs. Total going forward
  savings dwarf Capex savings. Also, backhaul
  costs eliminated using remotes
• Fiber available in only 25 of desired remote
  antenna locations
• Only SONAbeam (free space optics) can fill the
  gap with its ability to transport the required
  1.482 GB capacity. Microwave cannot do it. Only
  fiber and FSO can

Answer SONAbeam 1250 ADC Digivance

• ADC Digivance converts 25 mhz of RF spectrum into
  a digital pipe of 1.482 Gb of bandwidth
• SONAbeam 1250 is the free space optical
  transmission system that transports the 1.482 Gb
  bandwidth pipe
• Combined, the system extends the full capability
  of an existing (and very expensive) BTS to a
  remote distributed antenna location within 1 mile
  of the hub BTS location
• Interoperability testing complete and 100
  successful using SONAbeam 1250 and ADC Digivance.
  Tests conducted by ADC.
• Benefits
• Speed of deployment
• Reduce costs of new antenna deployments by 90
  and more compared to costs of dark fiber - build
  or lease
• Reduce operational expenses going forward

What our customers are saying

• I am very pleased with the installation I am
  more than willing to recommend both the fSONA
  product and CSG Wireless to any of your potential
  customers.
• Arizona State Police
• When compared to other products tested, it
  proved to be both superior in overall quality of
  hardware and in transmission capabilities.
• Major European Carrier
• We just came through a winter season filled with
  snow, rain and fog. The weather never caused any
  problems We made the right decision and are very
  happy with the SONAbeam optical link.
• Canadian Distributing Warehousing Company
• We are so glad to inform you that during the
  tests, the impression that each customer had for
  FSO changed in a very positive way in general and
  in particular for the fSONA product line. All got
  the same conclusion SONABeam is the best FSO in
  its class.

SONAbeam - Product of the Year
FSO is here, it works, and it can provide a
high-speed, point-to-point link without the need
to lay fiber or acquire a radio spectrum license.
While several vendors produce excellent FSO
equipment, fSONA stands out as 2001's most
innovative. Wireless links always mean a
three-way trade-off between capacity, range, and
reliability, but the SONAbeam excels in all
three. -the editors at Network Magazine
