5. LTE Advanced
August 2016 = Verizon launched LTE-Advanced; AT&T and T-Mobile
launched similar services
LTE-Advanced:
Bonded Frequency technology
Broadcasts on multiple wavelengths (700MHZ, 1900MHZ, 2400MHZ and others)
Focused on download speeds vs. upload
Multiple frequencies bonded to produce faster internet connection
6. Performance Characteristics of Bonded LTE
Download: 30-75mb
Upload: 10-12mb
Latency: 80-100 mSecond
Even faster without static IP
7. Router Technology
Wireless modem/router must have CAT6 chipset installed to pick up additional
frequencies
Routers manufactured before Q4 2016 will not have this chipset
Routers continue to be manufactured utilizing the LP4 chipset (cheaper and slower)
Broad Sky ONLY deploys CAT6 chipset modems for customers (as of 2017)
CAT6 chipset routers are future-proofed and will detect Bonded LTE signal as it becomes
available
8. Multi-Site/Multi Carrier Pooling
No One Carrier has the best signal strength and Bonded LTE everywhere
Multiple Carriers are required to achieve best overall performance
Dual Sim deployment ensures best chance of peak signal strength
Managing multiple carrier contracts, weak signal environments, multiple data pools is the
hidden cost of DIY deployment
9. Multi-Site/Multi Carrier Pooling…Solved!
Pooled GB plan regardless of underlying Carrier
Dual sim deployment at each location
Single pane of glass management of all devices
Flexibility on GB data pool size
Reporting of data usage across all carriers.
10. Multi-Site/Multi Carrier Pooling…Solved!
Pooled GB plan Real Example: Midwest based Coca Cola bottling chain
14 locations
13 locations 10GB $159.95/month… $1599.50MRC
10 ATT 2 VZN 1 Tmobile
1 location 50GB $950/month $950/MRC
180GB total data pool. $2,549.50MRC.
11. Multi-Site/Multi Carrier Pooling…Solved!
Pooled GB plan Real Example: Nationwide Airport based aircraft maintenance
18 locations
15GB $229.95/month… $1599.50MRC
270GB total data pool. $4,139.50MRC.
Bring your own internet concept. Airport internet is notorious for being difficult to access
12. Multi-Site/Multi Carrier Pooling…Solved!
Pooled GB plan Real Example: Eastern Seaboard Bank
211 locations
$59.95/month
211GB pool
Out of Band Management was the compelling reason this customer went with a Broad Sky
Solution on top of backup capabilities.
13. Multi-Site/Multi Carrier Pooling…Solved!
Pooled GB plan Real Example: Pipeline data collection (SCADA)
162 locations
Ruggedized router built for environment
Outdoor antennaes to pull in signal from distant towers
SCADA is low data file size and 1GB/site is adequate for production.
Wind, Solar, Oil and Gas, and Electric and Water all have some type of SCADA collection
14. Pricing
