Connecting the Next 4 Billion
Copyright 2015 Carlson Wireless Technologies Inc. 2
4 Billion People Have No Internet Access
Why? Solutions for many rural areas and developing countries
aren't economically feasible.
Copyright 2015 Carlson Wireless Technologies Inc. 3
Problem: 8M U.S. Homes Have No Broadband
Lack of Connectivity Due to Costs of Expanding the Existing
Infrastructure, Terrain, and Low Density
4Copyright 2015 Carlson Wireless Technologies Inc.
Solution: Carlson’s TV White Space Technology
 Graphics illustrating mountain
 TVWS spectrum is low-band and clean spectrum at no cost. Signal penetrates
walls/trees/foliage and bends over hills to reach NLOS customers.
 25 Mbps broadband signal with low latency for up to 10 km to 14 km radius.
 Much lower CapEx than deploying other technologies (fiber, DSL, or WiMAX) in
most less populated areas.

meeting the strict regulatory requirements and yet has twice the power and
range of competitors.
 Patentable proprietary antenna designs and technology with excellent
competitive “blocking” capabilities.
 One of the few companies with FCC approval to sell in U.S. market.
Regulatory hurdles are extremely rigorous, resource intensive, and time
consuming.

domestic and global service providers, as well as top supply chain vendors.
No competitor has these relationships.
 Carlson dominates the industry in technology/performance & price. More
deployments than all competitors combined, with 55 demonstrations/trials
in 22 countries.

Editor's Notes

  1. problem – size of the opportunity in US
  2. Future items diffient
  3. More likely to extract less margin as growth occurs – S&M should be less if deals are large, G&A – R&D should be dropping in % This team make the product, and is capable to get $100 M in preorders – after that bring in professional management Cambium, Ruckus, Aruba - >if we are doing $50M and pipeline growing, then $100M
  4.  loans that are due, repayment obligations, structural stuff, As a precondition to raise, 3rd party investor, do not want to solve prior lending problems. Trade debts, Rev to equitable treatment to existing people Equity In the context of a mortgage process, forbearance is a special agreement between the lender and the borrower to delay a foreclosure. The literal meaning of forbearance is “holding back.” Loan borrowers sometimes have problems making payments.
