The document discusses mobile data networks today and tomorrow. It outlines how mobile broadband usage has grown incredibly and customers want internet access wherever they are. Current networks use HSPA and HSPA+ technologies but face capacity constraints as usage of rich media grows. Long Term Evolution (LTE) will become the next mainstream broadband technology, offering higher speeds, more capacity, lower latency and costs compared to 3G. LTE will provide improved user experience but will evolve alongside existing 3G technologies for many years to serve customers.

2. Agenda Timeline 6 Tomorrow’s network 5 Trends and challenges 4 Today’s network 3 2 1 Value proposition Mobile broadband growth

3. Incredible growth in the mobile broadband market Source: PT Telenor estimates after Q209

4. Mobile broadband: a great value prop Plug & play Works first time and every time Easy Mobile internet throughout the country Mobile broadband where people live and holiday Anywhere Predictable prices for all segments All you can eat – but with fair usage cap’ Affordable A broadband experiece 0,5 – 1,5 mbps Broadband

5. Telenor offers nationwide internet coverage and broadband where people live and holiday >23% Area >400 WiFi hot spots >87% Households Coverage

8. We cannot allow network costs to grow linearly with capacity requirements Network cost (technology improvements) Profitability Voice dominated Data dominated Traffic volume Revenue Time Network cost (existing technologies)

9. Flexible spectrum usage Higher eNodeB capacity Flat architecture and IP connectivity Theoretical max-speed 160 Mbps Practical speeds up to 20-30 Mbps Better user experience Quicker response times Primarily a data carrier for a long time Still a shared resource Long Term Evolution (LTE) will become the next mainstream broadband technology Better user experience HSPA HSPA+ LTE Throughput Latency HSPA HSPA+ LTE 3G HSPA HSPA+ LTE … Cost per Mbyte Lower production-cost per bit Source: NSN Source: NSN

10. Download speed is a function of the distance to the base station and the number of users in one cell Total Capacity High poulation density – high density of base stations Small cells in urban areas; large cells in rural areas 10 Mbit/s 5 Mbit/s 2 Mbit/s 0.5 Mbit/s 10 Mbit/s 2.5 Mbit/s 5 Mbit/s 7.5 Mbit/s 1 Mbit/s 0.5 Mbit/s 0.2 Mbit/s 0.05 Mbit/s

12. LTE is not Short Term Evolution

13. Summary: mobile broadband users want coverage and capacity; they will get it through HSPA and LTE Customers are more concerned with coverage than peak data rates Not just speed LTE is the new standard for mobile broadband LTE will offer more capacity and less latency Improved user experience Evolution – not Revolution LTE, not LTR Users will be served by many parallel technologies for years to come 3G and LTE side by side
