Why Inbuilding?
• Mobile trend continues
• People love their phones
• Shift in cell phone use
• 70% of mobile traffic is inside
buildings
• 80% of mobile data is inside buildings
• 4G speeds rival WiFi
• Carrier build plans have changed• Macro builds largely complete
• Increased focus on user density
• Large buildings are revenue sources
• Bottom line: Inbuilding coverage
will remain a focal point for
carriers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wRPOV-H8lY
• Extension of coverage in the
building.
• Small Cell / DAS / WiFi• Small Cell- Low powered base stations with limited
coverage/ capacity.
• Distributed Antenna System (DAS)- Network of antennas
in a venue connected to a single source
• WiFi- Local area wireless networking.
3
What is InBuilding?
• RF Source• Donor antenna/repeater- Collects RF from nearby macro
cell.
• Base station/eNodeB- Separate source from carrier, installed in headend or as part of a small cell network.
• Active DAS• Dedicated RF source, leveraging fiber for building distribution.
• Passive DAS• No dedicated source; RF signal may be amplified and
distributed via coax.

InBuilding Wireless Players
• Carriers- Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile,
Sprint• Verizon and AT&T, having the most presence
• Neutral host or dedicated
• Operator Owner (Neutral Host)• Crown Castle
• Extenet
• American Tower
• Boingo
• Myriad of consultants, integrators, and
IT shops
• OEMs• Traditional
• DAS-focus
• Venue Owners
• Cable Companies (WiFi)
• Yes• Vz- Region-by-region, only penetration is in
Philly.
• AT&T- Recent staff red.; only penetration is with
BAWA.
• Sprint- Focus is on small cells.
• Yes• Minimal traction with CC.
• Initial conversations with Extenet
• Yes• Oceus
• Yes• ALU, Nokia in Mexico
• JMA, Viavi (JDSU)
• Yes• Ronald Reagan Bldg.
• Yes• Some relationships, minimal traction
Player Potential Customer
• Fragmented/diverse market
• Approaches vary, resulting in no specific recipe for business and
project development
• Flexibility is key
• Plug and play nature of certain small cell solutions
• Umbrella services as the best approach?
• Partnerships
• Need to establish/finalize
• HP Communications, Bemis, and others
• Client penetration
• Old rules still apply: need to understand client drivers
• Need to know before RFQ is released.
