INTERNET CONNECTIONVIA 3G CELLULAR NETWORKS

IMPORTANT MARKET FACTS:

• Mobility is the main clients’reason for subscribing to Internet access via 3G cellular networks.

• But, once they have subscribed, the real fact is they use it mostly indoors, mainly at home.

• Coverage of mobile broadband is the second most valued issue for 3G clients (Download Speed is the first one, and Security Level the third).

• When extra equipment is needed in order to enhance coverage, clients are highly reluctant to admit complex installations, especially if they involve drilling walls.

3


IMPORTANT TECHNICAL FACTS:

• Perceived coverage in 2100 MHz band - 3G networks changes significantly from outdoors to indoors.

• A good outdoors coverage frequently becomes much weakerwhen evaluated indoors. 10% of 3G clients say they are unsatisfied.

4


IMPORTANT TECHNICAL FACTS:

• In order to increase the perceived indoors signal strength, B-node stations frequently increase their transmitted power.

• As an unintended consequence of this, they increase their mutual interference outdoors, and the whole network capacity becomes smaller.

5

RETEMSA’s SOLUTION

• Very small size, domestic repeater for enhancing indoors coverage.

• Models for 850, 900, 1800, 1900 and 2100 MHz bands.

• Able to work with 3G HSDPA and 2G GPRS / EDGE technologies.

6

REAL PLUG & PLAY SOLUTION:

• Absolutely NO installation costs. Neither works nor engineering required at all. No need of wall drilling or outside antenna.

• EasyBoost can be put to work by the end user with no technical skills.

• Coverage is improved in a fast, simple and cost-effective way.

7

REAL PLUG & PLAY SOLUTION:• The end user receives it at home, plugs it into an AC plug, with the included AC/DC converter (similar to those used with cell phones or laptops).

• EasyBoost must be placed where at least some weak signal is received (e.g. near a window). Then, just wait for this:

“RSSI” orange:Weak signal level,

can be used for HSDPA data traffic.

“RSSI” red:Too weak signal level, but can be used for voice or videoconference.

“ON”: The repeateris powered.

“RSSI” green:Optimal signal

level.

“TRAFFIC” indication lights when the repeater is handling Up-link traffic.

• Gain is automatically adjusted by the device, in order to optimize the link budgets (Up-link and Down-link).

• Maximum gain 95 dB.

• Maximum output power: +23 dBm (Up-link, for 850 and 900 MHz bands. See details in the MAIN FEATURES table).

Up to 95 dB

9

• EasyBoost provides benefits not only for its users, but for all the network, since it makes no longer necessary the extra-power transmission by the B-node stations (and the resulting mutual interference).

10

• Small donor and coverage antennas supplied with the device or built-in inside it.

• EasyBoost avoids self interference between both antennas by using RETEMSA’s proprietary “Switched Technology” for interference cancellation.

• Switched Technology allows gain values up to 70 dB over the antenna isolation value.

• EasyBoost can work with multiple, factory programmable, working band configurations (Single-band, Split-band), by using digital filters.

• This allows working band tailoring, to meet the band allocated to the network operator.

11

• Unnecessary noise contribution to the network is avoided by using proprietary SSP algorithms (“Start on Signal Presence”).

• Dynamic margin 70 dB.

• Intended to operate at the cell’s edge (CPICH / RSSI < -95 dBm)

• Coverage is enhanced with full GPRS and EDGE features. For 3G systems, HSDPA data speed > 500 kbps.

12

• Easily customizable for meeting a network operator’s own corporative look.
