Target Customers

• Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SME), especially in “mixed‐use” buildings

• Businesses prepared to/or looking to exchange their fixed line PABX with mobile Centrex– Their customers want to communicate with a 

person, not a company– Saving PABX costs and expensive PABX service 

agreement fees

• Those who would consider Mobile Centrex if mobile coverage could be guaranteed– Every dropped call might be a 

missed business opportunity

• Taking care of the whole company,also employees with badcoverage at home

Page 9: Ubiquisys at Femtocells Americas 11

The building challenge• Large buildings• Steel or concrete walls + metal layer windows

• Large storage or workshop areas• Administration areas with partitioned offices

• Economically viable solution

Event drivers:• Customer relocating to new offices• Customers expanding their offices• Swapping to 3G phones changes customer perception of their indoor coverage

• Coverage at home for key personnel
