  1. 4G LTE Goes Mainstream Applications for State Government Matt Hensler, Wireless Solutions Engineer, Sprint matt.hensler@sprint.com 512-231-3933

  2. Agenda • The State of LTE • 4G LTE Applications • Future of LTE / Mobile Broadband • Q&A

  3. The State of LTE

  4. The Mobile Data EXPLOSION • Key Facts: • Global mobile data traffic grew 81 percent in 2013 • 2013 mobile data traffic ~18x the size of the entire global Internet in 2000. • 2000: One exabyte of traffic (1 EB = 1 Billion GB) • 2013: 18 exabytesof traffic. • Mobile video traffic >50 %for the first time in 2012 • 53% of traffic by the end of 2013. How do we deal with the influx of mobile data traffic???

  5. 4G LTE What is it? • 4th Generation Long Term Evolution • De-facto worldwide 4G standard Why is the technology better? • More efficient air interface; wider RF channels • Flat, all-IP based network What it means to you: • Higher capacity • Multi-megabit speeds; 10x faster than 3G • Lower latency

  6. Status of 4G LTE US Deployment History: • 2010: First commercial availability • 2011-2013: National build-outs • 2014: Build-outs nearing completion; carriers deploying additional capacity US: • Over +300M people/97% population covered • 2 Flavors: Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) & Time Division Duplex (TDD) Worldwide: Deployed by 331 operators in 112 countries 11 Different LTE Bands used by Big 4 carriers

  7. LTE Trends LTE Subscriptions Growth LTE Subscription Forecast: 2013-2018 Source: Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA)

  8. 4G LTE Applications

  9. What can 4G LTE do for YOU? It’s more than just a cool feature on a Smartphone or Tablet…4G LTE can: • Provide Redundancy • Serve as an Alternative Access Method • Deliver Video Surveillance & Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communications • Improve Customer Satisfaction • Improve Collaboration & Productivity

  10. Wireless Back-Up / Business Continuity Use Cases: • Locations that need an extra layer of redundancy • Locations with unreliable wired connectivity • Applications that need 24x7 uptime Benefits: • Minimizes service interruptions and maximizes uptime • Provides added piece of mind

  11. Small Office/TEMP Office/REMOTE WORKER Use Cases: • Offices with a handful of employees • Locations in areas covered by wireless but not good wireline locations • Temporary office spaces Benefits: • Provide instant high-bandwidth connectivity • LTE devices can easily be redeployed to other locations

  12. Disaster Recovery Use Cases: • Support short-term field activity and remote operations almost anywhere • Need for instant connectivity in a disaster recovery scenario Benefits: • Enable instant connectivity and secure network access to keep workers connected • Utilize a rugged, portable container designed to withstand harsh field environments and challenging conditions

  13. Video Surveillance & M2M Use Cases: • Remote areas with no/limited wired connectivity • Temporary locations/job sites where mobile surveillance is needed • Other things that wireless enabled: parking meters, sensors, etc. Benefits: • Higher bandwidth: 4G LTE more suitable for video streaming • Flexibility: Wireless provides more options for remote installations

  14. KIOSK / DIGITAL Signage Use Cases: • Agencies looking to deploy kiosks and/or digital signage • Need to deploy kiosks beyond the “4 walls” of the agency Benefits: • Allows more flexibility in installation • Higher bandwidth allows content and management to easily be changed over the air

  15. Connected Vehicle Use Cases: • Vehicles that need to be turned into a Wi-Fi hotspot • Police, public safety, mobile command centers, public transportation Use Cases: • Connect multiple Wi-Fi devices in a vehicle via a single LTE connection

  16. Guest Wi-Fi Use Cases: • Enhance customers experience in waiting/common areas • Don’t want “Guest” traffic over agency network Benefits: • Improves customer satisfaction • Keeps “Guest” traffic off your network • Simple, easy to install

  17. Unified Communications Use Cases: • Agencies who want to communicate with field personnel via collaboration tools • Field workers who need to use real-time video to assess, inspect, or respond to a situation Benefits: • 4G LTE provides a better mobile video conferencing experience • Communicate in real time with other workers/remote personnel. • Utilize collaboration apps on tablets, smartphones, etc.

  18. Mobile Workforce Productivity Use Cases: • Agencies looking to deploy tablets and business applications as a mobile workforce tool • Agencies looking to go paperless Benefits: • Higher bandwidth & low latency make smartphones and tablet a more effective mobility tool • Eliminate paperwork by digitizing forms

  19. Things To CONSIDER • Coverage Analysis / Site Surveys • Equipment Selection & Placement • Bandwidth Needs / Application Requirements • Data Plans • Performance Expectations

  20. The Future of LTE / MBB

  21. WHAT’s NEXT FOR 4G LTE? • Spectrum Availability • LTE Advanced • The Internet of Things • 5G?

  22. Q & A
