6. Where is the university of new Mexico today • Mla (master level agreement), SLA (Service level agreements) reworking for all macro sites • Carriers wanting to stand up new macros for coverage holes (full macro and small cell) • Customers purchasing consumer grade bda’s and installing themselves without it support • Crown castle (Verizon anchor tenant) at the Basketball arena and football stadium • Two cows (cellular on wheels) needing permanent locations – working through • Carriers installing fiber to their macro sites for 3/4G capabilities • Interviewing different vendor/carriers for solutions, strategies • Carriers working on installing generators for their macros sites (Verizon first) • Note sites will carry the load for 4 hours on battery backup

9. BDA (Repeater) • Inexpensive and easy to deploy solution for in-building coverage. • Cannibalizes capacity from existing local macro cell infrastructure. • Limited coverage and capacity improvements. • Usually deployed due to cost constraints. • Not a long term solution, but more of a temporary band aid.

10. FEMTO CELL A FEMTO cell is a small cellular base station, typically designed for use in a home or small business • It connects to the user’s network via broadband (such as DSL or cable) about the same size as a Wi-Fi AP • Allows service provider customers to extend service coverage/capacity indoors to a specific area typically under 2,000 sq.. ft. • A femto cell device is generally a single band single technology stand alone device with no hand-off to the macro system. • Femto cells are very low power devices so that the best use is in an isolated area with no obstructions and no visibility to the macro system or DAS

11. Small Cell • Small, independent wireless unit. • Can be attached to light poles, sides of buildings or other existing verticality. • Limited coverage and capacity. • Each small cell needs its own power and fiber connections. • Can be an effective solution in certain applications.

12. HYBRID System – combination of das/small cells and macro cells • Combines existing macro cell infrastructure and augments it by utilizing small cells to fill in coverage gaps. • In-building coverage challenges • Large gathering areas (Student Union Buildings) where dense wireless usage is prevalent • University Hospitals or other large academic buildings • Small Cell or DAS Networks are scalable (additional capacity for future growth)

13. Connectivity Turnkey DAS Services • Coverage Needs Analysis • Site/Facility Assessments and RF Site Survey • Design and Engineering Services • Material Specification • Project Management • Wireless Carrier Coordination • Materials Staging and Fulfillment • Complete Professional Installation • System Testing and Commissioning • BTS and Civil Management • Project Closure Documentation

14. The Players in the DAS Ecosystem

15. Ownership Models

16. Not all Third Party Operators are alike

17. DAS 101- FYI • Telephone carriers are installing customized telecommunications systems to improve cellular phone service, fill in coverage gaps, and provide better emergency communications capabilities. Investments range from tens of thousands to several millions of dollars • Small scale – femtocells, picocells, and metrocells (small cell) – demand in today’s smartphone culture • 60 percent of mobile calls and 70 percent of data usage occur inside the buildings • 61% of larger US offices have noticeably poor indoor cellular reception • In the past, phone companies tried to handle such needs by simply building more cell towers, so the market for DAS and small-cell solutions in new and existing buildings is forecast to skyrocket in coming years • DAS and small cell • DAS creates wide zones of coverage using multiple antennas connected to a base station hub by fiber or copper wiring – antennas as small and unnoticeable as a smoke alarm, are usually affixed to ceilings, and can cover 5,000 square feet to 25,000 square feet of space – the base station requires a separate room with upwards of 50,000 square feet for the equipment – large coverage areas involved, such as stadiums and university campuses - $1 to $5 per square foot ($10.76 to $53.80 per sq. m) – average cost from 500,000 to 2.5 M • Small cells – 650 square feet of space, .25 to .50 per square foot – outfitting a 100,000 square foot - $35,000 to $65,000 • Operator-driven, property owner financing, third-party integration • DAS and small cells towers, reducing the need to build more towers • A macro site is between 2.5x and 8x more expensive than a small cell • By 2017, over 70% of enterprise and carrier-grade small cells will include Wi-Fi

18. Process – MLA/SLA • See Additional documents • RF Emissions Audit. Within sixty (60) days of the Tenant’s equipment being operational and every two years thereafter, Tenant will obtain and provide to Landlord, at Tenant’s own cost and expense, an RF emissions safety audit report from a qualified third party RF engineer, which will measure and report RF emission levels and whether they comply with FCC emissions regulations. If any violations of any applicable RF emissions standards are found, Tenant will cure those violations to comply with all RF emissions standards and implement any safety recommendations of the RF engineer.
