  1. Our Mission Providing wireless connectivity through a ubiquitous, high-speed digital network servicing the transportation industry and mobile professionals.

  2. Wi-Fi and Transportation Industry Segments that Wi-Fi can Service… • Individual drivers and truck owners • Fleet dispatch, management and maintenance • Shipper and Consignee communication • Third-Party application providers and solutions • OEM product and service management • Terminals, truck stops, and other points of convenience

  3. Wi-Fi Enabled Drivers • No Plugs, no searching for phones, no long distance, no more slow-speed connections • Convenience of e-mail and surfing right from the comfort of their cabs • Access to value-added services: V.O.D.; VOIP; load matching; weather, traffic, ordering truck stop services; purchasing permits; scheduling truck maintenance; online purchasing; games and other entertainment etc.

  4. Wi-Fi Enabled Fleet Drivers and Vehicles • Use Internet access as a recruiting tool • Enhance driver productivity with tools and applications for electronic verification of deliveries, vehicle operation, etc (scanners, etc.) • High bandwidth connectivity for intensive instruction, training or application support • Least-cost-routing network for critical, non-real-time communication requirements

  5. Wi-Fi Enabled Shippers and Consignees • Improved Customer Service profile • “Hot-spots” at company terminals and key shipment locations leverage common applications and appliances between warehouse and vehicles • Complement EDI functionality • Increased penetration of consumer devices, replacing highly proprietary industry specific appliances

  6. Wi-Fi Enabled Industry Applications Application Providers can leverage… • Low-cost, high bandwidth, robust connectivity • Common protocols and functionality • Thousands of points of connectivity • Cost-effective modem and antenna technology • Easy integration for end-users to manage their own data • Migration of applications by legacy providers • Introduction of new application entrants to the market

  7. Wi-Fi Enabled OEM Products & Services OEMs benefit from integrating Wi-Fi… • Enhanced vehicle maintenance and service capabilities for diagnostic analysis and reporting • Complement universal standards for data collection, and industry initiatives of TMC, VODC and Homeland Security • Cost-effective component development

  8. Wi-Fi Enabled Points of Convenience • Truck stops and terminals maximize driver connectivity during “off-duty”/down time • Reporting depots for non real-time app data: • fuel consumption & routing for IFTA filing; • electronic log book management; • monitoring engine usage, diagnostics, and idling; • check call landmarks • Other points of convenient connectivity: weigh stations, border points, rest stops, rail terminals and so on

  9. Wi-Fi as a Sustainable Resource for Transportation. • Universal standard and wide availability • Provision of services has to be cost effective to the individual O+O and fleet • Networks must remain “open” to the inclusion of application providers, service companies and other key players in the industry • Network providers must have strong “Roaming” capabilities • Networks must have strategy for seamless convergence of connectivity, incl: satellite, cellular and other data services

  10. Nation-wide high speed “hot spot” access • Flat, affordable monthly rates • “Roaming” both nationally and internationally • 3,000 truck stops, terminals, weigh stations and other industry landmarks in the U.S. and Canada • Wi-Fi deployments supported by T-1 infrastructure • Sprint’s 100% digital wireline network serves as backbone • Dial-up capabilities when not in a hot spot • PCS Cell capabilities for mobile communication • Introduction of: VOD, VOIP, transaction clearing house The Solution

  11. The Market • 3-3.5 million “Over the Road” truckers • On the road 18-22 days of the month • 25-28% have personal computers in the cab • Surveys show that as much as 60% of the available market named the cost of connectivity the reason why they are not computerized • Over 500K vehicles already have GPS tracking technology or dispatch applications on board • Ancillary market of 7 million registered RV’ers and millions in mobile sales forces frequent truck stops and travel plazas
