  2. Mipps Inc. 42 spectrum licences @ 3.5 GHz – 25 MHz & 50 MHz BW Cover 18 million population – 55% of Canada Include 14 of 18 largest cities in country Over 600,000,000 MHz pops

  3. Primus Telecommunications Canada Full Service, national, consumer and business telecom provider: Voice customers Internet Subs POPs Data Centres • Annual revenue > $300 million • Profitable ~ $55 million Ebitda • 35 quarters of positive EBITDA • 250 million minutes per month LD • 2,000 M /month IP traffic • Long Distance • Local Phone Service • TalkBroadband (Voip) • Wireless Service • DSL high speed • Dial-up • Hosting • Internet data centre • Managed Services • VPN/WAN

  4. Current Trials Hamilton Ontario • Alcatel/Lucent equipment – 802.16e 2005 • 10 BTS sites with near contiguous coverage with indoor CPE and PCMCIA for fixed and nomadic/portable capability • Mix of urban & suburban, commercial/industrial and residential Toronto Suburbs-Markham/Richmond Hill/Brampton/Mississauga • Motorola equipment – 802-16e 2005 • 10 BTS sites without contiguous coverage • Mix of residential and commercial mostly in suburban or industrial/commercial park environment • Service design including fixed outdoor modem

  5. Initially focus on Technical Validation • Basic Radio Performance • Throughput (vs. distance, mobility speed, CIR) • Interference in multi-cell environment • Advanced antenna technology (MIMO, AAS) • System Capacity (bps/Hz, frequency reuse, bandwidth) • Portable/Nomadic Service • CPE capability • Handoff (inter-sector, inter-BS, Layer 2, Layer3) • Service Feasibility • Application level throughput (TCP/UDP) • Internet access / VoIP

  6. Alcatel-Lucent Hamilton WiMAX Trial Near contiguous coverage with indoor desk top modem and PCMCIA card Portable/nomadic business model

  7. Motorola - Markham/ North Toronto/ Mississauga/ Brampton Design including outdoor CPE ( LOS & NLOS) without contiguous coverage Fixed DSL replacement business model

  8. Promising Technical Trial Results • Trials are continuing • New features, enhancements & bug fixes ongoing every few weeks • Many cases coverage better than expected • One quarter watt PCMCIA indoor reception throughout library • One half watt desktop CPE omni antenna > 10 kms NLOS • Large variations depending on positioning • > 4 Mbps anywhere on second floor of house • 1 Mbps on main floor on side close to base station • No reception on main floor on opposite side of house • Reception continuous when traveling > 100 km/hr • ‘Instantaneous’ handoff between sectors and cells

  9. Comments • Predicting indoor coverage is problematic • Uplink limited link budgets and throughput • Other proprietary fixed systems have output power up to 2 watts & directional antennas • Significant benefit of additional uplink power for fixed applications • Additional sub carriers for more throughput • Higher modulation modes • Network capture vs maintain sessions at cell edge • Planning to commence roll-out in Q1 2008 • Extent and speed of construction dependent on financing and/or strategic partners
