  1. Technology deployed in Bella Bella B.C Canada (2005) Challenges • Community 350 miles north of major city • No affordable and reliable connectivity • Slow dial up access Bella Bella Challenges Solutions & Accomplishments • 2005 installed high speed internet connectivity solutions • Affordable and reliable services for schools, health centre, government offices • Community is now able to connect to the world of business and social networks

  2. The Origins of First Broadband Group (FBG) MIK Industries & Advance Interactive Inc. Joint Venture to Form First Broadband Group The power and reach of MIK’s 55 year old international network of companies First Broadband Group Developing, deploying and maintaining wireless systems to provide broadband services in rural communities. Patented technology solutions that offer the ultimate reach of reliable, secure wireless connectivity at extreme speeds. Merging Advanced Interactive Technology with the Power and Reach of MIK’s International Network

  3. Office throughout the world • Over 600,000 sq.ft. of facilities • 55 Years • 960 Employees

  4. Types of Connectivity Fiber: Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. DSL: Is a family of technologies that provides Internet access by transmitting digital data over the wires of a local telephone network. Cable / Coax: An insulated wire or wires having a protective casing and used for transmitting electricity or telecommunication signals. Backhaul: The part of a telecommunications network that connects the main body of the network with smaller sub networks. Satellite: A satellite placed in orbit around the earth in order to relay television, radio, and telephone signals. UHF (FBG Solutions) Ultra High Frequency propagation characteristics are ideal for long distance terrestrial communication, with a range farther than line-of-sight from the transmitter.

  5. Connectivity Comparison *1- Dependent on foliage & wind CPE movement *2- Dependent on distance to tower & amount of simultaneous users *3- Dependent on distance to D-slam *4- Licensed spectrum from Government body *5- Dependent on the availability to dig & capital cost *6- Depends on simultaneous users *7- Only offers in major cities

  6. Licensed (FBG) vs Unlicensed Spectrum

  7. Prioritized Broadband Usage

  8. Results Process Proof of Concept using FBG Technology Solutions Using the FBG technology solutions as applied to the UHF broadband we created a coverage area of 50 km radius, versus the typical 5 km radius, from a microcell tower. Applications to Industry Canada were procured, equipment was purchased, programmed and mounted on an existing broadcast tower in a rural community called Whitecourt, Alberta.

  9. After the proof of concept, the Company went forward implementing a community connection business model. With a R&D investment of $15 Million, FBG spent 4 years of installs, thousands of hours of tweaking and fine tuning to test and improve the capabilities and limitations of the UHF spectrum. Residential Viability Connection to local businesses and residences in Whitecourt, Alberta was achieved by utilizing a small two way antenna outside the building and a transceiver and a router inside. After perfecting the business model in Whitecourt, Alberta, the Company built its second FBG Technology System to service Grande Prairie, Albert and its surrounding areas.

  10. Total Network Coverage of 64,000 Square Km The Company has licensed network coverage along the Alaskan Highway #43 in Western Canada. Each System has an approximate coverage of 50 km radius or 8,000 square km. Resulting in Coverage of • 40,447 Residential Homes • 4,272 Businesses • Thousands of Well Heads • 10 First Nation Settlements FBG Expanding its Alberta Coverage

  11. Sample of FBG Rural Installation Gov't Services, Health, Schools, Social Networking, Monitoring Over 5,000 Well Heads

  12. Reliable Broadband Services to Rural Industries • Businesses, Farming, Mining, Oil/Gas, Well Heads & Camps Oil Fields Gas Well Heads Farming Industrial Camps Gas well Open pit Trailer Camp Site Mine pit

  13. Rapid Deployment Mobile Tower - Carrier on Wheels (COW) • Portable mobile towers provide network and wireless coverage • Emergency response during disaster relief • Quick deployment for recovery of any system tower issue • Perfect short term solution for exploration in the mining and oil/gas industries.

  14. FBG Network Operation Center (NOCC) • The NOC’s certified engineers monitor all the services of the systems and optimize the performance of the network . • We route issues to certified engineers who take immediate responsibility for all service tickets. • 24/7 Intelligence Monitoring • Fully Redundant NOCC

  15. Next Steps
