1 Mobile Broadband and benefits with harmonized UHF spectrum Hans Höglund Director, Government & Industry Relations Business Unit Networks, Ericsson Ericsson AB

2 Broadband access is a government priority..the Australian Government views the provision of broadband access as an essential nation-building activity. It is the key to how we will participate in the future economic, political and social life of the country. Senator Stephen Conroy, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy. 19 August 2008 Our digital networks will be the backbone of our economy in the decades ahead, Britain must invest in the industries of the future as it fights its way out of recession Gordon Brown, Jan 29, 2009 To build an economy that can lead this future, we will begin to rebuild America. It means expanding broadband lines across America, so that a small business in a rural town can connect and compete with their counterparts anywhere in the world. And it means investing in the science, research, and technology that will lead to new medical breakthroughs, new discoveries, and entire new industries. Barack Obama Jan 8, 2009 The ICT industry generates 25% of the total growth in Europe Ericsson AB

3 Mobile Broadband Consumer experience 2008 Automatic install and configuration Data speeds 0,5-7 Mbps with mean ~2-3 Mbps Mobile use in trains, buses and cars Coverage essentially everywhere Applications handle short interruptions Robust Connection stays up HSPA provides a robust DSL-like broadband experience Ericsson AB

4 3GPP family success gives economies of scale 8000 Reported Subscriptions (million) GPP family LTE WCDMA/HSPA GSM/GPRS/EDGE TDSCDMA Mobile WiMAX CDMA Other Harmonized spectrum is a key mass market enabler This slide contains forward looking statements Source: Internal Ericsson Ericsson AB

5 Mobile broadband speed evolution Future Future LTE LTE releases releases LTE LTE HSPA HSPA Evolution Evolution 3G 3G HSPA HSPA Target Peak rate 384 kbps 3.6 Mbps 7/14 Mbps 21/28/42 Mbps ~150 Mbps / Gbps 2013 Higher peak data rates enable a better user experience Ericsson AB

6 Data now 6 times more than voice Fast subscriber growth Strong traffic growth WCDMA/HSPA world wide 300 million WCDMA/HSPA subscribers world wide 6 million new HSPA subscribers per month, 83 million in total 1276 HSPA devices are launched from 164 suppliers HSPA is deployed in 237 networks in 105 countries/territories 85% of the traffic in WCDMA/ HSPA networks is data M B it/s /R N C sep- 06 okt- 06 nov- 06 dec- 06 jan- feb- mar- apr- maj- jun- jul- aug- sep- okt- nov- dec- jan- 08 High speed packet data Sum of Speech traffic (MBit/s/RNC) Sum of HS Packet traffic (MBit/s/RNC) Sum of Others traffic (MBit/s/RNC) Packet data Speech feb- mar- apr- maj- jun Sum of DCH Packet traffic (MBit/s/RNC) Sum of CS64 traffic (MBit/s/RNC) jul- 08 aug- 08 sep- 08 okt- 08 LTE will accelerate this trend further more spectrum needed!

7 Harmonization of spectrum For mobile broadband International harmonization of spectrum gives: rich ecosystem providing interoperability easy cross border coordination international roaming availability of affordable products bridging the digital divide Harmonized spectrum has enabled global mobile penetration of 59% Ericsson AB

8 The 800 MHz band brings broadband everywhere 5 Reference frequency is 700 MHz Suburban environment Required number of sites (normalized) Carrier frequency (MHz) The 800 MHz band is a coverage band and will do with a 3rd of the sites compared with higher bands Ericsson AB

9 Conclusions Mobile Broadband growth based on HSPA evolving to LTE Harmonized spectrum approach is crucial UHF band is excellent for coverage wherever needed Ericsson AB
