1 Faisal Ahmad MIMOS Berhad On Challenges in Deploying Wimax to the Unconnected Communities

2 Global Issue : Digital Divide Provides majority of the income for IT industry Business models defined for this segment Wellunderstood requirements 1 billion people High disposable income 2 billion people Need for government or agency sponsored programs Underpenetrated by technology No defined business models exist Emerging markets Majority live in rural areas Larger families, less education, high unemployment Limited access to credit, equipment and technology 3 billion people Source: C.K. Prahalad and Stuart Hart, Microsoft analysis 2002

3 Social & Economic value of ICTs Bridging the Digital Divide Social & Economic value of ICTs Poor Value realization due to insufficient value creating content Value Gap Adoption Gap Access Gap Intensity of ICT adoption Barrier to entry due to literacy level & language Complexity of computers Connectivity & Diffusion of ICT Connectivity High cost of deployment Time Source: UNDP & Malaysia Economic Planning Unit Study (2005)

4 National Agenda National Broadband Initiatives: Zone 1 : High Speed Broadband (HSBB) High Impact Area (>10Mbps) RM15.2 Billion TM and Gov partnership Target to cover 50% of household (2.5 million) by 2010 Zone 1&2 : Broadband for General Population (BBGP) Medium Impact Area (<2 Mbps) Zone 3 : Universal Service Provider (USP) Telephone and Broadband (>384kbps) Less than 80 people in 1 square km RM 2.5 Billion from Operators Contribution

5 Opportunities Population % Zone 1 13,318, % Zone 2 5,499, % Technology Choice FTTH, ETTH, VDSL, HSPA+, Wimax ADSL2+, HSPA+, Wimax Zone 3 8,911, % HSPA+, Wimax Total 27,729, % Broadband Evolution Household to Personal Fixed to Nomadic, Mobility Market Potential BBGP - Zone 1 and 2 USP - Zone 3 Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3

6 Zone 3 Challenges Expanding national BB network to rural and remote areas posed a particular challenges: Island Rumah Panjang Kampung Tourist Areas Lack of basic infrastructure such as road access & power supply Difficult to maintain due to distance and rough geographical terrain Low RoI: High cost and low ARPU Un-optimize network resources for sparsely populated areas

7 Last Mile Equipment Characteristics Dense Urban/Urban Sub-Urban Rural Cost Effective Maintenance Free Design Principles Cost Effective Maintenance Free High Performance Integrated Access & Backhaul Node Low Power Minimum site acquisition Self Healing Mesh Powerful Algorithm to enhance throughput

8 WiWi Gen 1 (CPE) Topology Star Site Configuration WiFi Access WiFi Access BS R8 R6 R6 ASN-GW FA R3 (operator B) HA AAA R5 WiFi Access B S R4 (operator A) HA AAA R8 R3 R6 ASN-GW FA BS NAP ASN

9 WiWi Gen 2 (BTS) Topology WiWi CPE WiWi Mesh Base Station WiWi Gen 1.5 STAR WiWi Gen 2.0 (operator B) HA AAA R8/R-prop R6 ASN-GW FA R5 STAR R8/R-prop R8/R-prop R8/R-prop R6 R3 (operator A) HA AAA R4 R8/R-prop R3 R8 WiFi-WiMAX Access R6 ASN-GW FA BS NAP ASN

10 Summary Wimax ensures cost effective Broadband (BB) solution No Monopoly of Technology - distribution of Intellectual Property Rights Minimum IP Royalty Why Wimax All IP Network architecture NLOS environment, High Bandwidth & Mobility Wimax & Wifi complementary technology solution Suitable for Rural, Sub Urban, Urban and Dense Urban Aside from all the BB and Wimax forecast.. BB adoption is Becoming Personal Heading to Nomadic & Mobility application Similar trend to evolution of Fixed - Cellular in early 90 s

12 Wimax Reference Point : Reference point between MS and BS Implements IEEE e air interface specification R2: Reference point between MS and ASN- GW or Logical interface used for authentication, authorization,ip host configuration and mobility management Gateway AAA NMS DHCP Sever R3: Reference point between ASN and Supports AAA, policy enforcement, and mobility-management capabilities. Implements tunnel between ASN and. R4: Reference point between ASN and ASN Coordinates MS mobility between ASNs R5: Reference point between and Control and bearer plane protocols for internetworking between home and visited network PSTN & PLMN Other Internet & ASP R6: Reference point between BS and ASN Implements intra-asn tunnels and used for control plane signaling R7: Reference point between data and control plane in ASN-GW Optional control plane protocols for coordination between data and control plane in ASN-GW R8: Reference point between BS and BS Control plane message flow between BSs to ensure fast and seamless handover
