What problem is viper solving?
“Many enterprises are getting desperate for improved mobile coverage, and are ready to buy their own infrastructure.”
“Landlords have difficulty renting space with poor mobile coverage. Hotels lose customers if mobile services are
weak.““Building owners are now ready to buy their own infrastructure, and a latent demand in the billions of dollars is ready for the right products and services to arrive”

• Each LTE small cell (HeNB) looks like a macrocell
• Directly connected into EPC – one S1 interface per small cell
• Initially simple, but can be problematic to scale• Additional S1 interfaces• Additional signalling bandwidth• Increased loading on EPC
• Small cell provisioning & monitoring are part of core network operations
• Hard to support multiple 3rd parties deploying additional small cells

viper small cell “underlay” gateway
operator funded partner funded enterprise funded Citizens Broadband / LSA
• Viper wraps all small cells into a single virtual “underlay” cell
• One S1/ S1-Flex interface into EPC• Minimises impact of small cells on
operator’s core network• Single Viper cell ID in neighbour list of all
Macro / Microcells• Viper gateway routes traffic to the correct
small cell• Offloads all small cell complexity from
the core network• Hand-in / Hand-out routing• Small cell handovers
• Scalable solution• No need to reconfigure the core network as
small cell network grows• Minimises costs of small cell deployment
• Rollouts can be funded by service partners and enterprise customers
• End-user can buy and self-install• SUMO™ Multi-Operator small cells• Citizens Broadband / LSA bands

Summary
• Viper makes 3G & LTE as easy to deploy as Wi-Fi• End-to-end solution• Viper platform hides all the underlying complexity from you
• Gateway components are virtualised• Hosted by operator, service partner, or in the cloud
• Managed as a service• By ip.access & in-country partners• You can buy, lease or rent the equipment
• Multi-Operator ready• SUMO™ adds traffic monetization capability• Allows small cell to be a source of profit, not cost
• Support for Licensed Shared Access & Citizen’s Broadband• Can be deployed directly by enterprises, partners or non-MNOs in these bands
