Converged Wireless System (CWS)

1 Multi-mode, multi-band

Most compact and light weight high

performance high power macro:

radio, filter, baseband, edge router,

integrated backhaul -- just add

antenna, back up and IP (power supply

is integrated in SCO design)

Various outdoor installations

Low power consumption

LOW OPEX AND CAPEX

Self-configuring and self-optimizing

via HNG

Much lower cost

Self-configuring and self-optimizing

via HNG


CWS Cluster orchestrated via HNG

located in Data Centre

Satellite

Backhaul

Backhaul Flexibility: use ANY available fixed or

wireless backhaul

HNG

Backhauls of varying capacity

and latency available at

different times

Private/Public

Internet

Mesh

Backhaul

• A RAN solution based on any

available today/tomorrow

backhaul:

• Fixed – i.e. fiber,

microwave, satellite

• Wireless Hybrid – 3G/4G

services

• Disaster recovery, dynamic

routing

• Easy deploy, easy to maintain

Connecting the Unconnected Canadians I n t h e N o r t h


How Costly & Lack of Internet Service Affects Lives

16

• Constrains healthcare and legal systems that rely on

teleconferencing and routine transfers of large files.

• Impacts the education system: *** all of Nunavut’s schools

(42 schools/8,000 students) must share between them 50

mbps worth of bandwidth.

• Lack of internet connection affects business, airlines,

government departments and schools as well as individual

users.


The Unlimited PlanBridging the Digital Divide

17

“For too long, Canadians in the North have paid outrageously high fees and been frozen out

of basic communications services that customers in the south take for granted. “We felt that

…we could offer to help bridge the digital divide that currently exists between Northern

Canada and the south.” Samer Bishay, President and CEO, Ice Wireless


What are the challenges for SPs in delivering services?

18

• Overall deployment cost/for relatively small number of end

users in very harsh conditions

• Access to transport/cost of transport

• Arctic Fiber project needs $ 850 M and at least 2 years out

• Satellite is primary type of transport

• Network operational cost (power, very harsh conditions)
