5. 1st LTE Commercial Launch – Dec.14, 2009
• Based on LTE @ 2.6 GHz
• Stockholm and Oslo
• Teliasonera has 3 nationwide
licenses; Sweden, Norway and Finland
•Ericsson is supplying the 4G city
network in Stockholm. Huawei is
supplying the 4G city network in Oslo.
At launch in 2010, Samsung will
supply the 4G modems in both cities
•During the introduction offer period
(until 1 July 2010) you pay 4
SEK/month incl. VAT. 4G and 3G
modem is included. At launch the
customer will have a 4G modem that
only handles the 4G traffic. Free
exchange to a modem that handles
both 4G and 3G when it is available
during second quarter 2010. Binding

6. Broadband Enabler
 Broadband is a right and no longer a privilege. It is a necessity and no
longer a luxury.
 According to the World Bank, every 10 percent increase in broadband
penetration helps to increase a country’s economic growth by 1.3%.

7. Broadband: Necessary Service Utility or Luxury?
 Who deserves broadband?
 Whether broadband is becoming a necessary utility, or remains a luxury
 Does every rural community, hoping to hang on to its schools and
hospitals, not t mention its young people, deserve to get broadband
access?
 Is broadband a necessary utility? If not now, will it ever be?

19. Why WiMAX?
 Delivers wireless broadband anytime, anywhere
 Internet technology from the ground up
 One common standard delivers a global platform for mobile
Internet services
 Delivers the highest capacity and greatest throughput at the
lowest cost - OFDMA

21. WiMAX is NOT a Cellular Voice Replacement
 WiMAX was not developed to
compete with cellular voice market
WiMAX WILL Complement
3G Data Services
• WiMAX is a technology choice delivering
high-capacity and high-throughput data
services

22. Contrasting Wi-Fi / WiMAX / Cellular
Wi-Fi
 CSMA/CA
WiMAX  Efficient for unpredictable traffic in an
unlicensed band
 Inefficient for predictable traffic (voice)
 “Sharing model” designed for unlicensed
• Fast dynamic scheduling band
 No control of resource allocation policy
• Contention access for bandwidth
requests only
• Resource allocation exclusively by BS –
retains tight policy control by network
• Efficient for both bursty, unpredictable 2G/3.xG Cellular
traffic and voice
• Packet overlays but based on slot
based, circuit switched resource
allocation
• Efficient for voice traffic
• Inefficient for bursty traffic (email,
http)
WiMAX is the Optimal Solution for Mobile Internet
