  1. Solving the Spectrum Crisis December 2013

  2. Benefits for Security • Eliminate the continual sun-setting of hardware – (amps, 2G, 3G, 4G) software vs hardware approach to control product lifecycle • Increased network capacity that opens the door for new applications – broadband access for wireless products that will support more features without relying upon competing networks (voice, video and data) • No spectrum cost – Access vast amounts of new spectrum. Deliver a licensed spectrum experience using unlicensed “opportunistic” spectrum • Secure, reliable two-way communication – All-IP, priority response, two-way audio for PERS and verification. Downloading capability

  3. Problem: The Spectrum Crisis Leaves little or no licensed spectrum available

  4. RethinkingSpectrum • Mobile communications are gasping for capacity from huge mobile bandwidth demand • Wireless network capacity is spectrum limited • Yet spectrum (overall) is utilized inefficiently today • Average occupancy of spectrum is 5.2% • Scarcity today is due to inefficient use rather than a physical shortage

  5. Cognitive Radio Overview • Cognitive (smart) radios are able to identify spectrum (i.e. radio frequencies) that is not being used, and to quickly tune to those frequencies to transmit and/or receive signals. • Have the ability to instantly find other spectrum if interference is detected on the frequencies being used. “I ran an excursion where we attempted to jam it with conventional military jamming systems, and we were unable to do it, xMax was able to stay ahead of the jammers that were trying to attack it and kept the communications systems up and operational throughout the two weeks that I ran the jammers”. Mike McCarthy, Director of Operations, Brigade Modernization Command , Ft. Bliss, TX

  6. New Policy Approach • Recent advancements in technology & spectrum policy provide strategic path to spectrum • Policymakers introducing “opportunistic” spectrum use and dynamic spectrum access via cognitive techniques “NTIA proposes a new path forward for spectrum repurposing that relies on a combination of relocating federal users and sharing spectrum between federal agencies and commercial users.” “The FCC should spur further development and deployment of opportunistic uses across more radio spectrum” Occurring globally “identify immediately 1,000 MHz of Federal spectrum for sharing with the private sector”

  7. DHS Re-Banding • 150 MHz of spectrum Identified that may benefit from Cognitive Radio 1675-1695 MHz (20 MHz) • need for more spectrally efficiency transmissions and interference avoidance. P.24 • Options to mitigate the potential for interference should be included in deployment plans P. 25 1350-1390 MHz (40 MHz) • intelligent avoidance of interference may be required. P. 29 • The development of technologies for the intelligent avoidance of interference is less clear and an area of potential focus by the community. P. 30 1435-1525 MHz (90 MHz) • intelligent interference rejection circuitry is required P. 31

  8. Controlled Private Network • Operate a secure private network that delivers controlled access to a defined set of users with no spectrum cost • Delivers a licensed spectrum experience using free spectrum • Does not require significant technical skill to employ or operate, is secure and difficult to jam or hack • Compelling economics • no spectrum costs • lower Capex • lower Opex • rapidly deployable Mesh Node

  10. xMax Demo: Key Attributes Video, Web, calling, texting, PTT, location tracking between networks Smartphones xMax Network Handheld Tablets WiFi For Up To 5 Devices xMax client Video Camera xAP Audio Microphone Laptops

  11. Recommendations • Get engaged in spectrum policy formation • Control destiny by shaping technology that meets your needs – pull strategy • Validate technical ability to meet needs • Drive economies of scale via aggregation • Aggregation of demand within industry • Cross industry alliance with other spectrum challenged industries
