THE EVOLUTION OF RADIO
5 800-292-1700 • WWW.TELEPATHCORP.COM THE EVOLUTION OF RADIO In the generations since its discovery in the 1800s, radio technology has powered some of the most pivotal moments in history. Radio transformed the way we consumed news with the first news broadcasts in 1920. It was instrumental in WWII, when the iconic “walkie talkie” helped Allied troops communicate on the front lines. It was the reason we could hear, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” live as we saw Neil Armstrong touch town on the moon from over 200,000 miles away. Today, Land Mobile Radio (LMR) has matured and become an indispensable tool for businesses of all types, from hotels to theme parks, factories, and warehouses. As other communications technologies were introduced, from early cellular communications in the 1980s to Wi-Fi and LTE in the 1990s and 2000s, radio has continued to be the communication tool of choice for the most important business and mission-critical communications. That’s because radio offers the fastest and most reliable means to communicate. With modern Push-to-Talk (PTT) technology, employees can talk instantly, without the dialing, routing, ringing, and answering steps of a regular phone call. And without the typing or dictating and sending of text messages. With no distractions to get in the way, PTT is what professionals use to get the job done right, when getting it done right the first time is critical. The trouble is that while your LMR network is helping your teams stay safe, smart and connected, adding broadband data for business applications can be tricky. Consumer solutions just won’t cut it at a commercial site. Wi-Fi coverage and capacity can be limited. Access points can be temperamental. Wi-Fi just wasn’t designed for complex commercial operations like yours. NOW THERE’S A BETTER WAY Nitro is the new platform that combines business-critical voice with lightning-fast private broadband data. Nitro delivers clear, crisp voice quality and comprehensive onsite coverage, blanketing every corner of your operation. It supports all your devices — from radios and smartphones to specialized handsets — and extends your existing voice network to support a universe of data applications, including security, productivity, work-order ticketing and customer service apps.

6 800-292-1700 • WWW.TELEPATHCORP.COM THE EVOLUTION OF RADIO If only Heinrich Hertz could see it now. The inventor, who in 1886 was the first person to broadcast and receive radio waves, famously quipped, “I do not think that the wireless waves I have discovered will have any practical application.” Of course, his discovery helped change the very nature of communications. Today, radio is still evolving, adding powerful features and applications that Hertz could only have dreamed of. The Bayonne, New Jersey, police department is widely credited as the first to operate a Land Mobile Radio (LMR) system in 1933. LMR networks revolutionized radio communications, allowing instant communications at the push of a button. In 1943, Motorola, then called Galvin Manufacturing Corporation, introduced the first FM portable two-way radio, the SCR300 backpack, for the U.S. Army. This “walkietalkie” as it was referred to, helped the Allies communicate more effectively in World War II, and the technology evolved in the decades to come.

7 800-292-1700 • WWW.TELEPATHCORP.COM From the 1940s to the 1970s, devices were added to mobile vehicles, transistors were incorporated that allowed them to greatly shrink in size, and data capabilities were added. Mobile communications took another leap in 1983 when the first commercial handheld cellular phone, the Motorola DynaTAC, was approved by the FCC and went on sale shortly thereafter. While businesses began to adopt cellular phones, their limitations as an enterprise communications tool meant that they often took a backseat to other technologies, such as LMR. In 1999, mobile data took another step forward as Wi-Fi was introduced for home use and became more ubiquitous in the enterprise space. As devices came to market with embedded Wi-Fi chips, more businesses began offering guests Wi-Fi access to make use of them, while also using Wi-Fi for wireless enterprise use. This advance did have it drawbacks, however, including finicky access points, tedious sign-on processes, and spotty coverage over distances. As the demand for mobile data grew, Motorola introduced MOTOTRBO professional digital radios in 2006, a breakthrough solution that revolutionized business-critical communications. The first commercial LTE deployment went live in 2009, and mobile enterprise apps became more powerful, taking advantage of the new speeds the network offered. Now workers could accomplish tasks on their mobile devices that previously required a computer or their physical presence at work. However, network congestion, weak signals in certain locations, and security remain issues for enterprises using public LTE for business. Today, Nitro offers the first fully managed platform that combines business-critical voice with private broadband data. The platform supports all devices, from radios to smartphones, and specialized handsets, while enabling a universe of blazing fast applications. All delivered as a secure, enterprise-grade service without the limitations of Wi-Fi and public broadband. HOSPITALITY For large hotels and theme park attractions, Wi-Fi and cellular data can often become saturated due to guests leveraging the enterprise network. That means the safety, security, and overall productivity of your workplace can be put at risk simply because the communication efficiency of your workers has been compromised. THE EVOLUTION OF RADIO MANUFACTURING At a manufacturing facility, Wi-Fi and cellular data can be inadequate. With so much metal and heavy machinery in the workplace environment, even the most traditional network coverage can be problematic — putting your team’s safety and productivity at risk. TRANSPORTATION In the transportation and logistics industry, on-time arrival and departure is imperative to business success. But environments can be dangerous — surrounded by fuel trucks and heavy machinery. And traveling passengers can congest Wi-Fi and cellular coverage. Avoiding delays can be a challenge. UNIVERSITIES On college campuses, everyone from teachers and campus security to administration workers and more is using a multitude of different communications devices. In addition, with so many students on campus, Wi-Fi and other cellular networks can easily become congested in times of emergency, putting the safety and security of students and educators at risk.

CBRS
22 800-292-1700 • WWW.TELEPATHCORP.COM We’ve entered a data-driven reality — where data has become a “fourth utility” for many businesses; a resource considered as vital as power, water and heating / cooling. Today, the demand for data is limitless. And organizations want access to their data faster and more securely. In response to these demands, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has approved the use of Band 48 — also known as CBRS. But what exactly is CBRS and what does it mean for your organization? WHAT IS CBRS? CBRS, or the Citizens Broadband Radio Service, is 150 MHz of spectrum in the 3.5 GHz band. Ranging from 3550 - 3700 MHz, this band has historically been used sparingly by U.S. federal government radar systems, a few fixed satellite receivers and wireless internet service providers. When looking for additional spectrum to manage the influx of new mobile users, the FCC identified the sparsely-used band for broader use to free spectrum for shared wireless. In order to ensure access for commercial purposes, CBRS is designed with a three-tiered spectrum sharing framework. At the top is the Incumbent Access tier. This is specifically allocated to existing users of the band, including Department of Defense personnel and U.S. Naval Radar, who will receive permanent priority and site-specific protection. A Priority Access tier is available to organizations that pay a fee for a Priority Access License (PAL). These licenses can be purchased at auction with limited renewal rights. The final tier is General Authorized Access (GAA), which covers the remainder of the spectrum and is available for general use. This three-tiered framework is managed through a Spectrum Access System (SAS) that works to protect higher-tier users from interference from lower-tier users, while optimizing the efficient use of available spectrum for all users.

23 800-292-1700 • WWW.TELEPATHCORP.COM INCREASED ACCESSIBILITY CBRS and its increased accessibility is a game-changer for business enterprises. Currently, there is no publicly available broadband spectrum for use by private businesses. As a result, some organizations looking for private broadband coverage are required to lease through carriers — often requiring a multimillion dollar system. Other businesses turn to public LTE or Wi-Fi to address their business data needs. While this has enabled workers to accomplish tasks on their mobile devices that previously required a computer or their physical presence on the job, network congestion, weak signals in certain locations and security remain critical issues. CBRS introduces publicly available broadband spectrum for the first time — significantly lowering the barrier to entry for business enterprises. And unlike previous systems, it does not require an organization to purchase spectrum, making it a much more cost-competitive option for broadband coverage. Organizations are able to design their own coverage, customizing the network to meet their unique needs. The system can easily be expanded or downsized to evolve with their business. MORE EFFICIENCY The economics of CBRS technology are more efficient than those of distributed antenna systems — networks of antenna nodes that provide wireless service within a geographic area or structure. In addition, the speed and consistency of service are considered potentially “more reliable than Wi-Fi” with the potential to “make Wi-Fi outmoded. While Wi-Fi has revolutionized wireless networking, it does have its drawbacks. Wi-Fi coverage and capacity can be limited, access points can be finicky and sign-on processes can be tedious. Ultimately, Wi-Fi wasn’t designed for complex commercial operations. CBRS overcomes these limitations and provides a more efficient option for large commercial enterprises like airports and factories — providing comprehensive on-site coverage that can blanket every corner of your operation. GROUNDBREAKING ADVANCEMENT But perhaps the most groundbreaking advancement of this newly introduced access to private broadband spectrum is the ability to employ highly reliable LTE networks that support the growing number of IoT devices. These devices, including smart meters, real-time surveillance systems and worker safety monitoring sensors, are increasingly becoming critical parts of business operations and they require constant, reliable broadband access. CBRS provides this, enabling organizations to embrace the potential of IoT. Ultimately, CBRS makes it possible to create an affordable, private data network at a lower cost and without the reliance on a wireless carrier. Looking forward, CBRS and the infinite capabilities it will unlock will help to drive automation, workforce productivity, efficiency and safety — all critical concerns for today’s forward-looking organizations. HOWWILL CBRS CHANGE COMMERCIAL COMMUNICATIONS? IS YOUR ORGANIZATION PREPARED? CBRS
24 800-292-1700 • WWW.TELEPATHCORP.COM CBRS CBRS ALLIANCE The CBRS Alliance is a group of more than 120 member companies that are dedicated to promoting LTE-based technology – branded as “OnGo” – as well as use cases and business opportunities. The Alliance has developed detailed specifications and an OnGo certification program to enable the commercialization of OnGo architecture and ensure seamless interoperability across vendors. FOUR MYTHS ABOUT CBRS Myth: CBRS is 5G FACT: CBRS WILL SUPPORT 5G TECHNOLOGY 5G is the fifth generation of cellular technology – offering faster speeds and increased network versatility. CBRS, on the other hand, is a specific spectrum of broadcast band and is a critical building block that helps to support 5G. 5G requires vast amounts of spectrum to operate, and CBRS can help to enable the growing demands for broadband and future 5G technologies. Myth: Spectrum access will be difficult FACT: SPECTRUM ACCESS WILL BE OPEN AND EASY CBRS will be governed by a three-tiered spectrum authorization framework. An Incumbent Access tier is limited to authorized federal and grandfathered Fixed Satellite Service users currently operating under the band. The Priority Access tier consists of Priority Access Licenses (PAL) that can be purchased at auction with limited renewal rights. It is important to note that there is no right to exclude others from the Priority Access tier. The final is a General Authorized Access (GAA) tier. This tier is open to any user, carrier, non-carrier, enterprise, residence or private citizen. GAA can utilize up to 150 MHz of the spectrum, and is guaranteed at least 80 MHz. Myth: Carriers will use up the CBRS spectrum FACT: THREE TIERS OF SPECTRUM WILL ENSURE CBRS ACCESS The push for 5G and the need to augment capacity may drive major telecoms carriers to turn to CBRS. However, the three-tiered system will help ensure access. The second level — Priority Access — will be auctioned to the highest bidders across the country and will likely include these telecom organizations. This still leaves the GAA tier for use. In addition, if a company purchases a priority tier and doesn’t use it, the spectrum becomes free for others to use – preventing companies from hoarding spectrum. Myth: Incumbents will impact effective usage FACT: DESIGNATED SPECTRUM WILL SAFEGUARD OPEN ACCESS There is some concern that military and satellite incumbents who are currently using a portion of the 3.5 GHz band will create interference or block out new users of the band. However, these military incumbents utilize the band within range of the U.S. coasts on a very infrequent basis. In addition, utilizing modern directional RF antenna technology allows new systems to be designed with very little chance of interfering with the incumbents.

37 800-292-1700 • WWW.TELEPATHCORP.COM VIDEO WITH CBRS DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE WIRING CONNECTIONS LIMITED SPECTRUM BETWEEN THE CAMERA AND THE CONTROL ROOM IS YOUR NETWORK Your enterprise data network is the critical piece that connects your cameras, sensors, control and software. Historically, businesses had two network connectivity options when setting up a video security system: physically cabling connected devices with Ethernet, or Wi-Fi — a wireless networking protocol that does not require direct cable connections. THE TROUBLE WITH WIRES Businesses need their networks to be reliable, flexible, and formidable when supporting critical video data. And while Ethernet is reliable, it lacks flexibility. Adding connections to your wired Ethernet network is difficult and can be extremely expensive. For example, let’s say your facility wants to set up a camera system to improve safety that would monitor the perimeter of your building — including the parking lot and campus exterior extending to the security gates. A logical location for camera installation would include the light poles located throughout your current parking lot. If your facility is already built, this will require excavation to dig underneath your lot in order to run the infrastructure needed for the camera system installation. Any further additions to your outdoor camera system will require additional excavation in order to install. THE TROUBLE WITH WI-FI While Wi-Fi may provide the flexibility missing with Ethernet, it falls short in fully supporting security camera solutions. With Wi-Fi, your organization will be sharing spectrum with other businesses in the area — as well as Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and employee, customer or guest devices. With the proliferation of smart and IoT devices throughout business, the result is a staggering amount of equipment consuming the somewhat limited spectrum bandwidth in your facility. And with the demand for data on the rise, this device contention will only continue to grow. For businesses that handle large amounts of visitors — including casinos and event spaces — the limited spectrum provided with Wi-Fi is ill-equipped to support a connected video system. Both customers and employees will compete for access to your data network, in addition to your security cameras. As a result of a finite amount of bandwidth, available spectrum will diminish — potentially interrupting your connection to your security camera network and putting customers, employees and guests at risk. Range can be another challenge with Wi-Fi. Businesses often try to expand their range by blanketing their facilities with access points to provide better network connectivity. This solution can be costly. As your operations expand, the number of access points needed will continue to grow — leading to additional business expenses.
