Dynamic Spectrum Arbitrage (DSA)

Radio Club of America

Nov 21st 2015

1 1

• DSA Decouples Spectrum ownership and wireless service

• Allows wireless operators to lease excess capacity to other wireless operators and MVNOs and monetize underutilized resources

– Competitors

– Non-traditional

– Roaming Partners

• Making excess capacity available for lease dynamically

– Rivada DSA Technology allows for a dynamic bandwidth open access marketplace

– Will lead to Commoditization of Spectrum (a whole new industry)

Possible enhancement to the present licensing process used by regulators (FCC)

Dynamic Spectrum Arbitrage (DSA) Intro

2

• DSA does not require provisioning the uSIM on the subscriber handset

• DSA does not require a mobile application or modification to the OS on a subscriber handset

• DSA enables dynamic usage consumption and tracking in geographic defined areas

• DSA works with multiple subscriber OS platforms such as Android and iOS

• DSA fosters innovations in wireless technology adoption

Dynamic Spectrum Arbitrage (DSA) Intro

Imitation is the highest form of flattery…

• LSA (Licensed Shared Access)

• Delivers the equivalent of DSA without a marketplace to maximize the value of dynamically shared spectrum

DSAFlex

Improves DSA Architecture flexibility

•DSAFlex = flexible integration approach by offering several approaches

– DSAX : X Interfaces

– DSA9 : MOCN approach (100% 3GPP)

– DSA-Lite : Pure Roaming (100% 3GPP)

• DSA9 and DSA-Lite architecture do not need the X interface Service Packs (SP)

•DSA-X remains Rivada’s preferred integration approach for the long term

Technology Overview

DSAX

• Optimal solution, as it has all the features and capabilities for DSA

• Requires Software Packs (SP) to be implemented in OEM nodes
