Developing a remote-world wireless market opportunity

65% of the world’s population remains unconnected to the internet

  • Wireless can be delivered using low cost infrastructure – GSM and LTE/WiFi
  • Small cell market equipped to meet needs of developing world

Market penetration limited by costly supply chain and vendor dominance

  • Extensive, complicated supply chain for infrastructure = margin stacking
  • Few OEMs control majority of market with operators locked into platforms
  • ARPU potential not enough to justify CAPEX or OPEX provision
