Our Solution for the Next Generation
• 5G is Coming: it is necessary, demand already out paces 4G.
• What is 5G: “G” = Generation, 5G brings greater speed (move more data), lowers latency
  (more responsive), and connects more devices at once (sensors and smart devices).
            •   1G was Analog,
            •   2G was 1st digital (CDMA, GSM…),
            •   3G moved digital from Kbps to Mbps,
            •   4G is incompatible with 3G, moved speeds up to Gbps (LTE, WiMAX,..)

• 5G Wireless: possible in only two ways, OptiPulse LightSpeed Wireless™ and mmWave
  wireless. OptiPulse has a very low CSWaP (Cost ,Size , Weight and Power) Photonics
  technology; Major telecoms mmWave is more expensive per device, and uses more
  energy.
• 5G Devices: will require a large manufacturing base, Ericsson forecasts IoT devices will
  grow by 5 times from 700 million in June 2018 to 3.5 billion in 2023.
• Opportunity: a 5G infrastructure will make rural communities immediately attractive to
  industrial automation, autonomous vehicle, IoT and other manufacturing companies.

                OptiPulse can make the US first in 5G Mesh Network

Commercial Geosynchronous Satellites

                                       16
GEO satellites provide broadband service across
CONUS, comparable to terrestrial alternatives

   • Services are available to households and businesses in all 50
     states, and offerings include up to 100 megabits per second
     (Mbps).
   • Approximately 2 million customers subscribe at reasonable
     rates to speeds that meet the FCC’s definition of broadband
     service
      – Growth of 5% since 2016
   • Geostationary satellites have rapidly increased throughput,
     from 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) in 2008, to 260 Gbps
     today, to 1000 Gbps expected by the end of the decade.
   • Critical to disaster relief efforts; 95% of cell sites in Puerto Rico
     and 77% in the Virgin Islands were wiped out after Hurricane
     Irma
High Throughput Satellites allow for
frequency reuse

                        Eutelsat's KA-SAT satellite spot beams coverage over Europe and the Mediterranean Basin
                        (different colors show frequency reuse)

SUMMARY COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGIES
     Rather than being fixed on network speed alone, wireless networks must be evaluated on
     5 Core criteria:
     •   Capacity: the total amount of data a network can handle. Higher is better.
     •   Coverage: the ability to establish connections to devices in a given area. More is better.
     •   Range: the maximum distance where a connection can be made. Further is better.
     •   Deployability: the time and skill level needed to deploy the network. Less is better.
     •   Usability: the amount of configuration and ongoing maintenance needed. Less is better.

            ability to meet performance requirements, budgets and timelines, the company’s ability
            to attract and retain key employees, the enforceability of the company’s patents, the
            company’s ability to raise capital on acceptable terms when needed, the availability of
            key components, and potential changes in currency exchange rates. These uncertainties
            may cause actual results to differ from information contained herein. There can be no
            assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate. Actual results and future

Why Mage?

            “Any sufficiently advanced
            technology is indistinguishable
            from magic.”

Infrastructure Networks Fight
              Physics

            • Use power and height to achieve
              range and coverage
            • Coverage gaps still exist
            • More towers at increasing costs
            • Licensed spectrum limited and
              expensive
            • Fiber is never going to be
              ubiquitous or mobile.

Other
            approaches

            Google, Facebook
            and SpaceX are
            all attempting
            to solve this
            problem.
            These approaches
            cost hundreds of
            times more than
            Mage Networks’
            MagiNet™.
            The risk of
            failure is much
            higher.
