- 1. Enterprise mobility. Will your wireless deliver?
- 2. Horizon4G™ DAS In-building High-Availability Wireless The Good News The potential benefits of smartphones, iPads and all things wireless are life changing; increased productivity and efficiency in the corporate world; increases in patient safety and quality in healthcare; and, generally happier customers everywhere. That is, as long as we can get and stay connected. Apple iPhone Every now and then, we’re reminded about the challenges to the underlying wireless technology that’s meant to keep us connected. The reminder could be your last, dropped cell phone call in a public building, or the inability to stay connected when walking down the office hallway with your iPad. Just last year at a high-tech meeting, the late Steven Jobs had to ask the audience at Apple’s developer conference to turn off their Wi-Fi devices so that he could introduce the new iPhone. In-building 4G Cellular Buildings, where we spend 70% of our time, present special challenges to wireless connectivity. For example, in most large buildings, we can expect to receive no more than 20% coverage from the outside macro cellular network. And Wi-Fi, as a shared resource, must increasingly provide a broadband experience for more and more smartphone users, while providing reliable connectivity for a growing list of Wi-Fi IP devices and applications. The Solution InnerWireless/Black Box Network Services has pioneered an in-building, multi-service wireless delivery platform called Horizon4G™ DAS, designed to not only deliver virtually every wireless service we use but with a mission and life critical service quality we call Everything, Everywhere, Everytime.
- 3. Everything For many enterprises, providing in-building wireless services has meant designing and installing as many as 5 separate wireless networks. Every network is installed with differentcabling and antennas, each requiring surveillance and maintenance. In contrast, the InnerWireless/Black Box Network Services broadband, Horizon4G DAS, can be RF designed and one infrastructure installed to deliver one, two or virtually every wireless service that is consumed by today’s enterprise. Everywhere Wireless coverage and signal quality are hallmarks of high availability wireless and are performance measures that InnerWireless/Black Box Network Services guarantees. Poor wireless coverage not only frustrates users and generates non-value added IT help desk calls, but it can also degrade overall system performance. To an end user, wireless coverage is about the ability to use their wireless device of choice wherever they require in the facility. The Horizon4G DAS can be designed to provide ubiquitous coverage for wireless services and devices throughout the enterprise. Neutral Host Public Safety Coverage & Signal Wireless Edge Horizon4G provides Horizon4G delivers Quality Guarantees Coverage independent connections legacy UHF public safety Wireless coverage and Blanket of RF coverage for Wireless Operators frequencies and supports device signal quality are ensures consistent delivering 2G/3G/4G migration to 700/800 guaranteed throughout “edge” performance of technologies at multiple MHz for first responders. the enterprise, even in RF all wireless devices frequency bands. unfriendly spaces such as including smartphones below ground floors. and Wi-Fi enabled devices.
- 4. Everytime Wireless capacity and system reliability are the final cornerstones of a high-availability wireless solution. With the increased adoption of smartphones, iPads and other Wi-Fi enabled devices, InnerWireless/Black Box Network Services engineers the Horizon4G with the wireless capacity (utilizing planning, monitoring, and tangible upgrade strategies and solutions) to meet the needs of the customer’s wireless client population. Coupled with InnerWireless/Black Box Network Services’s suite of Life Cycle Wireless Professional Services, like WLAN assessment services, enterprises can optimize performance over time maximizing their Horizon4G investment.

- 5. Enterprise Wireless Platform Key Wireless Services The Horizon4G is a highly scalable, indoor, hybrid-fiber-coax DAS solution. As a wide-area only platform, Horizon4G can be designed as a “neutral host” capable of delivering multi-operator 2G/3G/4G technologies (including MIMO) plus public safety, paging and enterprise 2-way radio frequencies. Optional WLAN services can include; Wi-Fi (a/b/g/n MIMO) and Philips medical telemetry (WMTS) for use in healthcare. Guaranteed Coverage & Signal Quality Wireless Assurance InnerWireless/Black Box Network Services has pioneered a rigorous RF engineering process that thoroughly documents the wireless performance characteristics of every Horizon4G DAS. This highly repeatable process has enabled InnerWireless to achieve a 100% 1st time design acceptance on every project. Aided by an extensive database of how virtually every building material attenuates, or blocks RF signal penetration, InnerWireless engineers the wireless coverage and signal quality needed by each wireless device to connect and stay connected. Black Box (NASDAQ: BBOX) is leading communications systems integrator dedicated to designing, sourcing, implementing and maintaining today’s complex communications solutions. Black Box services more than 175,000 clients in approximately 150 countries with approximately 200 offices throughout the world.
- 6. In-building Wireless Capacity Optimizing Service Levels It’s well known that smartphones have materially impacted the wireless operators’ macro cellular networks, and iPads and smartphone Wi-Fi off-loading threaten to have a similar effect on enterprise WLANs. InnerWireless/Black Box Network Services designs the Horizon4G DAS for existing wireless traffic and offers tangible strategies for maintaining the service quality as the customer’s wireless device population grows. For example, InnerWireless’ Wi-Fi “traffic management” solution enables you to proactively manage Wi-Fi service levels, including the service quality needed by latency sensitive and mission/life critical applications. Life Cycle Wireless Services ROI Ask any InnerWireless/Black Box Network Services customer what they value most about their Horizon4G DAS, and you will undoubtedly hear the word “partner.” A partner that offers a complete range of services to maximize the customer’s return- on-investment. Customers can select from a portfolio of Horizon4G Professional Services designed to ensure high-availability wireless per- formance and provide flexible outsourcing options. For example, InnerWireless/Black Box Network Services’ Network Operation Center (NOC) Fault and Alarm monitoring service provides remote 24/7 fault ID and remediation, customer notification and quarterly reports.
