UMTS Antenna Configuration Scenario

Proprietary and Confidential

Scenario 1: GSM Untouched

Existing Configuration:
3 dual pol antennas (72 inches); antenna count can be increased 2 lines per antenna; additional lines can be installed 2 TMAs No RET

Proposed Configuration:
Add one new AWS antenna (dual pol) with RET for UMTS (4th antenna) Add two new feeder cables for UMTS and RET cable Add new AWS twin TMA

Proprietary and Confidential

Slide 2

Scenario 1: GSM Untouched (continued)

Pros:
No impact on GSM as the system will be untouched (except for some possible minor movement of one antenna depending on existing arrangement) Easier implementation Azimuth and tilt can be independently adjusted for both GSM and UMTS

Cons:
Additional rent cost for the extra TMA and antenna for UMTS Additional active elements means more points of failure

Scenario 2: RET For All

Existing Configuration:
3 dual pol antennas (72 inches); antenna count can be increased 2 lines per antenna; additional lines can be installed 2 TMAs No RET

Proposed Configuration (1):

Add one new AWS antenna (dual pol) with RET for UMTS (4th antenna) Replaced old PCS antennas with new antennas with RET capability Add two new feeder cables for UMTS and RET cables Replace existing TMAs with twin AWS/PCS TMAs

Proprietary and Confidential

Slide 6

Scenario 2: RET For All (continued)

Pros:
GSM gets newer antennas and RET capability GSM gets new TMAs Azimuth and tilt can be independently adjusted for both GSM and UMTS

Cons:
Cost for replacing GSM antennas and TMAs Additional rent cost for the extra TMA and antenna for UMTS

Scenario 3: I Love Quads

Existing Configuration:
3 dual pol antennas (72 inches); antenna count cannot be increased 2 lines per antenna; additional lines can be installed 2 TMAs No RET

Proposed Configuration:
Replace all antennas with quad pol AWS with RET capability Replace existing TMAs with new AWS/PCS twin TMAs Add two new feeder cables for UMTS and RET cables

Proprietary and Confidential

Slide 10

Scenario 3: I Love Quads (continued)

Pros:
Same antenna count (a plus for zoning, leasing and structural aspects) RET is separate between GSM and UMTS sharing the same quad pol antenna (independent tilt adjusted for GSM and UMTS)

Cons:
Azimuth cannot be independently adjusted for the antenna where GSM and UMTS is located

Existing Configuration:
2 quad pol antennas (72 inches); antenna count cannot be increased 4 lines per antenna (no additional lines can be added) 2 TMAs No RET

Proposed Configuration:
Replace all existing antennas with quad pol AWS with RET capability Replace existing TMAs with new AWS/PCS twin TMAs Combine GSM TRXs to free up 2 feeder cables for UMTS (ensure even combining of GSM TRXs)

Note: This scenario is applicable also for existing configuration using dual pol antennas and no new lines can be added

Proprietary and Confidential

Slide 14

Scenario 4: No Room To Grow (continued)

Pros:
UMTS can be deployed on the site New antennas for GSM New TMAs for GSM Independent tilt and azimuth adjustment for both GSM and UMTS

Cons:
Additional loss in GSM (due to combining) Increased cost to offset additional loss due to combining if MCPAs are used Loss of space diversity in GSM

Existing Configuration:

Proposed Configuration:
Replace all existing antennas with dual pol AWS with RET capability Replace existing TMAs with new Diplexer/TMA unit Diplex GSM and UMTS to fit into 2 lines

Proprietary and Confidential

Slide 18

Scenario 5: Two Few Lines (continued)

Pros:
UMTS can be deployed on the site New antenna for GSM New TMA for GSM Diplexing option is cheaper than MCPA

Cons:
Additional loss in GSM and UMTS (due to diplexing but lower than combining) Possible intermodulation product at certain frequency pairs Azimuth and tilt cannot be independently adjusted for both GSM and UMTS
