Business Case for Operators

The Challenge

In-building wireless coverage is one of the biggest challenges facing mobile operators today and with mobile data use increasing along with the introduction of LTE it is essential that a cost-effective solution is deployed quickly and efficiently.
Operators are reporting that 90-95% of data sessions originate inside buildings and mobile data traffic is growing 10 times faster than the revenue generated from it. The higher frequency allocations issued by the regulators coupled with the modern building materials used, such as metallised glass, means that penetration of a building by the macro network is impractical. In addition the increased data use allied to poor coverage is creating inefficiencies and bottlenecks in the backhaul network along with overload in the macro network. It is clear in-building wireless (IBW) coverage must form part of an operator’s strategy to support LTE.

The business case for IBW

Strong RoI and Increased ARPU

In addition to increasing mobile data use, mobile operators are also driven by a need to access new revenue streams, increase Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and generate a return on their spectrum investment. They look to IBW to provide the solution in a number of ways:

  • Differentiation from the competition through improved Quality of Service
  • Improved coverage increases ARPU by enable ubiquitous and consistent wireless use
  • Reduce churn
  • Bring in new customers due to improved coverage
  • Drive additional enterprise user revenues through improved Quality of Experience
  • Business users deliver up to 30% of revenue with 120% higher ARPU
  • Reliably deliver higher frequency 4G services indoors and maximise spectrum investment
  • Access high margin mobile data revenue
  • Improved efficiency of the cellular network by delivering high modulation rates to mobile data users
