How do we help

the next 150 more conservative

operators of all sizes roll out their own

networks in 2015?

Network rollout and evolution challenges

Business impact

More site visits (truck rolls)

Can’t  meet project volumes

Lost accountability

Higher project costs

Project delays

Impaired quality

Small Cell Rollout Case Study

Major US-NA Converged CSP

y Operational in circa 6 months y 2,000+ projects running parallel y 100+ users in parallel y Significant reduction in effort y Deployment time accelerated

y Major saving for automotive efficiencies expected over 5 years

y Agility & low TCO enabling ongoing process improvements

Results Achieved

Business Drivers

● Small cell process needed to scale x10 & x3 times faster

● 35% manual steps ● Lack of partner coordination on

joint project plan ● Scattered processes & tools

● High TCO & lack of agility ● High cost of fallout, delays,

errors & re-work ● High data inaccuracy ● Simple change in process,

model or interface impacts many systems

Macro rollout process does not scale for high volume small cells

Delivering  real  business  value…
