DocuSign Envelope ID:A8E51 BF8-6EBC-4632-A21 F-FE02EF5B133D <br /> openbroadband <br /> Project Summary Information <br /> The technology used will be a hybrid of fiber and fixed-wireless. It consists of the following <br /> components: <br /> • Data Center with multi-carrier BGP routed internet upstream bandwidth. <br /> • A leased point-to-point fiber circuit from the data center to the water tower site in <br /> Hillsborough(to be negotiated) <br /> • Fixed Wireless antennas operating in various frequencies, including 24 GHz and I IGhz <br /> for backhaul and 5 GHz and below for customer connections. This includes the licensed <br /> 3.5-3.7GHz spectrum used by LTE/CBRS and the upcoming release of the CBRS <br /> spectrum, and selected use of 2.4Ghz where applicable. <br /> • Select use of fiber loops where clusters of homes/businesses make it economically viable <br /> ((C <br /> Internet <br /> Multiple Carriers Tower Location <br /> Leased Fiber Circuit(s) r� <br /> r—. <br /> Community 3 <br /> Community 2 Fiber loops <br /> where feasible <br /> Community 1 <br /> We use a hybrid network design as we've found it to be the most cost effective, fastest to install <br /> technology that results in the fastest broadband speeds and lowest cost to consumers. Fiber alone <br /> often does not make economic sense in rural areas due to the high cost of installation and having <br /> to pass every property on the route. Wireless alone can have limitations on bandwidth and <br /> network expansion. A hybrid approach takes the best of each technology,using fiber for high <br /> bandwidth to the data center and community clusters, while using last mile fixed-wireless to <br /> quickly turn up just those users who subscribe to the service. <br /> Service Availability <br /> Our network is designed with the following specifications: <br /> • Data Center: SSAE 16 compliant, PCI DSS compliant, and HIPAA compliant. The data <br /> center is staffed 24x7x365 and has a 99.999%network uptime guarantee. <br /> Open Broadband,LLC I PO Box 723.Waxhaw,NC 28173 1 704-237-0102 <br /> www.openbb.net <br />
