The future - WiMAX

Page 13: Annual Financial Results 30 June 2005. Unwired: leading the world Leading wireless broadband carrier: Successful launch and brand established from August

Wireless broadband future: WiMAX

• Wireless broadband growth accelerating because of need for simplicity, portability, and continuing move towards mobile phones away from traditional home phone. Now 18 million mobiles in Australia compared to 10 million landlines

• WiMAX will change the way people access data – moving it from a shared to personal device

• WiMAX will deliver high speed data communications across wide distances

• Benefits: mobility, global roaming, high speed access, and cheaper for companies to rollout networks

• Momentum building – Intel, Disney, Samsung, Nokia, Microsoft, Sprint and British Telecom. Ratified as standard late 2005

• WiMAX ‘modems’ built into laptops planned for 2007 – PDAs to follow. PC cards, desktop modems, and phone lines eventually redundant for people in WiMAX areas

Page 14: Annual Financial Results 30 June 2005. Unwired: leading the world Leading wireless broadband carrier: Successful launch and brand established from August

Intel/Unwired to accelerate WiMAX deployment

• Intel to invest $37million in Unwired. In return it receives 82.2 million convertible notes with 45 cent conversion price

• This investment means we can fast track our network rollout and launch the Unwired service in more Australian cities in 2006

• Both companies have also agreed to jointly promote wireless broadband capabilities using WiMAX networks in Australia

• Unwired will adopt future Intel products that support the upcoming IEEE 802.16e for WiMAX solutions which will be found in both infrastructure equipment and notebooks

Page 15: Annual Financial Results 30 June 2005. Unwired: leading the world Leading wireless broadband carrier: Successful launch and brand established from August

Unwired’s WiMAX advantage

• Unwired/Austar best placed locally to transition to WiMAX

• Unwired in unique position of having access to majority of WiMAX designated 3.5/2.3GHz bands in metropolitan Australia

1. Ability to obtain Navini base stations and CPEs that operate on current proprietary technology but can be easily upgraded to WiMAX in the future

2. With large amount of capacity we have we can operate existing proprietary technology and WiMAX based services concurrently – no disruption to existing customers

3. Special combiner technology from Navini means we can operate 2 base stations from same antenna – one proprietary, one WiMAX
