The Light Grid: a RevolutionaryInnovation in Photonics Design…

Introducing - LightSpeed Wireless™

Developing High Bandwidth Rural Connectivity


Unique Photonics Long Distance Wireless Source

Wafer scale chips can be fabricated at <$1 per chip which has enough power to go >10kms with a 10Gbps single channel wireless data backhaul link

Simple telescope lens collimates

Spreading of invisible beam becomes weather tolerant and eye safe


This is OptiPulse

• Mission: build a much higher speed infrastructure using our technology’s disruptive capabilities, to deliver very affordable access to as many under-served people as possible while making the common network stronger and faster.

• Situation: Early prototypes and chip modules have been completed and sold to strategic entities. Next generation prototype, Prototype 3, in final assemblyand testing.

• Global Benefit: Decentralize and distribute commercial potential to the public through expanded and enhanced tele-medicine, tele-education, job training, and IoT applications for Rural communities.

• Investors: Partners Plateau Telecommunications and Sacred Wind help provide high speed access for Rural connectivity in NM and expanding access for underdeveloped regions locally and across the globe.

LightSpeed Wireless™ will Change Communications

New Photonics Arrays Prove High Power at Low Cost

Smart City Broadband in an Urban Environment


Our Solution for the Next Generation

• 5G is Coming: it is necessary, demand already out paces 4G.• What is 5G: “G” = Generation, 5G brings greater speed (move more data), lowers latency

(more responsive), and connects more devices at once (sensors and smart devices).• 1G was Analog, • 2G was 1st digital (CDMA, GSM…), • 3G moved digital from Kbps to Mbps,• 4G is incompatible with 3G, moved speeds up to Gbps (LTE, WiMAX,..)

• 5G Wireless: possible in only two ways, OptiPulse LightSpeed Wireless™ and mmWavewireless. OptiPulse has a very low CSWaP (Cost ,Size , Weight and Power) Photonics technology; Major telecoms mmWave is more expensive per device, and uses more energy.

• 5G Devices: will require a large manufacturing base, Ericsson forecasts IoT devices will grow by 5 times from 700 million in June 2018 to 3.5 billion in 2023.

• Opportunity: a 5G infrastructure will make rural communities immediately attractive to industrial automation, autonomous vehicle, IoT and other manufacturing companies.

OptiPulse can make the US first in 5G Mesh Network


Future models of a Node will have multiple connections in the mesh network including direct last miles links

Backhaul will be developed at 25 Gbps per channel with multiplexing up to 100 Gbps

Wireless Networks within 1,000 ft. of Node can access 1Gbps within homes and offices by logging into OptiPulse enabled wireless network on their devices

Satellite Broadband Infrastructure at a Glance

Source: Electronic Communications Committee Report 280, Satellite Solutions for 5G, May 2018

Commercial Geosynchronous Satellites

16

GEO satellites provide broadband service across CONUS, comparable to terrestrial alternatives

• Services are available to households and businesses in all 50 states, and offerings include up to 100 megabits per second (Mbps).

• Approximately 2 million customers subscribe at reasonable rates to speeds that meet the FCC’s definition of broadband service– Growth of 5% since 2016

• Geostationary satellites have rapidly increased throughput, from 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) in 2008, to 260 Gbps today, to 1000 Gbps expected by the end of the decade.

• Critical to disaster relief efforts; 95% of cell sites in Puerto Rico and 77% in the Virgin Islands were wiped out after Hurricane Irma

High Throughput Satellites allow for frequency reuse

This technology is ideal for IoT, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Autonomous Driving, and Vehicular Collision Avoidance Systems. Aer Wireless™ offers truly unlimited data, the fastest download speeds and superior reliability in any environment.

CURRENT ENVIRONMENTWhat is available now?

LIMITED ACCESS55M (17%) of U.S Households lack access to

broadband with 25Mbps or better as defined by the FCC. Many in rural areas have no access at all.

SLOW SPEEDSCurrent infrastructure is prone to signal degradation

which affects upload and download speeds. This canbe due to coverage issues, distance & traffic.

RELIABILITYUsers have experienced a considerable increase in data

problems on tablets and mobile broadband devices. Data problem incidences are relatively high in urban areas.*

Carriers are unable to deliver access,reliability and an affordable customerexperience. The current solutions forbroadband are costly and complex.

MagiNet™

The overall network formed by the hardware and firmware of Mage, that seamlessly uses wireless and wired connections to create wireless coverage over, under, and around any sized area without degradation in speed or consistency.

MagiLink™

The proprietary firmware at the heart of MagiNet™.

Developed by Dr. Sayed-Amr

”Sisso” El-Hamamsy.

MagiNode™

The wireless unit consisting of commercial off-the-shelf hardware flashed with MagiLink™. MagiNodes™ form the Data Pipelines, connect houses and buildings to the MagiNet™ and act as relays.

MagiPoint™

A specialized type of MagiNode™ containing two wireless devices. One device provides WiFi access and the other connects to the MagiNet™.

SUMMARY COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGIESRather than being fixed on network speed alone, wireless networks must be evaluated on

5 Core criteria:

• Capacity: the total amount of data a network can handle. Higher is better.• Coverage: the ability to establish connections to devices in a given area. More is better.• Range: the maximum distance where a connection can be made. Further is better.• Deployability: the time and skill level needed to deploy the network. Less is better.• Usability: the amount of configuration and ongoing maintenance needed. Less is better.

TRADITIONAL NETWORK AER WIRELESS™ NETWORK

CAPACITY

Max. 150 Mbps, divided among 3 sectors, since the spectrum interference is limiting. Declines rapidly with distance from the tower.

Limited only by number of Data Pipelines initiating from a single point. This depends on topography only, as Aer Wireless™ can follow any route. Adaptable and scalable with usage.

COVERAGE High hills, towers or buildings are needed as mounting areas. Obstacles, valleys and foliage cause issues.

Ability to access behind and around obstacles; bypasses dense foliage; can reach 100% ofusers.

RANGE Limited by signal degradation. No degradation for Data Pipeline. 20 kilometers have been tested without degradation.

DEPLOYABILITY

Permits needed for tower construction, professionals needed to wire, install and test equipment. 12 – 18 months needed to deploy average network.

Low skill to install simple mounting kits on any type of building. Can connect to any type of input (internet). Can connect to any kind of client/receiving, including an Ethernet (cable network). 2 – 5 weeks to deployaverage network.

USABILITYSkilled trades-people and network managers are needed to maintain, track, and repair.

Very basic, low-skilled labor needed to maintain network. Speed and data usage can be monitoredremotely.

Aer Wireless utilizes exclusive, proprietary Wi-Fi mesh technology that means superior coverage, reliability, and fast deployment at a much lower cost.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION


• There are about 3 Billion unserved/underserved people in the world

• There are about 50 Million households in the US and Canada

• At $80/month/sub $4 B/month

Why is Mage Networks Here?


“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” – Arthur C. Clarke

Why Mage?


• Use power and height to achieve range and coverage

• Coverage gaps still exist• More towers at increasing costs• Licensed spectrum limited and expensive

• Fiber is never going to be ubiquitous or mobile.

Infrastructure Networks Fight Physics
