Street Level Rooftop Revenue Model
Given its prime real estate
locations and established backhaul network, Towerstream is an ideal partner for carriers once small cell deployments begin accelerating in the second half 2014.
Wi-Fi antenna (~4 per roof) Small cell antenna (TWER can provide backhaul) Microwave backhaul radio (connects to TWER fixed wireless network) Wall cabinet (in-building)
Four Principal Revenue Sources:
• Wi-Fi Access - Hotspot 2.0 enables unlimited number of customers
• Co-Location - Small cell antenna rent (BYOD – tenant brings their own equipment)
• Backhaul - for small cell antenna already installed for Wi-Fi offload • Power and other related
