LTE Evolution is an integral part of 5G 5G builds on 4G LTE 5G and 4G LTE work together “5G Network” Complementary Flexibility Coverage and Capacity 4G 5G 5G Radio Access complements LTE-Advanced, and 5G Radio Access is not a standalone technology, provides additional capacity, speed and enriched through multi-connectivity a 5G device can be served capability to enhance existing use cases and enable by various technologies (e.g. LTE and 5G) new ones simultaneously 6

5G shines in new spectrum bands, large bandwidths FCC Initial 5G Spectrum Bands  5G will extend wireless into ultra- Band Bandwidth high bandwidths 28 GHz 850 MHz  mmWave spectrum, 10-100 times higher 37 GHz 1600 MHz frequency than today’s operations 39 GHz 1400 MHz  mmWave bands provides access 64-71 GHz 7 GHz to large amounts of spectrum (unlicensed) 60GHz mmWave antenna  10-100 times wider bandwidths than used today, > multi Gbps data throughput  High frequency enables small antennas  Large antenna arrays enables sophisticated Beamforming/steering which unlocks the efficient use of mmW spectrum for Mobile Systems 7

But when will 5G be here? Standards 5G Standard Study Items 5G Standard Evolution Phase 1 Phase 2 Commercial 5G Phase 1 Launch 5G Phase 2 Launch 4G LTE Evolution to continue in parallel with 5G 2022 2015 2016 2017 2018 2021 2019 2020 Development Phase Maturing Phase Emerging Phase Technology Proof of Standards Compliant Pre-Standard Concepts Deployments Trials/Deployments  Standards based 5G is moving forward  3GPP work started in 2015  Phase 1 standards, with focus on enhanced Mobile Broadband targeted to be completed mid-2018  First deployments typically 12-18 months after standards have been completed 9

5G Use Cases influence the journey  5G is build for flexibility and variety of use cases  We see 5G’s real potential in the mobile internet and consumer space, but 5G also allows us to expand to new services and use cases  Mobile VR and AR, Mobile High Definition video, Ultra-high speed mobile broadband…  5G Use cases will influence the 5G network and service architecture 10

Summary – The journey to 5G has already begun  LTE Evolution drives overall network efficiency  LTE-Advanced and beyond  5G breaks into new spectrum LTE Evolution Spectrum frontiers  mmWave Spectrum  Network Architecture well suited for future use cases and services  Virtualization and Orchestration Densification and Network  Network slicing and Edge Transport Architecture intelligence 11  Network Densification with small
