Broadband Choices
* Business grade cable broadband service pricing range based on speeds and reliability.
** Range based upon bandwidth allocation
¹ Speeds represents Business Digital Cable throughputs; prices expressed as business rate plans that increase based on speed and reliability.
² True network diversity cannot be obtained with landlines as both landlines typically utilize the same conduit in the first 2,000 feet from a building.
³ Accel’s technology enables wireless to perform 99.9% Link Availability at the following Link Speeds:
Type Download Upload Latency*
4G (LTE) 6mbps 2 mbps < 150ms
3G (RevA) 750kbps 250 kbps < 250ms

Version 1.3
The Accel Difference
The “99.9% SLA”
• Accel’s technology enables wireless to perform 99.9% Link Availability
• Link Speeds:
Service Type Download Upload Latency*
4G (LTE) 6 mbps 2 mbps < 150ms
The Technology
• Accel’s proprietary technology differentiators provided through the Cloud is enabled by:
1. The Client = the dual array, multi-directional antenna serves as the remote client
2. Software = iMaestro patented, cloud based software provides 3 key capabilities
Optimization
• dynamic filters monitor the RF link and reduce harmful noise by 99%
• continuously scans and adjusts the critical carrier to noise ratio (C/N).
Visibility
• iMaestro continuously monitors the link via six key metrics in two minute increments
• Patented Accel Link Score combines numerous RF metrics into a single actionable measurement
Control
• The platform serves as an enterprise management tool to view the links and assets across the portfolio
* Latency can occur in portions of the network subsequent to the delivery of the data from the wireless link. Data traffic can be sent from a device at a customer data center or headquarters to a networked device
behind the modem. Therefore, Accel Networks excludes the following areas that are beyond its control: (a) the general Internet portion of the traffic path (Layer 3) or (b) the circuit/link from Accel Network’s core
network to the customer’s Layer 2 network. Accordingly, Accel’s latency calculation is determined by sending traffic from a PC directly connected to the Accel modem to an authorized site as follows:
1. For Layer 3 (or public IP address) sites, traffic will be sent using an Internet browser to www.speedtest.net, which provides latency in milliseconds in addition to download and upload speed.
2. For Layer 2 (or private IP address sites), ping traffic will be sent using a DOS window to an Accel core router.

Version 1.3
Enhanced LTE Performance
* A 100 site sample was performed where the speeds for LTE upload, download and latency speeds were captured. The information was stratified by the link score. Latency can occur in portions
of the network subsequent to the delivery of the data from the wireless link. Data traffic can be sent from a device at a customer data center or headquarters to a networked device behind the
modem. Therefore, Accel Networks excludes the following areas that are beyond its control: (a) the general Internet portion of the traffic path (Layer 3) or (b) the circuit/link from Accel Network’s
core network to the customer’s Layer 2 network. Accordingly, Accel’s latency calculation is determined by sending traffic from a PC directly connected to the Accel modem to an authorized site as
follows:
a. For Layer 3 (or public IP address) sites, traffic will be sent using an Internet browser to www.speedtest.net, which provides latency in milliseconds in addition to download and upload speed.
b. For Layer 2 (or private IP address sites), ping traffic will be sent using a DOS window to an Accel Network’s core router.

The iMaestro System is the Key to Fast, Stable LTE Links¹
The Accel Link Score which
is a measure of the
optimization of the
Carrier/Noise (C/N) ratio
closely correlates to data
rates and latency, and
hence user experience.
iMaestro uses the Accel
Link Score to correlate 8 RF
variables to continuously
optimize links ensuring
reliable, fast links*.

Radio Frequency Assessment
Site Pre-qualification
• Objective is to determine whether coverage
exists at site and which type (e.g. LTE)
• Database query performed to determine
feasibility of installation
• Indicates whether coverage for different
carriers/networks exists in a given zip code
(e.g. AT&T HSPA+ = Yes, AT&T LTE = No)
• Qualitative information about coverage not
considered
• No Radio Frequency Analysis (RFA) Engineer
assigned
Radio Frequency Analysis
• Objective is to determine whether RF environment
supportive of SLA and determine best carrier fit
• Coverage analysis performed by RFA Engineer via virtual
site walk
• Primary RF Information gathered from tools provided by
Carriers
• Assess qualitative RF information RF for each carrier by
assessing non-carrier tools (e.g. mapping software)
• Analysis aids in the provisioning of equipment and
whether indoor or outdoor installation recommended

10
Version 1.1
iMaestro Management Platform
The iMaestro system allows Accel and its customers the ability to view RF metrics on a real-time basis. The iMaestro
antenna provides not only connectivity but also a management solution that allows Accel to manage the overall RF
experience of its customers, resulting in better performance and the reduction of the trouble resolution time.

11
Version 1.1
iMaestro Management Platform (cont.)
The Accel Link Score Analysis (LSA) is a patented algorithm that is based upon the analysis of millions of data sets
collected from thousands of sites. The Link Score closely correlates to actual customer data rates, latency and link
availability, giving customers a clear indication of the performance of its network.

12
Version 1.1
iMaestro Management Platform (cont.)
The iMaestro system utilizes a combination of dynamic filters and Low Noise Amplifiers (“LNAs”) in the remote
antenna to continuously optimize the critical C/N ratio as directed by the central server, based upon eight metrics
collected from the remote site in two-minute intervals.
