Fiber To The Home & Fixed Wireless/Mobile Access

This blog was launched on October 1, 2008, and is maintained by me, Neal Lachman. I invite iUHBA team members to contribute and share their knowledge and vision. This blog is intended to publicize our involvement in the Fiber To The Home and Broadband Wireless Access industries. The average number of readers has grown to approximately between 150 and 250 whenever we post a new article.  

The majority of the content herein is in reference to our company, iUHBA Networks, our efforts, our research, and our vision.

The mission of iUHBA is to lead the world in next-generation digital communications by providing the world’s first participation network with true-broadband connectivity and a triple-bottom-line business strategy of sustainable profitability, social value and environmental benefit.

• iUHBA’s motto is “more value and better services for less money.”

iUHBA is a pioneering next-generation digital infrastructure company that has invested more than 90,000 man-hours (since 2000) in research, planning, design and engineering of high-speed broadband wireless access infrastructures (BWA) and ultra-high-speed/ultra-high-capacity optical-fiber systems that connect homes and offices (FTTH/O) to optical-fiber infrastructures. iUHBA’s efforts ultimately resulted in the FiberBroadband Strategy.

iUHBA will gain ownership of the two vital elements of the telecommunications industry by building and operating 100 Mbps BWA and 1 Gbps Fiber-To-The-Home/office infrastructures (speeds are per user).

iUHBA’s team members are widely recognized as true pioneers and experts in the Fiber-To-The-Home and Broadband Wireless Access industry. While the communications industry declined further and deeper into a slump in 2000, we invested millions of dollars worth in research and development. Since 2000, we worked on developing the FiberBroadband strategy, which includes the technical as well as both the business and financial aspects of building and operating end-to-end Optical-Fiber and Wireless infrastructures.

UHBA Networks USA (UHBA US), owns the FiberBroadband Strategy license for the United States, with the mandate to create broadband communications networks to serve a minimum of 20 million wireless and mobile subscribers, and to realize 20 million FTTH/O connections (homes and offices) in the USA.

iUHBA’s most amazing finding may well be the fact that its roll-out strategy reduces the upfront investment requirement, i.e., the actual amount needed to realize its infrastructure projects in the USA, from $40Billion to $1.5Billion. This will be achieved because at a certain point (around $1.5B) the company’s cash-flow turns positive and further (monthly roll-outs/CAPEX) investments will be paid from retained earnings.

Besides operating these networks itself, iUHBA also intends to seek out companies to partner up with like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft and even perceived competitors such as T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless that have an existing wireless infrastructure, or companies such as Virgin Mobile and Earthlink/SK Telecom’s Helio: operators that have no proprietary or large infrastructures in place but want to reach customers on their devices via iUHBA’s high-speed wireless infrastructure e.g., for wireless service, mobile search, web browsing and mobile videoconferencing.

iUHBA may make its ultra-high-speed FTTH/O systems available to companies like Comcast, Charter Communications, Time Warner, AT&T, and independent VoIP (voice–over-Internet-protocol) or CLEC service providers; companies that could provide a particular service or bundle of services over iUHBA’s infrastructure.

iUHBA is building its high-speed wireless (Broadband Wireless/Mobile Access) infrastructure and its ultra-high-bandwidth FTTH/O infrastructure to provide a bundle of five new or improved services to end-users. But iUHBA’s open network approach will allow the company to create a co-opetition opportunity for other companies. In the case of co-opetition, iUHBA will share in revenues of the competition on top of charging them an “access fee” to utilize iUHBA’s infrastructure. The subscriber will thus have the choice to subscribe to iUHBA’s innovative quintuple bundle of services, or pick one, two, or three services from one or more providers.
