  2. HFGW FTS Proposal Executive Summary Concept: HFGW FTS to enable a dramatic improvement in telecommunication bandwidth usage efficiencies

  3. (60,120) (60,-150) Large HFGW Transmitter Ground Stations (-30,30) (-30,-60) What do we plan to do? Part 1: build 4 HFGW ground stations Part 2: develop MEMS HFGW Receivers for cell phones

  4. What are the benefits? • Part 1: Search Space Improvement • Part 2: Phase Noise Reduction • Part 3: Frequency Reference Improvement

  5. What is the value?Net Present Value Estimation • Cash Flow Positive on Year 4 - four years from mature, lab proven technology • Net Present Value estimate based on 10 years of operation: $ 51.5 Billion

  9. What will it cost?What is the payback? How much will it cost? • To fund detection and generation experiments (Phase 1 & 2) for proof of concept: Plans and Specifications 4 Million Fabrication 6 Million Test 5 Million Cushion 5 Million Proof of Concept Phase 20 Million (for both experiments) • HFGW FTS Infrastructure Development, Phase 3: Development of HFGW FTS receivers for cell phone use 25 Million Manufacture of cell phone HFGW FTS receivers 25 Million Four stations @ 25 Million each 100 Million • Total Developmental Cost (Phases 1,2,& 3) 170 Million How much and how will it pay back? Licensing and Technical Support: 5% of 50 Billion in 10 years or 2.5 Billion

  11. What is the value?Improvement Value Estimation • For search space improvements we choose 25%. • For higher density phase encoding due to phase noise improvement, we choose 200%. • For frequency-based improvements, we choose 25% for an overall raw capacity improvement floor of 250%. • For better beam-forming due to precision positioning, we choose not to include this technology in the low side estimate since it is somewhat speculative. For the high side estimate 50% is used. • For cell-handoff and precision Quality of Service (QoS) improvements due to precision timing, we choose an overall value improvement of 200%. Here, we apply the term QoS to network usage prioritization and predictability with respect to performance parameters including delay, error rate, and throughput. • Even as a floor, we significantly reduce these expected low-side improvements prior to further use in our dollar valuation model to reinforce its conservative nature.

  12. What is the value?Subscriber Value Estimation • Applying these multipliers to a conventional High Bit Rate Wireless Market Offer (conservatively—for this model—priced at $100/month/2Mbps), we obtain a reference MRC/subscriber low-side value added due to the HFGW FTS of $275 (Table 2). • Note that MRC = Monthly Recurring Charge. This includes a 25% $/mbps discount from conventional costs due to supply increase and demand elasticity. • Further, in all significant cash flows (post year 2), we utilize a still more conservative estimate ranging from ~75-15% of this reference value.

  13. What will make it happen?Suggested Next Steps • First Step – Design, develop, fund, and perform HFGW detection experiments to detect background (relic) GW radiation to prove detection technology. • One example approach: Li, Baker, & Chen, 2007 • Second Step – Design, develop, fund, and perform HFGW generation experiments to generate GW radiation in a laboratory environment. • One example approach: Woods & Baker, 2005 • Use previously proven detection approach • Near Term Development – Develop and miniaturize HFGW technology for use in the FTS application. • Long Term Follow-on – Develop HFGW technology for use as a communication medium.

  14. Early Technology Adoptersfor HFGW Frequency Time StandardsG.V. Stephenson, 28 Oct 2006

  15. Some Options for the Early Adoption of Frequency Time Standard HFGW Technology • Supplemental FTS to Improve Navigational Systems • A central reference HFGW transmitter could be built • HFGW Receivers could be placed on each GPS satellite • The result would be a reduction in FTS errors of GPS • Supplemental FTS for High Speed Network Improvement • Very high speed networks require GPS conditioned FTS to maximize transmission rates • The use of higher accuracy HFGW FTS would allow even higher bandwidth data rates by allowing more accurate frame sync • The Ultimate in Survivable Strategic Communication • Strategic com does not require high bandwidths • Low bandwidth communications could be achieved by buried first generation HFGW devices • Buried transmitters and receivers would be impossible to destroy
