Prologue
When we presented our vision on
Connected Stadiums to Eredivisie Media &
Marketing CV (EMM) in September last
year, we had no idea that this would lead to
this challenging competition, in a league
with leading players in ICT and telecom.
Only six months earlier we teamed up with
our current strategic partners, which com-
bine all the technologies needed to meet
the requirements for high-density WiFi and
applications. As a benefit of this early
partnership, we had our first successes at
Extrema Outdoor in Eindhoven and
Uitmarkt in Amsterdam.
This RFP gave us a unique opportunity to
strengthen our partnership with Tele2,
Event Engineers, Xaton, Alcadis and Ruckus
Wireless. Together we are looking forward
to put the challenges of Connected
Stadiums into practice.

Management Summary
Due to a growing interest from club managers in the opportunities
of online and Wireless developments, EMM started a thorough pro-
cedure to explore the options of implementing a robust and stable
WiFi infrastructure. EMM developed four scenarios to determine
the critical cost drivers. From a basic scenario with free internet to
a high-end scenario for on demand video streaming. At the same
time the management of EMM recognizes that a positive business
case is crucial to get this up and running. Therefore, we also focus
on potential revenue channels that will come within the reach of
participating clubs.
Based on our analysis we estimate a potential revenue stream
between 2 and 7.5 million Euros for 10 clubs, our benchmark, for
the scenarios with streaming video. We are, of course, prepared
to support the clubs with a controllable phased role out. As poten-
tial revenue streams from the intended liberalization of the law on
gambling are disregarded, the potential revenue outlook seems
conservative to us.
At the same time we propose a technical solution - based on the
accumulated expertise from Tele2, Ruckus Wireless, Xaton, Alcadis
and Event Engineers - with significant lower costs than the poten-
tial revenue stream. Portable WiFi might be a way to cope with pro-
motion and relegation of clubs. For the infrastructure in the most
likely scenario 2, the running costs per season for our benchmark
of 10 clubs comes to a total of 2 million Euros.
Our technical solution is based on a WAN structure that includes all
participating clubs, linked via the optic fiber network of Tele2 and
controlled from a central Datacenter. The in-stadium LAN struc-
ture includes a sufficient amount of access points (APs) and all the
hardware needed to meet the requirements in the RFP. Our partner
Xaton, acclaimed for the award-winning Ziggo TV App, developed
a state-of-the-art mobile App to support streaming video and all
additional services. On top of this very solid case, Tele2 is prepared
to carry the investments and to sponsor a significant part of the
costs.

Introduction
Although thorough knowledge of the WiFi technology is precondi-
tional for this RFP, we strongly believe that the success of
Connected Stadiums will much more depend on a good under-
standing of the underlying business case. Therefore, we start with
an outlook of the potential revenue streams, based on research,
our own marketing expertise and interviews with allied marketing-
and (social) media specialists.
Our solution is the result of the joint efforts of this very enthusiastic
consortium and our mutual expertise of the required technologies.
Tele2 with a thorough knowledge of information technology and
telecommunications, Xaton with its expertise on video streaming,
content management systems and award-winning mobile App-
development,
Event Engineers with its extensive experience in implementing WiFi
for festivals, Alcadis with its excellent support on measurements
and network design and finally Ruckus Wireless, frontrunner and
undisputed WiFi-pioneer on a global scale.
After having extensively explained the potential revenue channels
and having compared this with the total costs per scenario, we
will lead you through the technical solution. Portable WiFi can be
considered to cope with promotion and relegation of clubs. We will
take into account that club managers are more interested in out-
lines than in technical details. Our various specialists will be happy
to respond on any question about the applied technology.
Our tremendous confidence in this proposal, will become apparent
in the epilogue. Tele2 is willing to commit its reputation, to finance
the investments needed and lastly to sponsor a considerable part
of the costs.

Business case
Our mutual challenge is to balance the costs for the required in-
frastructure and the expected additional revenue streams. Invest-
ments are needed to enhance the quality and overall experience
of visiting an Eredivisie match. The additional revenue streams for
clubs will only follow after the investments have been made. We
and our allied partners are able and ready to support the clubs with
a controllable phased role out.
We will not try to estimate the potential revenues from the infor-
mally announced liberalization of the law on gambling. We have
high expectations of this development, but for now it is too early
to take these numbers into account. Our business case is based
on potential revenues that are currently within our reach. We have
identified several opportunities; in the chart below we show four
categories and their minimum and maximum potential:
It is mentioned in the RFP that EMM expects at least 10 clubs will
participate in this model if, of course, the business case shows a
positive outcome. Therefore, we have used 10 clubs as a bench-
mark. We estimate the potential revenue stream for the above
mentioned categories at 2 million Euros per season as a minimum,
with an upside to 7.5 million Euros in an optimistic scenario for 10
clubs. Let us explain our assumptions.
a. Premium Content
In-match video content - such as instant replays and real-time
stats - represents much value for the stadium visitor. An average
of 10 clubs represents a total of 222 thousand stadium visitors per
match. Based on the given penetration figures in scenario 2 (60%
smartphone users of which 50% have premium service), about 67
thousand visitors per match will have access to premium content.
If these premium users pay ¤ 0.49 per match, which is an incredibly
low amount per season, this represents a revenue stream of 555
thousand Euros. As we consider that premium content has a much
higher value and given the fact that penetration of smartphones will
grow significantly, this potential revenue stream can easily grow to
2 million Euros.
b. Subscriptions and lottery tickets
WiFi is an additional sales channel for subscriptions on Eredivisie
Live and lottery tickets from Vriendenloterij on an very narrow tar-
geted audience. Just a relatively small amount of 10 new lottery
players per match, will bring the participating clubs thousand
Euros per season. Each 10 subscriptions represents thousand
Euros (10 x €15 x 12mnd) for our benchmark. A very conservative
assumption from this channel results in 500 thousand and a more
optimistic assumption in 2 million Euros per season for our bench-
mark of 10 clubs.
c. Media related revenues
For 10 clubs we roughly estimate the current revenues from LED-
boarding at 6 million Euros per season. This is based on a rate per
minute of 500 Euros for a small club like Heracles, 800 Euros for a
medium sized club like FC Utrecht, and 1100 Euros for a top club
like PSV. With an additional WiFi channel, the media value for adver-
tising will increase significantly (20 – 30%) due to the substantial
options of on-line sales and promotions. The potential revenue
from this channel can easily be established when current contracts
ends and new concessions are to be negotiated.
Together with revenues from on-line banners, in-match games
and online sponsor concepts, we estimate this potential revenue
stream between 500 thousand and 2 million Euros per season.
d. Merchandising & ticket sales
We estimate the current revenue from this channel at 12 million
Euros for 10 clubs, approximately 5% of their total revenues. A con-
servative growth percentage of 5 points as a result of extra online
sales and promotions, already represents 500 thousand Euros per
season for our benchmark. If we add increased possibilities with
smart promotional activities regarding food & beverage, this can
totally rise to another 2 million Euros income for these 10 clubs.
Apart from the expected revenue stream after liberalization of the
law on gambling, the potential revenue stream for our benchmark
of 10 participating clubs lays between 2 and 7.5 million Euros.
In the next chapter we will show that the overall costs of our solu-
tion fits very well within these outlooks, showing a positive business
case.

Finance
Let’s start with the requirements in the RFP, to have a clear picture
of the different scenarios.
Before disclosing our technical solution in the next chapter, we will
show you rounded figures of the costs per season first.
Scenario 1 seems to us too light to carry this business case. We
consider scenario 3, based on a 100% use of premium content,
unlikely. For us scenario 2 is the most likely one:
Tele2 is prepared to finance all initial investments
and to sponsor a considerable part of the costs.
Based on our outlook for additional revenue streams in the
previous chapter – between 2 and 7.5 million Euros for 10 clubs –
scenario 2 shows a solid business case. To enable club managers
to judge feasibility, the chart below gives an impression about
targets to reach for the break-even scenario with an average club
like FC Utrecht.

Stadium Live
Mobile App
SmartCubesSociety partners with Xaton for enabling a state-of-
the-art smartphone App. A general “Stadium Live” App will be de-
veloped for iOS, Android, WP8 and mobile web. Just like a
Chameleon the App will adjust to the colors of each participating
club or stadium. The App will become a PSV App in the Philips Sta-
dium and a FC Utrecht App in De Galgenwaard. Content delivery is
also stadium specific.
Internet connectivity
Except for scenario 1, usage of the App is required for internet ac-
cess. Visitors with smartphones can only obtain internet access af-
ter installing it. Free internet access and attractive premium content
will be an effective incentive to stimulate and promote App usage.
This will lead to higher sponsor value, a broader audience for com-
mercial or service related messages and more sophisticated user
profiling. For visitors with non-supported devices (old phones, RIM,
etc) an automatic captive login mechanism will grant them access,
without the App. This bypass is also available for supported devices
without the App, but only to access the App-Stores for iOS,
Android and Windows Apps.
Installing the App can be stimulated through smart online promo-
tions, such as cell broadcasting messages or by appealing “how-
to” WebPages, presented automatically when connecting to the
WiFi network and accessible for all WiFi enabled devices.
High usage of the App can be achieved with attractive features
such as:
Match and club statistics
In match highlights
VOD content such as interviews
Ticket sales for upcoming events
Games to be played in the intermission,
possibly with the leader boardpresented
on the big screen in the stadium
Discount coupons, possibly
connected to a loyalty program
Static Stadium information news
Dynamic stadium information, such as
real-time population density graphs.
Club information /news
Shout box, for pushing commercial
or service or safety related messages
Social media connection
E-commerce facilities
for merchandising
In-App purchases
By facilitating the right infrastructure doors are opened for new
ways of engaging the user and create a new, additional channel for
monetizing sponsor means. To enable these new opportunities a
line of attractive in-stadium Apps need to be in place to activate the
visitors. Besides excellent user experience and immaculate
technical performance the Apps need to have sophisticated and
attractive content features and provide added value in information
disposal for the end users.
Captive login is the automatic mechanism where a login screen will
slide up as soon as a friendly network is in range. The captive login
web page can present all kind of information such as checkmark for
accepting the disclaimer and commercial messages.
After accepting the disclaimer or entering for example a user name
and password (not in case of EMM) access is established.
Note, Technical feasibility of some features might depend on secondary
services that are not yet included in our solution.
Splash screens
Sponsoring/branding App
“Free internet sponsored by …”
Pre-rolling advertising
Billboards/messages
synchronized with LED boarding
Targeted banners
Discount coupons
For sponsor exposure
various ways are
thinkable, such as:

Development process
Before starting development the exact feature list and roadmap
will, of course, be determined in close cooperation with the
participating clubs and EMM. Also in close cooperation, a detailed
interaction design will be developed. User experience, ease-of-use
and sponsor integration will have a central position at the
interaction design process.
The content is managed by an in-Stadium Content Publication
Platform (SCPP). All clubs have a personal login for this centrally
hosted content publication platform. By this personal login the
clubs are able to manage all static and dynamic content related to
their Club/Stadium/match. EMM can manage global content.
The following content types will be manageable through
this SCPP:
Info and news
Graphical assets such as images
(stadium pictures, logo’s) for branding of the App
All types of sponsor exposure, user targeted and time based
Shout box messages
Commercial messages
Besides the static data also the feeds of other systems can be
managed from this system:
Stream management
VOD management
Match statistics management
Ticket sales management
User management
Above the content management tasks the SCPP will have a sec-
tion where the usage of the App (analytics) can be monitored,
including the real-time stream performance statistics. For analytic
purposes Flurry (industry leading tool) will be integrated in the
Apps. The exact list of content types needs to be determined, by
all involved parties, before the start of the development. Since the
SCPP is a highly specific system it will be custom developed.
The App will be able to show the stream and VOD content as it will
be offered by EMM and/or the clubs, ether in unicast and/or in mul-
ticast channels. This proposal assumes that industry standard for-
mats and resolutions will be offered. Integration of DRM solutions
can be embedded in the App.
Through its close relation with Apple Inc., Xaton has obtained
a private developer license. Thanks to this Xaton is the only
App-developer in the Netherlands with enhanced privileges to
develop Apps that automatically connects to
the WiFi network without being activated.
In order to monitor the real-time stream consumption and
performance, the industry-standard Conviva Pulse (http://www.
conviva.com/live-events/) heartbeat-monitoring solution will be
integrated. This will enable real-time performance statistics all the
way down to a single (anonymous) user. It will provide detailed
stream performance reporting, enabling continuous network
improvement during the course of time. License costs for this
product are included in the monthly fee.

Infrastructure
WAN
After a thorough analysis, based on the three site surveys
and the information made available from the stadium draw-
ings, our allied specialists have designed a high performance
global Wide Area Network (WAN). Controlled from a central
Datacenter, 24/7 staffed to provide and guarantee essential
support and services, such as: a content publication plat-
form, user authentication, DHCP-services and management
of the WAN for the participating stadiums. The Datacenter
also includes any required interface with telecom operators
for 3G/4G offloading .
LAN
The firewall and core switch from the in-stadium LAN will be con-
nected to the central Datacenter via a fiber link from Tele2. In most
scenarios a 1 GB link will be sufficient. A local firewall will offload
data traffic directly to the internet. High demanding video streaming
is handled locally, as outlined in the by EMM distributed ‘Combined
Q&A’.
Edge-switches around the stadium will supply the power for the
required amount of APs. These switches are placed in a 10 GB
backbone ring to the core switch. Each switch will be protected
against outdoor conditions by industrial casings. In order to cope
with small glitches in power supply, the core and edge-switches will
have a UPS.
Offload
Our proposal will offload data traffic from existing mobile networks
in two ways:
Please note that SmartCubesSociety is unable to guarantee
congestion free operation of mobile networks - owned by KPN,
Vodafone and T-Mobile - without their respective co-operation.
Ruckus Wireless Access Points
Full coverage and a high performance network in stadium environ-
ments, requires a large number of access points in general. How-
ever, Ruckus Wireless provides unrivaled radio performance and
reliability even in the most dense and challenging environments
using up to 40% less access points. This results in lower cost for
the proposed solution and less esthetical issues. An additional
benefit of less access points is the reduction of co-channel interfer-
ence, a typical problem for high-density environments.
Based upon our site visits, the following numbers of APs are calcu-
lated for different stadiums:
We cannot escape from the use of superlatives to underpin our
choice for Ruckus Wireless. Unlike other suppliers, Ruckus Wireless
is a best-of-breed solution that is absolutely focused on reliability,
robustness and, ease of use of the WiFi network. Ruckus Wireless
builds their APs and controllers from the ground up to deliver in-
credible performance for all clients.
1) User controlled
By providing free internet ac-
cess via WiFi every visitor is able
to offload his traffic from the
mobile network. This will relieve
data congestion in the net-
works of mobile operators.
2) Provider controlled
This solution includes the func-
tionality for mobile operators to
force data traffic to WiFi by (au-
tomatic) authentication on the
SIM credentials of the visitor.
It is up to the different mobile
operators (KPN, T-Mobile and
Vodafone) to implement this
functionality in their respective
networks. The mobile operators
will be charged for this offload
functionality on a user per
game basis.

Heracles 10 10 22 12 36 18 36 18

Lower TCO
Because Ruckus APs cover approximately twice the footprint of
an equivalent you can get full coverage with up to 40% fewer APs.
This reduces the installation cost (number of APs, controller cost,
licensing and support as well as fewer CAT-5 cabling runs and
Ethernet switch ports) and maintenance cost. All of this results in
a lower Total Cost of Ownership with much faster and greater re-
turns on investment.
Unmatched video
Ruckus knows video like no one else and holds several patents on
IP-based streaming video. Ruckus has customers using its solution
to deliver flawless 1080p HDTV to 90 set top boxes in a single facil-
ity. This is simply not possible with any other solution.
Patented adaptive antennas
Ruckus Wireless recently introduced BeamFlex+, an adaptive an-
tenna technology to improve Wireless performance, especially in
multicast networks. With this improved intelligence Ruckus access
points can reach devices with a low transmit power and serve
devices in different positions (upright or laying down) from every
angle.
Automatic interference avoidance
Integrated into every Ruckus WiFi access point is a sophisticated
high-gain antenna array, which constantly focuses and directs WiFi
signals over the best performing paths. This is essential in hostile
RF environments where obstacles, interference and noise wreaks
havoc with Wireless systems.
Advanced WiFi techniques
Besides intelligent APs Ruckus Wireless also provides advanced
techniques to manage the Wireless network. Including: Network
optimization with dynamic channel management, client load bal-
ancing, band steering, airtime fairness, and QoS management.
More detailed documentation on the technical advantages of
Ruckus Wireless can be found in the list of annexes.
High-density challenges
The challenge in high-density environments is to cope with a limited
spectrum at 2.4Ghz and a large number of concurrent users. Inter-
ference between the installed APs and the density of demanding
mobile devices require small cells. In addition to the special features
from Ruckus Wireless sector antennas, a clever use of natural bar-
riers within the network design - such as existing concrete walls -
will also contribute to a solution.
T e c h n i c a l h i g h l i g h t s :
To design the LAN per stadium, we have made several measure-
ments in order to determine the right positioning of the access
points (APs) and cell size, both above and below the stands in the
appointed stadiums. We have measured in an empty stadium,
under conditions with considerable reflection. The advantage of a
full stadium is the absorbing capacity of the human bodies at the
stands. The graph below shows a network design with APs above
and below the stands.
We also conducted spectrum measurements to determine exter-
nal sources of interference from existing WiFi equipment or other
devices, such as radio equipment for security purposes. The graph
on the left shows the interference in Feyenoord stadium De Kuip.
Our networks can cope with this, due to the Interference
avoidance Ruckus Wireless BeamFlex technology. As long as
interference sources comply with the legal standards in The Neth-
erlands, this will not cause problems for our network.
Portable WiFi
Portable WiFi might be a way to cope with promotion and relega-
tion of clubs. Just like portable LED-boarding, the valuable APs can
be shared between different clubs. The only fixed component is
the backbone and possibly some facilities to shorten the mounting
time. The running costs for this concept are very stadium-specific
but if we exclude time-consuming areas from the infrastructure,
this solutions can certainly compete with fixed infrastructures. A
hybrid infrastructure with fixed and portable APs might contribute
to more cost efficiency for clubs with a variable occupancy rate.
Cell Broadcasting
Cell broadcasting technology is not included in this proposal. How-
ever, we do think there are some interesting features to be consid-
ered as an additional channel for safety and promotional services. It
enables to send messages to mobile devices in a geographic de-
fined area like a stadium. Real-time and independent of congestion
in the mobile network, using the same technology as NL-Alert. The
messages can be displayed on an enabled phone or used to feed
an App. Please find more information about this technology from
our partner Mobilicty in the list of Annexes.

High-Density WiFi + Mobile App- Extrema Outdoor
July 14, 2012
Extrema Outdoor, our launching customer, is a popular festival
in Eindhoven with circa 40 thousand visitors. They were the first
Dutch festival with public high-density WiFi for her visitors. We pro-
vided high-density WiFi, combined with a mobile App to enhance
the overall experience of the festival, to offer the visitors access to
social media and to cope with congestion issues with the 3G net-
work. To create a business model for festivals, mobile billboards
for sponsors – for Extrema Bavaria and Solar - are integrated in our
concept as a carrier from the Ruckus Wireless 7762-S APs. The
mobile App was developed by our partner Xaton, with an auto-
matic login feature via Facebook, gathering interesting user profil-
ing. Visitors without the App could login after registering with their
e-mail address.

Epilogue
When Tele2 was invited to tender for this
exciting project we carefully evaluated the
RFP. From that it became obvious that no
single company has all required capabili-
ties in-house to meet both commercial and
technical challenges. In order to deliver a
mind blowing end-user experience, dif-
ferent skill sets are required: content pre-
sentation, WiFi implementation en video
streaming.
By participating in the consortium headed
by SmartCubesSociety, Tele2 is confident
that it’s part of the winning team. Xaton’s
experience in content presentation, Ruckus
Wireless, Alcadis and Event Engineers’
experiencewith dense WiFi environments,
complement Tele2’s video streaming ex-
perience which stems from the period that
Tele2 broadcasted the live football matches
for 3 consecutive seasons from 2006 on-
wards.
Although this offer is a solid foundation for
initial decision making, we realize that a
closer co-operation is required to come to
a successful implementation of Connected
Stadiums. We are confident that together
with our partners, EMM, the clubs and sta-
dium owners, we can meet the commercial
and technical challenges.

Cell Broadcasting by Mobilicity
In addition to this proposal, SmartCubeSociety decides to enclose
an additional service based upon Cell Broadcast Technology by its
partner Mobilicity. This technology might add some interesting fea-
tures to Connected Stadiums for visitors without a WiFi connection.
Mobilicity Service
Mobilicity offers the opportunity to send messages to mobile de-
vices in a geographic defined area. Real-time, and independent
of congestion in the mobile network, using the same technology
as NL-Alert. Implementing dedicated channels for EredivisieLive
on this platform. The messages can be displayed on an enabled
phone or used to feed an App.
There is also a feature to let the message be displayed in the pre-
ferred language of the mobile device user, eg in event of an Euro-
pean match with visiting supporters. Cell Broadcast technology is
an efficient way of sending messages and data to a mobile device
reducing the load of 3G/4G and WiFi; safeguarding data exchange
during peak loads.
Safety
The message feature enables clubs and stadiums to send mes-
sages to supporters in and around the stadium. E.g. for emergency
messaging or logistical and hospitality reasons. Creating extra op-
portunities for better safety and crowd control.
Merchandising
The ability to send ‘real time push messages’ opens a window to
reach visitors without a WiFi connection. These messages can,
e.g., be used for online promotions regarding food & beverage or
merchandising.
Premium Content
Mobilicity can easily and efficiently provide a data stream for a tick-
ertape (integrated in the App) displaying real time updates on the
scores and exiting moments of other games being played; ‘trigger-
ing’ people to watch these videos. Increasing the number of pre-
mium content is being watched.
Considerations
To accept the invitation for considering sponsoring EMM/ Football
Clubs Mobilicity is willing to structure part of the deal on a revenue
sharing model. Mobilicities services are compliant to opt in and opt
out regulations.

ZoneFlex™
7782-N
30 DEGREE NARROW BEAM
SMART WI-FI OUTDOOR AP
The Industry’s Highest Capacity, Highest Performing
Access Point for Extreme, High Density Wi-Fi Deployments
The ZoneFlex 7782-N is the first dual-band 802.11n outdoor access point (AP)
designed explicitly for very high density user environments such as stadiums, arenas,
train stations, convention centers, and major metro areas.
The ZoneFlex 7782-N is the only AP on the market to integrate patented BeamFlex™
technology and chip-based transmit beamforming (TxBF), combining these
technologies with a 30º narrow beam adaptive antenna array to deliver up to 7 dB of
signal-to-interference-plus-noise (SINR) improvement above the antenna gain and up
to 15 dB of interference mitigation. This enables much longer range signals and more
resilient mesh connections that adapt to interference and changing environmental
conditions.
In addition, the ZoneFlex 7782-N uniquely leverages a predictive model for channel
selection (ChannelFly) that uses actual activity to learn what channels will yield the
most capacity to provide the highest client speeds and reduce interference.
Designed for easy installation within an ultra lightweight and low profile enclosure,
the Ruckus ZoneFlex 7782-N is ideal for venue owners looking to quickly and
economically deploy Wi-Fi in high-capacity environments Using a very narrow and
focused beam, the 7782-N APs can be deployed in close proximity, mitigating
co-channel interference. This is critical as high density deployments require a large
number of APs within a fixed space.
The ZoneFlex 7782-N can be centrally managed by the ZoneDirector Smart WLAN
controller or the SmartCell™ Gateway 200 (SCG 200) as part of a unified indoor/
outdoor wireless LAN, deployed as a standalone AP and managed individually, or
through the FlexMaster remote Wi-Fi management system.

SmartCell™
Gateway 200
CARRIER CLASS WLAN CONTROLLER WITH
3GPP WLAN GATEWAY SUPPORT
The Industry’s Most Scalable and Versatile WLAN Platform
The SmartCell Gateway (SCG) 200 represents the first in a new category of
scalable and versatile WLAN controllers with support for 3GPP compatible
WLAN gateway functionality. It has been designed to eliminate the
difficulties operators are experiencing with building and managing large-
scale WLAN networks and integrating them into the mobile packet core.
Awarded the “Best Mobile Broadband Technology” by the GSMA, the
Ruckus SmartCell Gateway 200 is capable of supporting tens of thousands
of Ruckus or non-Ruckus Wi-Fi access points, hundreds of thousands of
subscribers, and in excess of 20 Gbps of throughput. We have extended
the traditional WLAN controller by adding support for 3GPP WLAN
gateway functionality, along with the kind of scale that is required for
carrier class deployments.
The SCG 200 serves both SIM and non SIM-based clients using carrier
friendly authentication protocols, such as 802.1X/EAP (which is standard
on all smartphones). When this is combined with policy-based data traffic
steering, operators can optimize the forwarding of all user traffic. When
backhauling to the mobile packet core, the WLAN gateway implements
the trusted WLAN access approach that was standardized by 3GPP in
Release 11. This work is based on the SaMOG (S2a Mobility over GTP)
program in 3GPP that utilizes 802.1x/EAP for authentication and 802.11i
(AES) for airlink encryption, both of which are standard on today’s
smartphones. The SCG 200 will also support untrusted WLAN access,
which was first standardized in 2006 as part of the I-WLAN program in
3GPP and uses TTG/PDG technology.
The SCG 200 platform features a unique NEBS-3/ETSI compliant,
dynamically scalable clustering model that maintains carrier-class availability
and resiliency through active-active clustering by incorporating a distributed
and replicated database optimized for real-time data management. 
KEY FEATURES/BENEFITS
Scalability
Grow your Wi-Fi network with ease through tens of
thousands of APs, hundreds of thousands of subscribers,
and tens of Gbps of aggregate traffic.
Active/active flat cluster architecture for resiliency
Hot-swappable and redundant hardware level component
architecture combined with the SCG 200’s distributed and
replicated software intelligence ensures highly available
Wi-Fi control, management, and gateway services.
Traffic steering
The SCG 200 supports trusted WLAN access into the
mobile packet core using 802.1x/EAP authentication along
with 802.11i for airlink encryption per 3GPP Release 11.
The SCG can also offload non-mobile traffic directly to
the Internet.
Hotspot 2.0 roaming support
The SCG 200 supports the Wi-Fi Alliance Hotspot 2.0
release 1 specification, which enables mobile devices to
automatically discover and select AP’s for which a roaming
arrangement exists. Hotspot 2.0 also requires that mobile
devices authenticate using 802.1x/EAP with 802.11i for
airlink encryption.
Authentication support
The SCG 200 supports authentication via EAP-SIM,
EAP-AKA, EAP-TLS (x.509) and EAP-TTLS (username
and password). The SCG also supports authentication via
WISPr and captive portal technology.
Support for third-party APs
When the WLAN gateway function is enabled, data
traffic originating from non-Ruckus access points can
be tunneled through the SCG 200 to the mobile packet
core. This creates a single point of control for aggregation,
enabling vendor agnostic policy control enforcement.
Network partitioning and wholesaling
The SCG 200 supports the partitioning of the network
to enable the wholesaling of SSIDs to other operators. It
also supports partitioning of the network within a single
operator to support network administration boundaries.
SmartCell™
Gateway200
CARRIER CLASS WLAN CONTROLLER WITH

Unrivaled Flexibility and Versatility
The SCG 200 provides both WLAN controller and WLAN
gateway functionality integrated into a single compact platform
and managed as a single entity, which reduces the number of
boxes that must be deployed and managed. This approach
accelerates the return on investment and reduces the cost of
on-going operations. The WLAN controller function can also be
split out from the WLAN gateway function and they can run on
separate platforms. The WLAN controller can also interoperate
with WLAN gateways from 3rd party suppliers, which provides
the network operator with a great deal of deployment flexibility.
Highly Scalable WLAN Controller
The SCG 200 can function as a very large-scale WLAN controller
that can manage tens of thousands of Ruckus APs. The SCG
200 provides feature-rich management including control over
their self-organizing smart networking behaviors such as RF
management, load balancing, adaptive meshing, and backhaul
optimization. The SCG 200 also allows operators to dynamically
configure and manage network and subscriber QoS/policy rules,
in addition to being able to authorize, account and bill Wi-Fi
users. The following are some of the capabilities that are enabled
by the WLAN controller function.
Wi-Fi Subscriber Management
Users can access Wi-Fi networks using a wide variety of devices
including smartphones, feature phones, laptops, tablets, digital
cameras, etc. For mobile devices the SCG 200 supports authen-
tication via EAP-SIM or EAP-AKA to the HLR/HSS subscriber
database in the mobile packet core. EAP-SIM is used with 2G
devices and EAP-AKA is used with 3G/LTE devices. Connectivity
to the HLR/HSS can be via the SIGTRAN interface on the SCG
200, or through a AAA server.
For non-mobile devices like laptops and tablets, the SCG 200
can support authentication via EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS. The
former uses x.509 digital certificates and the latter is based on
username and password. The use of digital certificates enables a
seamless authentication experience that is very similar to what is
found in the cellular world.
The SCG 200 also supports traditional captive portal based
login with ability to integrate to either an external or internal
captive portal along with support for automatic portal based
login via WISPr 1.0. This more traditional approach to providing
secure large-scale hotspot deployments includes support for
features such as HTTP proxy capability, and large scale walled
garden rules.
The SmartCell Gateway 200 can support both the WLAN Gateway and WLAN Controller functions running on the same platform at the
same time, or these functions can run on separate platforms for maximum deployment flexibility.

Wi-Fi Subscriber Services
The SCG 200 provides services for traffic that is being handed
off to the Internet. One of the most important services is
subscriber billing. This enables the operator to monetize their
Wi-Fi network using either RADIUS based accounting or 3GPP
standard CDRs in S-CDR or W-CDR formats, which can be
transferred to an external Charging Gateway Function (CGF) via
the Ga interface, with the SCG 200 acting as a charging trigger
function (CTF). The SCG 200 also supports a policy interface via
the 3GPP Gx interface to an external PCRF (policy and charging
rules function).
Wi-Fi Radio Access Management
The SCG 200 supports a variety of radio network control
techniques of which the most important is ChannelFyTM
. This
algorithm allows AP’s to automatically select the appropriate
2.4 and 5GHz channels so as to maximize performance and
minimize interference. When properly deployed, ChannelFly
can double the capacity of a WLAN network in a high-density
environment. The SCG 200 also manages dynamic mesh
deployments that make use of the 5 GHz band to backhaul
AP traffic to a point where wireline facilities are available. Mesh
backhaul configurations can be dynamically reconfigured to
reroute traffic over different paths as conditions change.
Seamless Low-Latency Wi-Fi Handoffs
The SCG 200 supports seamless handoff as subscribers
move from one Wi-Fi AP to another in the coverage area of the
controller. It is not necessary for the user to re-authenticate as
they move about. Their credentials are passed from access point
to access point. Handoffs are performed rapidly and there is no
impact on the application.
Hotspot 2.0 Support
Hotspot 2.0 enables seamless network discovery and selection
along with seamless authentication using 802.1x/EAP. It
represents the future of Wi-Fi roaming and has picked up a
tremendous amount of support from within the wireless industry.
The SCG 200 supports Hotspot 2.0 by enabling Ruckus AP’s
to exchange information with Wi-Fi devices pre-association.
The information that is exchanged includes details on roaming
consortiums that are support by that AP as well as information on
backhaul capacity and loading. The Wi-Fi device then selects the
best available AP and begins the authentication process. Hotspot
2.0 is automatic and requires no user intervention.
3GPP Standard WLAN Gateway
The SCG 200 supports the backhauling of traffic to the mobile
packet core using both trusted and untrusted WLAN access.
The SCG 200 fully supports all applicable 3GPP standards
for WLAN gateways including 3GPP TS 23.402 (6-2012). The
benefits in backhauling traffic include access to the full set of
services that are found in the mobile packet core including billing
(post and pre paid), policy, lawful intercept, content filtering, deep
packet inspection (DPI), parental controls, global roaming, NAT,
firewall, DNS, etc. It also enables operators to have the same
level of control over their Wi-Fi RANs as presently exists for their
3G/4G RANs. The 3GPP backhaul function utilizes GTP (GPRS
Tunneling Protocol) v1/2 tunneling as well as PMIP (Proxy Mobile
IP) based tunneling.
The SCG 200 can authenticate subscribers via WISPr using captive portal technology or with 802.1x/EAP authentication via EAP-SIM,
EAP-AKA, EAP-TLS, and EAP-TTLS. For the first two EAP variants, credentials can be passed to the HLR/HHS using either the SIGTRAN
interface or a AAA server.

Support for 3GPP Trusted WLAN Access
This approach makes use of 802.1x/EAP and 802.11i technology
both of which are standard on mobile devices. 802.1x/EAP
provides for secure authentication using either the SIM and
USIM credentials that are found on most mobile devices.
802.11i provides for Wi-Fi airlink encryption using AES (advanced
encryption standard). The latter is of great importance when
accessing Wi-Fi services in a public hotspot. The trusted WLAN
access approach also gives the mobile operator full visibility and
control over the Wi-Fi RAN. This is very similar to the experience
that operators enjoy with their 3G/4G RANs and includes
capabilities like QoS (quality of service) and policy control.
Support for 3rd Party APs
The SCG 200 unifies user authentication and data traffic
originating from non-Ruckus access points. This enables a
single point where network level vendor agnostic policy controls
can be applied and KPIs (key performance indicators) can be
generated. It also allows operators to uniformly set policies for
traffic steering, such as offloading non-SIM traffic at the SCG
200 and tunneling all other traffic back to the mobile packet core.
It also provides a single point for generating user data records for
statistical analysis and charging.
Operations and Administration (OAM)
Element Management System
With the built-in EMS, the SCG 200 supports rapid deployment
and eliminates the need for separate and expensive management
systems. The built-in EMS provides user-friendly full-fledged
FCAPS support and can be easily integrated with existing
OSS/BSS systems via a variety of interfaces ranging from
traditional SNMP or CLI based interfaces to web programming
friendly secure API based methods (RESTful JSON).
Statistics, KPIs and Reports
The SCG 200’s built-in EMS provides rich near real-time
statistics on subscribers (including client fingerprinting), APs,
SSIDs, backhaul (Mesh), and the SCG 200 cluster itself. Reports
ranging from hours to years can be generated for a variety of
key performance indicators (KPIs) and exported out in multiple
formats. For operators seeking richer information, Ruckus
also provides an (optional) Wi-Fi Analytics appliance for long-
term storage, sophisticated data mining and analysis,
and richer complex reporting, allowing operation teams to
leverage dedicated external reporting systems to generate
complex reports.
The SCG 200 when operating as a WLAN Gateway, backhauls traffic to the mobile packet core using 3GPP trusted wireless LAN access.
This approach enables a true HetNet experience where subscribers get the same services and the same experience regardless of the
radio access technology.

Future Evolution
The SCG has been designed for future technology evolution
without requiring disruptive hardware upgrades. Instead, new
functionality can be added with In-Service Software Upgrades
(ISSU). This software-based upgradable design allows an
operator to deploy an SCG 200 as a Wi-Fi controller (only) and
then later add Wi-Fi gateway support.
Wholesale/MVNO operations
The SCG 200’s fully functional GUI provides concurrent
role-based access control (RBAC) for viewing the Wi-Fi system
resources and performance. With the support of partitioning
for access in a secure manner, the SCG allows Wi-Fi service
providers to wholesale SSIDs to other service operators such as
MVNOs, and to enable MVNO admins to administer and monitor
only the SSIDs over which they have control.
Inspired by real-world experience with
carriers operating some of the world’s
largest Wi-Fi networks, the SCG’s element
management system provides a wealth of
detailed controls, statistics, reporting, and
troubleshooting tools, along with northbound
interface options for integration into carrier
network management systems.
The built-in EMS provides user-friendly full-fledged FCAPS support and can be easily integrated with existing OSS/BSS systems via a
variety of interfaces ranging from traditional SNMP or CLI based interfaces to web programming friendly secure API based methods
(RESTful JSON).

The Ruckus ZD5000 integrates seamlessly with existing switches, firewalls,
authentication servers and other network infrastructure. The ZoneDirector
can be placed within any Layer 2/3 network. All Ruckus ZoneFlex APs (wired
or meshed) then automatically discover the Ruckus ZoneDirector, self config-
ure and become instantly manageable. Ruckus Smart Redundancy ensures
high network availability and is easy to use with automatic synchronization of
configuration and authorized users between ZoneDirectors.
Simple to Manage
Once up and running the ZD5000 automatically manages the ZoneFlex net-
work of APs — automatically adjusting transmit power levels and RF channel
assignments as needed, to avoid interference, prevent adjacent APs from
interfering and enable redundant coverage in the event of an AP failure.
Configuration changes can easily be applied to multiple APs, or the entire
system, simultaneously. A customizable dashboard provides instant access
to a variety of client and network information and events, and a real-time
heat map displays AP locations and signal coverage, as well as your Ruckus
Smart Meshing topology.
ZoneDirector Smart WLAN systems integrate a unique performance utility
from Ruckus called SpeedFlex™
. Ruckus SpeedFlex allows administrators
to locally or remotely determine client Wi-Fi performance over the wireless
LAN. With SpeedFlex, administrators can now better plan, troubleshoot,
monitor and measure WLAN performance, eliminating the need to use
Internet-based speed tools that often provide inaccurate results of the local
Wi-Fi environment.
The ZD 5000 has multiple I/O port
configuration options, is field upgradable and
can be deployed anywhere within a Layer 2/3
network. All ZoneFlex APs are dynamically
discovered and automatically provisioned by

ZD5000 Centralized Enterprise Smart WLAN Controller
The ZD5000 provides
a detail map view that lets
administrators quickly see the Wi-Fi
network topology for all ZoneFlex
Smart Wi-Fi access points.
Simple to Secure
The ZD5000 provides innovative new tech-
niques that simplify and automate Wi-Fi
security. In addition to enterprise-class 802.1X
support and dynamic VLAN assignment
capabilities, the ZD5000 supports a patented
Dynamic Pre-Shared Key (PSK) capability that
streamlines WLAN security.
First-time users plug their computers into the LAN and
specify a URL that directs them to a captive web portal for a
one-time authentication. After successful authentication, the
ZoneDirector automatically configures the client system with
the designated SSID and a dynamically-generated encryp-
tion key. The key is bound to the client, and can be removed
upon expiration when the user or the user’s device is no
longer trusted.
The ZD5000 centralizes authentication and authorization
decisions for all APs, providing secure admission control
across the WLAN. It works with any backend authentica-
tion database such as RADIUS and ActiveDirectory and also
comes with an internal authentication database. Additionally,
clients can be dynamically assigned to a VLAN based on their
RADIUS attributes.
Avoid Interference, Maximize Performance and
Extend Reach with BeamFlex
Ruckus BeamFlex™
, a patented Wi-Fi beam-steering technol-
ogy, ensures predictable performance for multimedia traffic
applications and extends range to eliminate Wi-Fi deadspots.
With ZoneDirector, the value of BeamFlex is extended beyond
a single access point to the system-wide WLAN and smart
wireless meshing.
The ZoneDirector automatically controls the channel assign-
ments and transmit power of all ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi APs.
And with BeamFlex, the ZoneFlex system continuously picks
the best path for every packet, to both clients outside the net-
work and mesh APs inside the network, automatically avoid-
ing interference, to guarantee the highest quality of service.
Smart Mesh Networking Increases Flexibility,
Reduces Costs
Ruckus Smart Mesh Networking enables self-organizing and self-
healing WLAN deployment. It eliminates the need to run Ethernet
cables to every AP, allowing administrators to simply plug in
ZoneFlex APs to any power source and walk away. All configuration
and management is delivered through the ZoneDirector Smart
WLAN controller. APs can also be daisy-chained to mesh APs
to extend the mesh and take advantage of spatial reuse. Smart
meshing uses patented Smart Wi-Fi technology to extend range
and control Wi-Fi signals to minimize inter-nodal hops that
degrade performance and automatically adapt Wi-Fi connections
between nodes to maintain ultra high reliability.
SpeedFlex™
is a
unique wireless
performance test tool
integrated within the
ZoneFlex™
family of
centralized controllers
that measures the
Wi-Fi throughput of
associated wireless
LAN clients.

Capacity per scenario
EMM has developed several scenarios for the connectivity ser-
vices.
The minimum requirement for all scenario’s is to
have basic services like voice and SMS.
To free up all available capacity of the 2G/3G networks for voice
and SMS it is proposed to offload data traffic through Wifi. This can
be achieved through Wifi ‘for free’ as is proposed in scenario 1, or
through the use of an app (scenario 2, 3a and 3b). Therefore we
have included internet traffic of 20% of the stadium visitors in all
scenario’s.
Network management / content publication plat-
form (SCPP)
Both the network management and content publication platform
will be hosted in a central datacenter. The required capacity of the
network connection to the central datacenter is included in the
table below.
Video-on-demand
In scenario 2 and 3b users of the premium service have access to
video-on-demand. Although in the Q&A it has been suggested that
these are available on a local network node, we assume that some
kind of video-server is required. The capacity of the server is bases
upon the numbers in the table below.

  • 2. 2 3 Prologue When we presented our vision on Connected Stadiums to Eredivisie Media & Marketing CV (EMM) in September last year, we had no idea that this would lead to this challenging competition, in a league with leading players in ICT and telecom. Only six months earlier we teamed up with our current strategic partners, which com- bine all the technologies needed to meet the requirements for high-density WiFi and applications. As a benefit of this early partnership, we had our first successes at Extrema Outdoor in Eindhoven and Uitmarkt in Amsterdam. This RFP gave us a unique opportunity to strengthen our partnership with Tele2, Event Engineers, Xaton, Alcadis and Ruckus Wireless. Together we are looking forward to put the challenges of Connected Stadiums into practice. February 15, 2013 Arie Bruin SmartCubesSociety BV

  • 4. 6 7 Management Summary Due to a growing interest from club managers in the opportunities of online and Wireless developments, EMM started a thorough pro- cedure to explore the options of implementing a robust and stable WiFi infrastructure. EMM developed four scenarios to determine the critical cost drivers. From a basic scenario with free internet to a high-end scenario for on demand video streaming. At the same time the management of EMM recognizes that a positive business case is crucial to get this up and running. Therefore, we also focus on potential revenue channels that will come within the reach of participating clubs. Based on our analysis we estimate a potential revenue stream between 2 and 7.5 million Euros for 10 clubs, our benchmark, for the scenarios with streaming video. We are, of course, prepared to support the clubs with a controllable phased role out. As poten- tial revenue streams from the intended liberalization of the law on gambling are disregarded, the potential revenue outlook seems conservative to us. At the same time we propose a technical solution - based on the accumulated expertise from Tele2, Ruckus Wireless, Xaton, Alcadis and Event Engineers - with significant lower costs than the poten- tial revenue stream. Portable WiFi might be a way to cope with pro- motion and relegation of clubs. For the infrastructure in the most likely scenario 2, the running costs per season for our benchmark of 10 clubs comes to a total of 2 million Euros. Our technical solution is based on a WAN structure that includes all participating clubs, linked via the optic fiber network of Tele2 and controlled from a central Datacenter. The in-stadium LAN struc- ture includes a sufficient amount of access points (APs) and all the hardware needed to meet the requirements in the RFP. Our partner Xaton, acclaimed for the award-winning Ziggo TV App, developed a state-of-the-art mobile App to support streaming video and all additional services. On top of this very solid case, Tele2 is prepared to carry the investments and to sponsor a significant part of the costs. Costs per season x ¤1000 Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3a Scenario 3b Total costs for 10 clubs 1.200 2.000 2.800 2.900
  • 5. 8 9 Introduction Although thorough knowledge of the WiFi technology is precondi- tional for this RFP, we strongly believe that the success of Connected Stadiums will much more depend on a good under- standing of the underlying business case. Therefore, we start with an outlook of the potential revenue streams, based on research, our own marketing expertise and interviews with allied marketing- and (social) media specialists. Our solution is the result of the joint efforts of this very enthusiastic consortium and our mutual expertise of the required technologies. Tele2 with a thorough knowledge of information technology and telecommunications, Xaton with its expertise on video streaming, content management systems and award-winning mobile App- development, Event Engineers with its extensive experience in implementing WiFi for festivals, Alcadis with its excellent support on measurements and network design and finally Ruckus Wireless, frontrunner and undisputed WiFi-pioneer on a global scale. After having extensively explained the potential revenue channels and having compared this with the total costs per scenario, we will lead you through the technical solution. Portable WiFi can be considered to cope with promotion and relegation of clubs. We will take into account that club managers are more interested in out- lines than in technical details. Our various specialists will be happy to respond on any question about the applied technology. Our tremendous confidence in this proposal, will become apparent in the epilogue. Tele2 is willing to commit its reputation, to finance the investments needed and lastly to sponsor a considerable part of the costs.

  • 7. 12 13 Business case Our mutual challenge is to balance the costs for the required in- frastructure and the expected additional revenue streams. Invest- ments are needed to enhance the quality and overall experience of visiting an Eredivisie match. The additional revenue streams for clubs will only follow after the investments have been made. We and our allied partners are able and ready to support the clubs with a controllable phased role out. We will not try to estimate the potential revenues from the infor- mally announced liberalization of the law on gambling. We have high expectations of this development, but for now it is too early to take these numbers into account. Our business case is based on potential revenues that are currently within our reach. We have identified several opportunities; in the chart below we show four categories and their minimum and maximum potential: It is mentioned in the RFP that EMM expects at least 10 clubs will participate in this model if, of course, the business case shows a positive outcome. Therefore, we have used 10 clubs as a bench- mark. We estimate the potential revenue stream for the above mentioned categories at 2 million Euros per season as a minimum, with an upside to 7.5 million Euros in an optimistic scenario for 10 clubs. Let us explain our assumptions. a. Premium Content In-match video content - such as instant replays and real-time stats - represents much value for the stadium visitor. An average of 10 clubs represents a total of 222 thousand stadium visitors per match. Based on the given penetration figures in scenario 2 (60% smartphone users of which 50% have premium service), about 67 thousand visitors per match will have access to premium content. If these premium users pay ¤ 0.49 per match, which is an incredibly low amount per season, this represents a revenue stream of 555 thousand Euros. As we consider that premium content has a much higher value and given the fact that penetration of smartphones will grow significantly, this potential revenue stream can easily grow to 2 million Euros. b. Subscriptions and lottery tickets WiFi is an additional sales channel for subscriptions on Eredivisie Live and lottery tickets from Vriendenloterij on an very narrow tar- geted audience. Just a relatively small amount of 10 new lottery players per match, will bring the participating clubs thousand Euros per season. Each 10 subscriptions represents thousand Euros (10 x €15 x 12mnd) for our benchmark. A very conservative assumption from this channel results in 500 thousand and a more optimistic assumption in 2 million Euros per season for our bench- mark of 10 clubs. c. Media related revenues For 10 clubs we roughly estimate the current revenues from LED- boarding at 6 million Euros per season. This is based on a rate per minute of 500 Euros for a small club like Heracles, 800 Euros for a medium sized club like FC Utrecht, and 1100 Euros for a top club like PSV. With an additional WiFi channel, the media value for adver- tising will increase significantly (20 – 30%) due to the substantial options of on-line sales and promotions. The potential revenue from this channel can easily be established when current contracts ends and new concessions are to be negotiated. Together with revenues from on-line banners, in-match games and online sponsor concepts, we estimate this potential revenue stream between 500 thousand and 2 million Euros per season. d. Merchandising & ticket sales We estimate the current revenue from this channel at 12 million Euros for 10 clubs, approximately 5% of their total revenues. A con- servative growth percentage of 5 points as a result of extra online sales and promotions, already represents 500 thousand Euros per season for our benchmark. If we add increased possibilities with smart promotional activities regarding food & beverage, this can totally rise to another 2 million Euros income for these 10 clubs. Apart from the expected revenue stream after liberalization of the law on gambling, the potential revenue stream for our benchmark of 10 participating clubs lays between 2 and 7.5 million Euros. In the next chapter we will show that the overall costs of our solu- tion fits very well within these outlooks, showing a positive business case. Revenue channel per season x ¤1.000 for 10 clubs minimum - maximum a. Media rights > Premium content 500 2.000 b. Upsellling > EredivisieLive / Vriendenloterij 500 1.500 c. Upsellling > media related (LED-boarding, bannering) 500 2.000 d. Merchandising and ticket sales 500 2.000 Sum 2.000 7.500
  • 8. 14 15 Finance Let’s start with the requirements in the RFP, to have a clear picture of the different scenarios. Before disclosing our technical solution in the next chapter, we will show you rounded figures of the costs per season first. Scenario 1 seems to us too light to carry this business case. We consider scenario 3, based on a 100% use of premium content, unlikely. For us scenario 2 is the most likely one: Tele2 is prepared to finance all initial investments and to sponsor a considerable part of the costs. Based on our outlook for additional revenue streams in the previous chapter – between 2 and 7.5 million Euros for 10 clubs – scenario 2 shows a solid business case. To enable club managers to judge feasibility, the chart below gives an impression about targets to reach for the break-even scenario with an average club like FC Utrecht. Tele2 is prepared to finance all initial investments and to sponsor a considerable part of the costs. Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3a Scenario 3b Basic internet access is offered ‘for free’ to all stadium visitors. A part of the visitors has paid access to premium video quality connectivity services. The rest of the visitors get free basic access All stadium visitors have access to premium video quality connectivity services. Visitors can choose one out of maximum 4 multicast channels. All stadium visitors have access to premium video quality connectivity services. Visitors have access to on-demand video. * The economy of scale between 5 and 18 participating clubs is around 20%.

  • 9. 16 17 Stadium Live Mobile App SmartCubesSociety partners with Xaton for enabling a state-of- the-art smartphone App. A general “Stadium Live” App will be de- veloped for iOS, Android, WP8 and mobile web. Just like a Chameleon the App will adjust to the colors of each participating club or stadium. The App will become a PSV App in the Philips Sta- dium and a FC Utrecht App in De Galgenwaard. Content delivery is also stadium specific. Internet connectivity Except for scenario 1, usage of the App is required for internet ac- cess. Visitors with smartphones can only obtain internet access af- ter installing it. Free internet access and attractive premium content will be an effective incentive to stimulate and promote App usage. This will lead to higher sponsor value, a broader audience for com- mercial or service related messages and more sophisticated user profiling. For visitors with non-supported devices (old phones, RIM, etc) an automatic captive login mechanism will grant them access, without the App. This bypass is also available for supported devices without the App, but only to access the App-Stores for iOS, Android and Windows Apps. Installing the App can be stimulated through smart online promo- tions, such as cell broadcasting messages or by appealing “how- to” WebPages, presented automatically when connecting to the WiFi network and accessible for all WiFi enabled devices. High usage of the App can be achieved with attractive features such as: Match and club statistics In match highlights VOD content such as interviews Ticket sales for upcoming events Games to be played in the intermission, possibly with the leader boardpresented on the big screen in the stadium Discount coupons, possibly connected to a loyalty program Static Stadium information news Dynamic stadium information, such as real-time population density graphs. Club information /news Shout box, for pushing commercial or service or safety related messages Social media connection E-commerce facilities for merchandising In-App purchases By facilitating the right infrastructure doors are opened for new ways of engaging the user and create a new, additional channel for monetizing sponsor means. To enable these new opportunities a line of attractive in-stadium Apps need to be in place to activate the visitors. Besides excellent user experience and immaculate technical performance the Apps need to have sophisticated and attractive content features and provide added value in information disposal for the end users. Captive login is the automatic mechanism where a login screen will slide up as soon as a friendly network is in range. The captive login web page can present all kind of information such as checkmark for accepting the disclaimer and commercial messages. After accepting the disclaimer or entering for example a user name and password (not in case of EMM) access is established. Note, Technical feasibility of some features might depend on secondary services that are not yet included in our solution. Splash screens Sponsoring/branding App “Free internet sponsored by …” Pre-rolling advertising Billboards/messages synchronized with LED boarding Targeted banners Discount coupons For sponsor exposure various ways are thinkable, such as: Mobile Marketing & Media Award 2012, won by Xaton
  • 10. 18 19 Development process Before starting development the exact feature list and roadmap will, of course, be determined in close cooperation with the participating clubs and EMM. Also in close cooperation, a detailed interaction design will be developed. User experience, ease-of-use and sponsor integration will have a central position at the interaction design process. The content is managed by an in-Stadium Content Publication Platform (SCPP). All clubs have a personal login for this centrally hosted content publication platform. By this personal login the clubs are able to manage all static and dynamic content related to their Club/Stadium/match. EMM can manage global content. The following content types will be manageable through this SCPP: Info and news Graphical assets such as images (stadium pictures, logo’s) for branding of the App All types of sponsor exposure, user targeted and time based Shout box messages Commercial messages Besides the static data also the feeds of other systems can be managed from this system: Stream management VOD management Match statistics management Ticket sales management User management Above the content management tasks the SCPP will have a sec- tion where the usage of the App (analytics) can be monitored, including the real-time stream performance statistics. For analytic purposes Flurry (industry leading tool) will be integrated in the Apps. The exact list of content types needs to be determined, by all involved parties, before the start of the development. Since the SCPP is a highly specific system it will be custom developed. The App will be able to show the stream and VOD content as it will be offered by EMM and/or the clubs, ether in unicast and/or in mul- ticast channels. This proposal assumes that industry standard for- mats and resolutions will be offered. Integration of DRM solutions can be embedded in the App. Through its close relation with Apple Inc., Xaton has obtained a private developer license. Thanks to this Xaton is the only App-developer in the Netherlands with enhanced privileges to develop Apps that automatically connects to the WiFi network without being activated. In order to monitor the real-time stream consumption and performance, the industry-standard Conviva Pulse (http://www. conviva.com/live-events/) heartbeat-monitoring solution will be integrated. This will enable real-time performance statistics all the way down to a single (anonymous) user. It will provide detailed stream performance reporting, enabling continuous network improvement during the course of time. License costs for this product are included in the monthly fee.
  • 11. 20 21 Infrastructure WAN After a thorough analysis, based on the three site surveys and the information made available from the stadium draw- ings, our allied specialists have designed a high performance global Wide Area Network (WAN). Controlled from a central Datacenter, 24/7 staffed to provide and guarantee essential support and services, such as: a content publication plat- form, user authentication, DHCP-services and management of the WAN for the participating stadiums. The Datacenter also includes any required interface with telecom operators for 3G/4G offloading . LAN The firewall and core switch from the in-stadium LAN will be con- nected to the central Datacenter via a fiber link from Tele2. In most scenarios a 1 GB link will be sufficient. A local firewall will offload data traffic directly to the internet. High demanding video streaming is handled locally, as outlined in the by EMM distributed ‘Combined Q&A’. Edge-switches around the stadium will supply the power for the required amount of APs. These switches are placed in a 10 GB backbone ring to the core switch. Each switch will be protected against outdoor conditions by industrial casings. In order to cope with small glitches in power supply, the core and edge-switches will have a UPS. Offload Our proposal will offload data traffic from existing mobile networks in two ways: Please note that SmartCubesSociety is unable to guarantee congestion free operation of mobile networks - owned by KPN, Vodafone and T-Mobile - without their respective co-operation. Ruckus Wireless Access Points Full coverage and a high performance network in stadium environ- ments, requires a large number of access points in general. How- ever, Ruckus Wireless provides unrivaled radio performance and reliability even in the most dense and challenging environments using up to 40% less access points. This results in lower cost for the proposed solution and less esthetical issues. An additional benefit of less access points is the reduction of co-channel interfer- ence, a typical problem for high-density environments. Based upon our site visits, the following numbers of APs are calcu- lated for different stadiums: We cannot escape from the use of superlatives to underpin our choice for Ruckus Wireless. Unlike other suppliers, Ruckus Wireless is a best-of-breed solution that is absolutely focused on reliability, robustness and, ease of use of the WiFi network. Ruckus Wireless builds their APs and controllers from the ground up to deliver in- credible performance for all clients. 1) User controlled By providing free internet ac- cess via WiFi every visitor is able to offload his traffic from the mobile network. This will relieve data congestion in the net- works of mobile operators. 2) Provider controlled This solution includes the func- tionality for mobile operators to force data traffic to WiFi by (au- tomatic) authentication on the SIM credentials of the visitor. It is up to the different mobile operators (KPN, T-Mobile and Vodafone) to implement this functionality in their respective networks. The mobile operators will be charged for this offload functionality on a user per game basis.

  • 12. 22 23 Lower TCO Because Ruckus APs cover approximately twice the footprint of an equivalent you can get full coverage with up to 40% fewer APs. This reduces the installation cost (number of APs, controller cost, licensing and support as well as fewer CAT-5 cabling runs and Ethernet switch ports) and maintenance cost. All of this results in a lower Total Cost of Ownership with much faster and greater re- turns on investment. Unmatched video Ruckus knows video like no one else and holds several patents on IP-based streaming video. Ruckus has customers using its solution to deliver flawless 1080p HDTV to 90 set top boxes in a single facil- ity. This is simply not possible with any other solution. Patented adaptive antennas Ruckus Wireless recently introduced BeamFlex+, an adaptive an- tenna technology to improve Wireless performance, especially in multicast networks. With this improved intelligence Ruckus access points can reach devices with a low transmit power and serve devices in different positions (upright or laying down) from every angle. Automatic interference avoidance Integrated into every Ruckus WiFi access point is a sophisticated high-gain antenna array, which constantly focuses and directs WiFi signals over the best performing paths. This is essential in hostile RF environments where obstacles, interference and noise wreaks havoc with Wireless systems. Advanced WiFi techniques Besides intelligent APs Ruckus Wireless also provides advanced techniques to manage the Wireless network. Including: Network optimization with dynamic channel management, client load bal- ancing, band steering, airtime fairness, and QoS management. More detailed documentation on the technical advantages of Ruckus Wireless can be found in the list of annexes. High-density challenges The challenge in high-density environments is to cope with a limited spectrum at 2.4Ghz and a large number of concurrent users. Inter- ference between the installed APs and the density of demanding mobile devices require small cells. In addition to the special features from Ruckus Wireless sector antennas, a clever use of natural bar- riers within the network design - such as existing concrete walls - will also contribute to a solution. T e c h n i c a l h i g h l i g h t s : To design the LAN per stadium, we have made several measure- ments in order to determine the right positioning of the access points (APs) and cell size, both above and below the stands in the appointed stadiums. We have measured in an empty stadium, under conditions with considerable reflection. The advantage of a full stadium is the absorbing capacity of the human bodies at the stands. The graph below shows a network design with APs above and below the stands. We also conducted spectrum measurements to determine exter- nal sources of interference from existing WiFi equipment or other devices, such as radio equipment for security purposes. The graph on the left shows the interference in Feyenoord stadium De Kuip. Our networks can cope with this, due to the Interference avoidance Ruckus Wireless BeamFlex technology. As long as interference sources comply with the legal standards in The Neth- erlands, this will not cause problems for our network. Portable WiFi Portable WiFi might be a way to cope with promotion and relega- tion of clubs. Just like portable LED-boarding, the valuable APs can be shared between different clubs. The only fixed component is the backbone and possibly some facilities to shorten the mounting time. The running costs for this concept are very stadium-specific but if we exclude time-consuming areas from the infrastructure, this solutions can certainly compete with fixed infrastructures. A hybrid infrastructure with fixed and portable APs might contribute to more cost efficiency for clubs with a variable occupancy rate. Cell Broadcasting Cell broadcasting technology is not included in this proposal. How- ever, we do think there are some interesting features to be consid- ered as an additional channel for safety and promotional services. It enables to send messages to mobile devices in a geographic de- fined area like a stadium. Real-time and independent of congestion in the mobile network, using the same technology as NL-Alert. The messages can be displayed on an enabled phone or used to feed an App. Please find more information about this technology from our partner Mobilicty in the list of Annexes.

  • 15. 28 29 Epilogue When Tele2 was invited to tender for this exciting project we carefully evaluated the RFP. From that it became obvious that no single company has all required capabili- ties in-house to meet both commercial and technical challenges. In order to deliver a mind blowing end-user experience, dif- ferent skill sets are required: content pre- sentation, WiFi implementation en video streaming. By participating in the consortium headed by SmartCubesSociety, Tele2 is confident that it’s part of the winning team. Xaton’s experience in content presentation, Ruckus Wireless, Alcadis and Event Engineers’ experiencewith dense WiFi environments, complement Tele2’s video streaming ex- perience which stems from the period that Tele2 broadcasted the live football matches for 3 consecutive seasons from 2006 on- wards. Although this offer is a solid foundation for initial decision making, we realize that a closer co-operation is required to come to a successful implementation of Connected Stadiums.

  • 19. 36 37 data sheet SmartCell™ Gateway 200 CARRIER CLASS WLAN CONTROLLER WITH 3GPP WLAN GATEWAY SUPPORT The Industry’s Most Scalable and Versatile WLAN Platform The SmartCell Gateway (SCG) 200 represents the first in a new category of scalable and versatile WLAN controllers with support for 3GPP compatible WLAN gateway functionality. It has been designed to eliminate the difficulties operators are experiencing with building and managing large- scale WLAN networks and integrating them into the mobile packet core. Awarded the “Best Mobile Broadband Technology” by the GSMA, the Ruckus SmartCell Gateway 200 is capable of supporting tens of thousands of Ruckus or non-Ruckus Wi-Fi access points, hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and in excess of 20 Gbps of throughput. We have extended the traditional WLAN controller by adding support for 3GPP WLAN gateway functionality, along with the kind of scale that is required for carrier class deployments. The SCG 200 serves both SIM and non SIM-based clients using carrier friendly authentication protocols, such as 802.1X/EAP (which is standard on all smartphones). When this is combined with policy-based data traffic steering, operators can optimize the forwarding of all user traffic. When backhauling to the mobile packet core, the WLAN gateway implements the trusted WLAN access approach that was standardized by 3GPP in Release 11. This work is based on the SaMOG (S2a Mobility over GTP) program in 3GPP that utilizes 802.1x/EAP for authentication and 802.11i (AES) for airlink encryption, both of which are standard on today’s smartphones. The SCG 200 will also support untrusted WLAN access, which was first standardized in 2006 as part of the I-WLAN program in 3GPP and uses TTG/PDG technology. The SCG 200 platform features a unique NEBS-3/ETSI compliant, dynamically scalable clustering model that maintains carrier-class availability and resiliency through active-active clustering by incorporating a distributed and replicated database optimized for real-time data management.  KEY FEATURES/BENEFITS Scalability Grow your Wi-Fi network with ease through tens of thousands of APs, hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and tens of Gbps of aggregate traffic. Active/active flat cluster architecture for resiliency Hot-swappable and redundant hardware level component architecture combined with the SCG 200’s distributed and replicated software intelligence ensures highly available Wi-Fi control, management, and gateway services. Traffic steering The SCG 200 supports trusted WLAN access into the mobile packet core using 802.1x/EAP authentication along with 802.11i for airlink encryption per 3GPP Release 11. The SCG can also offload non-mobile traffic directly to the Internet. Hotspot 2.0 roaming support The SCG 200 supports the Wi-Fi Alliance Hotspot 2.0 release 1 specification, which enables mobile devices to automatically discover and select AP’s for which a roaming arrangement exists. Hotspot 2.0 also requires that mobile devices authenticate using 802.1x/EAP with 802.11i for airlink encryption. Authentication support The SCG 200 supports authentication via EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA, EAP-TLS (x.509) and EAP-TTLS (username and password). The SCG also supports authentication via WISPr and captive portal technology. Support for third-party APs When the WLAN gateway function is enabled, data traffic originating from non-Ruckus access points can be tunneled through the SCG 200 to the mobile packet core. This creates a single point of control for aggregation, enabling vendor agnostic policy control enforcement. Network partitioning and wholesaling The SCG 200 supports the partitioning of the network to enable the wholesaling of SSIDs to other operators. It also supports partitioning of the network within a single operator to support network administration boundaries. SmartCell™ Gateway200 CARRIER CLASS WLAN CONTROLLER WITH 3GPP WLAN GATEWAY SUPPORT Unrivaled Flexibility and Versatility The SCG 200 provides both WLAN controller and WLAN gateway functionality integrated into a single compact platform and managed as a single entity, which reduces the number of boxes that must be deployed and managed. This approach accelerates the return on investment and reduces the cost of on-going operations. The WLAN controller function can also be split out from the WLAN gateway function and they can run on separate platforms. The WLAN controller can also interoperate with WLAN gateways from 3rd party suppliers, which provides the network operator with a great deal of deployment flexibility. Highly Scalable WLAN Controller The SCG 200 can function as a very large-scale WLAN controller that can manage tens of thousands of Ruckus APs. The SCG 200 provides feature-rich management including control over their self-organizing smart networking behaviors such as RF management, load balancing, adaptive meshing, and backhaul optimization. The SCG 200 also allows operators to dynamically configure and manage network and subscriber QoS/policy rules, in addition to being able to authorize, account and bill Wi-Fi users. The following are some of the capabilities that are enabled by the WLAN controller function. Wi-Fi Subscriber Management Users can access Wi-Fi networks using a wide variety of devices including smartphones, feature phones, laptops, tablets, digital cameras, etc. For mobile devices the SCG 200 supports authen- tication via EAP-SIM or EAP-AKA to the HLR/HSS subscriber database in the mobile packet core. EAP-SIM is used with 2G devices and EAP-AKA is used with 3G/LTE devices. Connectivity to the HLR/HSS can be via the SIGTRAN interface on the SCG 200, or through a AAA server. For non-mobile devices like laptops and tablets, the SCG 200 can support authentication via EAP-TLS or EAP-TTLS. The former uses x.509 digital certificates and the latter is based on username and password. The use of digital certificates enables a seamless authentication experience that is very similar to what is found in the cellular world. The SCG 200 also supports traditional captive portal based login with ability to integrate to either an external or internal captive portal along with support for automatic portal based login via WISPr 1.0. This more traditional approach to providing secure large-scale hotspot deployments includes support for features such as HTTP proxy capability, and large scale walled garden rules. The SmartCell Gateway 200 can support both the WLAN Gateway and WLAN Controller functions running on the same platform at the same time, or these functions can run on separate platforms for maximum deployment flexibility. page 2 3GPP Core L2/L3 Network 3rd Party APs SCG 200 WLAN Gateway GTP Tunnel Local Breakout SCG 200 WLAN Controller L2/L3 Network Internet Ruckus APs
  • 20. 38 39 SmartCell™ Gateway200 CARRIER CLASS WLAN CONTROLLER WITH 3GPP WLAN GATEWAY SUPPORT Wi-Fi Subscriber Services The SCG 200 provides services for traffic that is being handed off to the Internet. One of the most important services is subscriber billing. This enables the operator to monetize their Wi-Fi network using either RADIUS based accounting or 3GPP standard CDRs in S-CDR or W-CDR formats, which can be transferred to an external Charging Gateway Function (CGF) via the Ga interface, with the SCG 200 acting as a charging trigger function (CTF). The SCG 200 also supports a policy interface via the 3GPP Gx interface to an external PCRF (policy and charging rules function). Wi-Fi Radio Access Management The SCG 200 supports a variety of radio network control techniques of which the most important is ChannelFyTM . This algorithm allows AP’s to automatically select the appropriate 2.4 and 5GHz channels so as to maximize performance and minimize interference. When properly deployed, ChannelFly can double the capacity of a WLAN network in a high-density environment. The SCG 200 also manages dynamic mesh deployments that make use of the 5 GHz band to backhaul AP traffic to a point where wireline facilities are available. Mesh backhaul configurations can be dynamically reconfigured to reroute traffic over different paths as conditions change. Seamless Low-Latency Wi-Fi Handoffs The SCG 200 supports seamless handoff as subscribers move from one Wi-Fi AP to another in the coverage area of the controller. It is not necessary for the user to re-authenticate as they move about. Their credentials are passed from access point to access point. Handoffs are performed rapidly and there is no impact on the application. Hotspot 2.0 Support Hotspot 2.0 enables seamless network discovery and selection along with seamless authentication using 802.1x/EAP. It represents the future of Wi-Fi roaming and has picked up a tremendous amount of support from within the wireless industry. The SCG 200 supports Hotspot 2.0 by enabling Ruckus AP’s to exchange information with Wi-Fi devices pre-association. The information that is exchanged includes details on roaming consortiums that are support by that AP as well as information on backhaul capacity and loading. The Wi-Fi device then selects the best available AP and begins the authentication process. Hotspot 2.0 is automatic and requires no user intervention. 3GPP Standard WLAN Gateway The SCG 200 supports the backhauling of traffic to the mobile packet core using both trusted and untrusted WLAN access. The SCG 200 fully supports all applicable 3GPP standards for WLAN gateways including 3GPP TS 23.402 (6-2012). The benefits in backhauling traffic include access to the full set of services that are found in the mobile packet core including billing (post and pre paid), policy, lawful intercept, content filtering, deep packet inspection (DPI), parental controls, global roaming, NAT, firewall, DNS, etc. It also enables operators to have the same level of control over their Wi-Fi RANs as presently exists for their 3G/4G RANs. The 3GPP backhaul function utilizes GTP (GPRS Tunneling Protocol) v1/2 tunneling as well as PMIP (Proxy Mobile IP) based tunneling. The SCG 200 can authenticate subscribers via WISPr using captive portal technology or with 802.1x/EAP authentication via EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA, EAP-TLS, and EAP-TTLS. For the first two EAP variants, credentials can be passed to the HLR/HHS using either the SIGTRAN interface or a AAA server. page 3 CAPTIVE PORTALAAAHLR* Internet SmartCell™ Gateway200 CARRIER CLASS WLAN CONTROLLER WITH 3GPP WLAN GATEWAY SUPPORT Support for 3GPP Trusted WLAN Access This approach makes use of 802.1x/EAP and 802.11i technology both of which are standard on mobile devices. 802.1x/EAP provides for secure authentication using either the SIM and USIM credentials that are found on most mobile devices. 802.11i provides for Wi-Fi airlink encryption using AES (advanced encryption standard). The latter is of great importance when accessing Wi-Fi services in a public hotspot. The trusted WLAN access approach also gives the mobile operator full visibility and control over the Wi-Fi RAN. This is very similar to the experience that operators enjoy with their 3G/4G RANs and includes capabilities like QoS (quality of service) and policy control. Support for 3rd Party APs The SCG 200 unifies user authentication and data traffic originating from non-Ruckus access points. This enables a single point where network level vendor agnostic policy controls can be applied and KPIs (key performance indicators) can be generated. It also allows operators to uniformly set policies for traffic steering, such as offloading non-SIM traffic at the SCG 200 and tunneling all other traffic back to the mobile packet core. It also provides a single point for generating user data records for statistical analysis and charging. Operations and Administration (OAM) Element Management System With the built-in EMS, the SCG 200 supports rapid deployment and eliminates the need for separate and expensive management systems. The built-in EMS provides user-friendly full-fledged FCAPS support and can be easily integrated with existing OSS/BSS systems via a variety of interfaces ranging from traditional SNMP or CLI based interfaces to web programming friendly secure API based methods (RESTful JSON). Statistics, KPIs and Reports The SCG 200’s built-in EMS provides rich near real-time statistics on subscribers (including client fingerprinting), APs, SSIDs, backhaul (Mesh), and the SCG 200 cluster itself. Reports ranging from hours to years can be generated for a variety of key performance indicators (KPIs) and exported out in multiple formats. For operators seeking richer information, Ruckus also provides an (optional) Wi-Fi Analytics appliance for long- term storage, sophisticated data mining and analysis, and richer complex reporting, allowing operation teams to leverage dedicated external reporting systems to generate complex reports. The SCG 200 when operating as a WLAN Gateway, backhauls traffic to the mobile packet core using 3GPP trusted wireless LAN access. This approach enables a true HetNet experience where subscribers get the same services and the same experience regardless of the radio access technology. page 4 Internet SCG 200 WLAN Gateway 3G/LTE RAN Mobile Packet Core SGSN/S-GW (Gn/S5 (Gn/S2a HLR AAA PCRF Charging GGSN P-GW Local Breakout Wi-Fi RAN Client (ue)
  • 21. 40 41 SmartCell™ Gateway200 CARRIER CLASS WLAN CONTROLLER WITH 3GPP WLAN GATEWAY SUPPORT Future Evolution The SCG has been designed for future technology evolution without requiring disruptive hardware upgrades. Instead, new functionality can be added with In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU). This software-based upgradable design allows an operator to deploy an SCG 200 as a Wi-Fi controller (only) and then later add Wi-Fi gateway support. Wholesale/MVNO operations The SCG 200’s fully functional GUI provides concurrent role-based access control (RBAC) for viewing the Wi-Fi system resources and performance. With the support of partitioning for access in a secure manner, the SCG allows Wi-Fi service providers to wholesale SSIDs to other service operators such as MVNOs, and to enable MVNO admins to administer and monitor only the SSIDs over which they have control. Inspired by real-world experience with carriers operating some of the world’s largest Wi-Fi networks, the SCG’s element management system provides a wealth of detailed controls, statistics, reporting, and troubleshooting tools, along with northbound interface options for integration into carrier network management systems. The built-in EMS provides user-friendly full-fledged FCAPS support and can be easily integrated with existing OSS/BSS systems via a variety of interfaces ranging from traditional SNMP or CLI based interfaces to web programming friendly secure API based methods (RESTful JSON). page 5 SCG-200 SCG-200 SCG Cluster SNMP CLI Web GUI Web-Services Usage Stats Ruckus Analytics System 10+ options: RESTful JSON / XML SQL (JDBC) File formatters (FTP) Custom Service & Subscriber CtrlAdministrationConfig, Stats & Alarms NMS Administration Portal Provisioning BI / Data Warehouse Ruckus Wireless, Inc. 350 West Java Drive Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA (650) 265-4200 Ph (408) 738-2065 Fx www.ruckuswireless.com Copyright ©2012, Ruckus Wireless, Inc.

  • 23. 44 45 ZD5000 Centralized Enterprise Smart WLAN Controller The ZD5000 provides a detail map view that lets administrators quickly see the Wi-Fi network topology for all ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi access points. Simple to Secure The ZD5000 provides innovative new tech- niques that simplify and automate Wi-Fi security. In addition to enterprise-class 802.1X support and dynamic VLAN assignment capabilities, the ZD5000 supports a patented Dynamic Pre-Shared Key (PSK) capability that streamlines WLAN security. First-time users plug their computers into the LAN and specify a URL that directs them to a captive web portal for a one-time authentication. After successful authentication, the ZoneDirector automatically configures the client system with the designated SSID and a dynamically-generated encryp- tion key. The key is bound to the client, and can be removed upon expiration when the user or the user’s device is no longer trusted. The ZD5000 centralizes authentication and authorization decisions for all APs, providing secure admission control across the WLAN. It works with any backend authentica- tion database such as RADIUS and ActiveDirectory and also comes with an internal authentication database. Additionally, clients can be dynamically assigned to a VLAN based on their RADIUS attributes. Avoid Interference, Maximize Performance and Extend Reach with BeamFlex Ruckus BeamFlex™ , a patented Wi-Fi beam-steering technol- ogy, ensures predictable performance for multimedia traffic applications and extends range to eliminate Wi-Fi deadspots. With ZoneDirector, the value of BeamFlex is extended beyond a single access point to the system-wide WLAN and smart wireless meshing. The ZoneDirector automatically controls the channel assign- ments and transmit power of all ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi APs. And with BeamFlex, the ZoneFlex system continuously picks the best path for every packet, to both clients outside the net- work and mesh APs inside the network, automatically avoid- ing interference, to guarantee the highest quality of service. Smart Mesh Networking Increases Flexibility, Reduces Costs Ruckus Smart Mesh Networking enables self-organizing and self- healing WLAN deployment. It eliminates the need to run Ethernet cables to every AP, allowing administrators to simply plug in ZoneFlex APs to any power source and walk away. All configuration and management is delivered through the ZoneDirector Smart WLAN controller. APs can also be daisy-chained to mesh APs to extend the mesh and take advantage of spatial reuse. Smart meshing uses patented Smart Wi-Fi technology to extend range and control Wi-Fi signals to minimize inter-nodal hops that degrade performance and automatically adapt Wi-Fi connections between nodes to maintain ultra high reliability. SpeedFlex™ is a unique wireless performance test tool integrated within the ZoneFlex™ family of centralized controllers that measures the Wi-Fi throughput of associated wireless LAN clients.

The minimum requirement for all scenario’s is to have basic services like voice and SMS. To free up all available capacity of the 2G/3G networks for voice and SMS it is proposed to offload data traffic through Wifi. This can be achieved through Wifi ‘for free’ as is proposed in scenario 1, or through the use of an app (scenario 2, 3a and 3b). Therefore we have included internet traffic of 20% of the stadium visitors in all scenario’s. Network management / content publication plat- form (SCPP) Both the network management and content publication platform will be hosted in a central datacenter. The required capacity of the network connection to the central datacenter is included in the table below. Video-on-demand In scenario 2 and 3b users of the premium service have access to video-on-demand. Although in the Q&A it has been suggested that these are available on a local network node, we assume that some kind of video-server is required. The capacity of the server is bases upon the numbers in the table below. Scenario 1 Scenario 2 Scenario 3a Scenario 3b Internet traffic from visitors to internet 20% of vistors 150 Kbps 20% of vistors 150 Kbps 20% of vistors 150 Kbps 20% of vistors 150 Kbps Capacity (to the internet) - Feijenoord - PSV - Heracles 1.498 Mbps 1.030 Mbps 250 Mbps 1.498 Mbps 1.030 Mbps 250 Mbps 1.498 Mbps 1.030 Mbps 250 Mbps 1.498 Mbps 1.030 Mbps 250 Mbps Capacity (to datacenter) - Feijenoord - PSV - Heracles 10 Mbps 10 Mpbs 10 Mpbs 100 Mbps 100 Mpbs 100 Mbps 100 Mbps 100 Mbps 100 Mbps 100 Mbps 100 Mbps 100 Mbps Video-on-demand from local video-server 24% of visitors Multicast 48% of visitors Capacity (# of streams) - Feijenoord - PSV - Heracles 12.785 8.790 2.125 25.570 17.580 4.250
