`
`“lfa customer wants PCS (personal communications services) or GSM (Global System for Mobile
`communications) down the road, we’re willing to interconnect," he said.
`
`RAM Mobile Data plans to offer its interactive paging through resellers, affording them fast time to market
`with service offerings that compete with two-way paging without the need to deploy a new network,
`Boudris said.
`
`
`
`
`Editorial Report: Public Safety,
`Critical Communications — UK/EU
`
`“Our resellers will be primarily paging companies; we have talked to five of the top 10 paging companies,”
`Boudris said. "We are under nondisclosure agreements with companies that may resell our product."
`
`WHITE PAPERS
`
`The suggested retail price for RAMfirst is a monthly charge of $29 for local air time, which would include
`200 messages of up to 500 characters. SkyTeI's monthly air time charge is only $20, but it includesjust 100
`messages of up to 80 characters each, Boudris said. RAMfirst also has suggested a monthly nationwide
`paging air time rate of $33, which also includes 200 messages of up to 500 characters.
`
`At an initial suggested retail price of $650, the Research in Motion |nter@ctive Pager to be used with
`RAMfirst costs too much right now to be sold outright to consumers, she said. Consequently, RAM’s
`suggested pricing plan calls for a monthly lease price of $14, a dollar less than the rental price charged by
`SkyTel. Research in Motion also is supplying an |nter@ctive pager to ConectUS Wireless Communications of
`Thousand Oakes, Calif. ConectUS is offering messaging service via the Ardis two-way data network.
`
`Because of a batten] saving protocol in the pager, it offers two weeks of “always on" battery life, Lenahan
`said. By year end, a new Intel chip will extend that "always on” battery life to six weeks.
`
`The pager is expected to be available commercially in April. In May, the New York metropolitan area
`coverage should be completed and have resellers under contract. In September, the resellers are scheduled
`to launch the offering.
`
`To enable a New York City area deployment, RAM Mobile is adding 60 base stations to increase in-building
`penetration by 50 percent, Lenahan said. Nationwide, the company now has 1,200 base stations. It needs
`4,000 nationwide to offer "the equivalent of one-way paging," he said. In three years, RAM hopes to have
`that number up and operational. Additionally, a new software product RAM is developing with Ericsson Inc.
`should boost the "ears" and the radius of each base station substantially, and is expected to be available by
`year’s end, he said.
`
`Also by the end of this year, RAM hopes to have adequate coverage for its new service in nine other
`metropolitan areas: Washington, D.C./Baltimore; Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Atlanta, Los
`Angeles and San Francisco. Next year, it hopes to fill in its coverage in 11 other metropolitan areas. By the
`end of 1999, the company plans to build out the remaining 266 ofthe 316 metropolitan statistical areas in
`which it has spectrum.
