Mobile Broadband Internet Access. Our EV-DO network products allow operators to offer broadband-quality Internet access anywhere in their networks. Users can access EV-DO-based networks through their laptop computers and other mobile devices. Mobile broadband networks offer increased convenience and mobility and wider coverage than wireless local area technologies such as Wi-Fi. In addition, in some developing markets, EV-DO networks are being used as a wireless alternative to DSL or cable to provide last-mile broadband Internet access. Our products have been used to deploy these services in Eastern Europe and Latin America

  4.   For Applicable Products, Ericsson shall issue Software licenses (sub-licenses) only after requesting associated license from Airvana’s licensing server. In the event that Ericsson is unable to obtain licenses from Airvana’s licensing server for any reason, Ericsson may issue Software licenses (sub-licenses) without obtaining an associated license from Airvana. In such case, Ericsson shall notify Airvana in writing with the details of all licenses (sub-licenses) issued within; (i) [**] business days of issuance of any such license (sub-license) or (ii) monthly as part of the royalty reporting process should Airvana’s licensing server repeatedly fail to respond.

For greater certainty there will be no fee associated with any temporary use by customers including but not limited to (i) customer verification, (ii) customer trials, and (iii) evaluating and testing the product. For greater certainty, there are no fees associated with existing operator labs regardless of the quantity of product deployed.
