We service major carriers, including ATT, Sprint and Verizon, as well as OEMs, cable and satellite TV providers, and major enterprise cus- tomers like universities and professional sports venues. Goodman differentiates itself from its competitors by having the ability to build the tower but also having the back-end network engineers to put traffic on that tower and then optimize how that traffic flows back through the network. Goodman has a truly unique capability with its staff of high-end net- work engineers who have built the major networks that are in place today. We also have over 2,500 field service technicians across the country which gives us the capability and scale to accomplish com- plex installation projects on a large scale, including small cell and DAS installa- tions. WW: Why are you here at CTIA this year? RH: We've been at CTIA for the past 10 years, so we're familiar faces at this very important forum for the future of our industry. We're here to meet with our current customers and to be part of the ecosystem of the next generation of com- munications. We want to be part of those discussions about our future and how Goodman's technology and expertise will enable carriers to satisfy ever- increasing demand and capacity require- ments. WW: How do you see that future? RH: There are some major things we're going to see as the industry evolves. Wireless will continue to grow, but not at the same rate as we've witnessed in prior years as the major carriers are nearing completion of their 4G LTE build out. With that said, there will still be a need for capacity adds to accommodate the need for more advanced video streaming and IoT applications. People want to be able to watch full-length movies on their phones or in their cars. We need to be able to provide that kind of capacity any- where, anytime, without disruption. Goodman is postured to take advantage of this movement in the marketplace. Goodman Networks (Cont'd. from p. 1) WW: And what is Goodman's role in that the evolving marketplace? RH: Goodman partners with carriers and OEM's to add network capacity. We pro- vide site acquisition services, tower engi- neering and construction, and network engineering. We also provide RF engi- neering and optimization services, which maximize wireless coverage and network performance so that our customers can provide their end users with the best quality and customer experience on their networks. I am very pleased that Goodman expanded its portfolio in recent years to allow us to have the expertise and capability to catapult the company into the micro/small cell and DAS arena as well. Capacity is going to be critical to our future. Spectrum is going to be incredibly important. Questions like who owns the spectrum and what is the band signal that they have will have serious ramifications on each of the carriers' ability to deter- mine their go to market strategy. As car- riers acquire a greater share of the spec- trum, that gives them the ability to better manage throughput, upload and down- load speed, and overall capacity expan- sion. WW: Tell us how your company adds value in the current business environ- ment. RH: It's going to be a very competitive marketplace, with more consolidation, possibly with the carriers and most cer- tainly with the companies that are pro- viding services to the carriers. Goodman Networks is unique in that we already have the scale and the end-to- end capabilities to help our customers position themselves securely in this very competitive environment. We have the technology, expertise and manpow- er to help our customers as mobile net- works continue to evolve and eventual- ly transition to all IP. Goodman will continue to be on the forefront of the transition in the marketplace as it part- ners with its customers to create out of the box solutions that solve the world's network needs.
