2 BUSINESS S Real Estate MANAGE MULTIPLE CLIENTS AND PROPERTIES SIMULTANEOUSLY. Mobile Office You serve on the board of Realtors for a midsize metropolitan market that wants to boost residential property sales. To do this, you propose the creation of a local, centralized multiple listing service (MLS) database, maintained and paid for by member agents. As soon as a member agent lists a new property, members and nonmembers can view the listing online, free of charge. To increase its membership and exposure to new area listings, your board wants to develop a new mobile listing service for its agents that delivers property information in real time. For a nominal fee, this MLS would deliver new listings, including contact information and availability, directly to agents smartphones, based on their specific profile options. + Implement short messaging services (SMS) from BSA provider 2sms, with service on the Verizon Wireless network, to send group multimedia text messages to multiple wireless devices simultaneously on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule. + Your board adds value to existing agents memberships and gives nonmember agents an incentive to join by offering remote access to up-to-the-minute MLS information through their smartphones and other mobile devices, improving agents ability to serve their clients. + The service also helps agents handle multiple clients simultaneously. An agent can wirelessly send property listings to one client, while physically showing a property to another. + Both sellers and buyers in your area benefit from this service. Sellers properties receive increased exposure, while buyers can access the MLS themselves to find information about a property or work with an agent who uses the services. KEEP TABS ON PROPERTY ACCESS REMOTELY. Monitoring and Control You re the head of a governing association for an upscale condominium property. You ve scheduled renovations to the property that will be completed over an 18-month period. To finish the project on time, the master contractor and its staff need unsupervised access to the property at any time. You want a system that gives the contractor access while ensuring the safety and security of the property and its residents. + Implement a bundled, wireless remote monitoring system using a Cisco 3G wireless router and Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband Router Plan to connect and communicate. The monitoring system consists of a wireless keycard for access and wireless IP video surveillance, with cameras activating each time someone swipes a keycard. 2

3 BUSINESS S Real Estate + Set up a VPN for direct access to the association network, which helps increase security and reliability. + Connect directly to the Verizon Wireless network through the Verizon Wireless Private Network service. + Your contractor and construction workers access the property as needed, helping to keep the project on schedule. + Wireless video surveillance and keycard access help you keep tabs on those who access the property, which helps maintain safety and security. + You get improved latency from a direct connection through the Verizon Wireless Private Network service. RESPOND MORE QUICKLY TO SALES LEADS. Mobile Lead Generation Real-estate clients expect agents to be prompt and responsive, or they move on. Your large real-estate franchise wants to retain potential buyers by making your agents more responsive and following up on more leads. Currently, you use a lead-distribution system that delivers individual leads via to multiple agents and grants ownership of the lead to the first agent to respond. You want the lead-generation system to allow agents to guide the lead throughout the entire sales process, from the initial inquiry to property close. + Add Nice Office from eagency and service on the Verizon Wireless network to manage your sales-lead distribution system. Nice Office, along with its Mobile Viewer, integrates with Microsoft Office Outlook and synchronizes with its , contacts, calendar and tasks functions, which helps agents plan and keep track of their daily sales activities. + Use a BlackBerry to help agents keep track of sales and lead activities by workflows and status levels, and elevate your agents ability to keep in touch with new and existing buyers. + The new lead-generation system lets your agents be more responsive to buyers needs. Now, whenever a lead is distributed, agents receive the details on their smartphones or mobile devices, so they can act quickly. + When a potential buyer calls about a specific property, your agents can wirelessly access details to answer questions and schedule a viewing, all without returning to the office. + If a potential buyer decides to make an offer while viewing a property, the agent can create an offer letter onsite, speeding up the paperwork process. 3

4 BUSINESS S Real Estate MANAGE YOUR EQUIPMENT REMOTELY. Smart Metering Your property management company uses an energy management system (EMS) to centrally control energy-consuming equipment for all its buildings. The EMS allows your operators to remotely monitor and control heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting in buildings from their computers. You want to integrate your recent acquisition of five new properties into your company s EMS operations. However, these buildings are not currently configured for remote EMS control. + Use a wireless, plug-and-play smart meter and control application running on Verizon Wireless Telemetry Service to gather energy-consumption data and other types of equipment information for analysis and control. + Deploy notebooks with Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband Built-In or smartphones that connect to the EMS over the Verizon Wireless network. + Your facility managers can gather EMS data from a centralized location using smartphones or notebooks. Managers can connect to and view multiple locations simultaneously, making it easier to manage the entire operation. + Smart metering automatically tracks energy-consumption data over the Internet and can adjust settings to save energy without needing human input. It can also notify your facility managers via delivered to smartphones or notebooks whenever there s a spike in consumption. + The EMS deployment helps you control costs by gaining control over each building s energy usage, making it easier to adjust usage on the fly. + Your facility managers and staff can respond more rapidly to operational events. They can actively monitor each building s situation, reconfigure equipment as needed and see the results of their actions immediately. GIVE AGENTS SECURE, RELIABLE ACCESS TO THE INFORMATION THEY NEED. Mobile Broadband As a commercial real-estate company for a major metropolitan area, your company specializes in working with many of the country s leading institutional real-estate investors. For these types of clients, your agents require accurate information about new and existing investment properties available in the area. You use a proprietary property analysis tool that generates customized reports tailored to client needs.
