5BARz
International, developers of the patented 5BARz™ Network Extender, a cellular
network booster unit which beautifully patches holes in carrier’s cellular
networks (extending the reach of high-quality signal coverage via a sleek
little plug and play device), has a last mile mobile connectivity business
model so good that the company has now attracted the attention of
smallcap/microcap focused research firm, SeeThruEquity. BARZ’s proprietary,
carrier-grade 5BARz Network Extender solution helps bring solid data, video and
voice connections to an entire space that has been historically plagued by
coverage gaps too logistically difficult or downright expensive for carriers to
fix.
SeeThruEquity
is noted for their unbiased equity research and so the announcement that they
have initiated coverage on BARZ ($0.235/share), with a price target of
$0.40/share, is great news to both shareholders and savvy investors alike.
SeeThruEquity is approved to get their content into the likes of Thomson One
Analytics (First Call), Capital IQ, and Zacks. With a limited distribution to a
set of opt-in investors and because they do not do any investment banking or
commission-based work, SeeThruEquity is widely perceived to be one of the top,
genuinely independent research shops in the game today.
The 5Barz
Network Extender represents a new paradigm for indoor mobile and limited
coverage areas, and part of the exciting story behind the company’s continually
evolving technology is the ongoing collaboration with a top-five global wireless
carrier announced last year in April. This collaboration saw much fanfare and
attention for the company’s hardware at the Mobile World Congress back in
February and BARZ is all lined up to ship four custom units, designed to meet
specific requirements of this wireless network operator, out for testing by the
third quarter this year. The operator has developed a comprehensive series of
testing protocols for the custom carrier-grade builds based on BARZ’s core
technology and confidence is running high that the relationship will mature to
the point where the 5BARz solution will become a primary staple of this
operator’s network hardware footprint.
The appeal
of a booster node solution like this is immense for carriers, especially
considering how easy it will be to deploy a network-wide implementation. The
ability to ensure seamless connectivity for cellular users with a highly
localized, efficient, standalone device-based methodology starts to make the
age-old problem of poor cellular signal coverage actually look like a growth
market. The small office, home and broader mobile spaces addressed by the 5BARz
Network Extender are vast and the attrition rate alone globally (roughly 3%),
due to poor signal quality, looks to be around a potential $27B market for
BARZ.
Telecoms
are either already beating a path to the company’s door or they haven’t caught
on and soon will be. With a commercial device set to drop in 2015, BARZ is
already hard at work putting together the preliminary intelligence and
connections needed to support their international expansion ambitions. The plan
for BARZ is to target regions globally which have considerable upside for the
technology’s roll out and to create strong local management teams leading an
array of subsidiaries on a per-region basis, as well as to continue winning
over big carriers.
SeeThruEquity
was keen to point out the recent appointments by BARZ to their Board in the
coverage announcement, citing in particular the new CTO, Naresh Sony, a former
CTO for $1.8B market cap mobile technology and patent monetization house,
InderDigital. Also noted by SeeThruEquity was the appointment of Dr. Gil Amelio
to the Chairman slot. Dr. Amelio is a high-profile industry veteran who
previously held the CEO position at sector juggernauts like Apple and National
Semiconductor (acquired by Texas Instruments), as well as serving on the Board
over at AT&T. Some serious firepower for a relatively little company like
BARZ and a very strong signal to markets that these guys mean business.
