Neal Lachman’s Summary

- iUHBA Networks, Inc. is organizing Tech/Media/Telecom Investor Seminars (Rotterdam, November; London, Dec; NYC, Jan; HK, Feb; Mumbai, March).

- mUHBA Holding is launching a small (€2.5M) fundraising effort to pay for a unique and pioneering Proof of Working Concept Project in Ontario County, NY, during which we will prove 100 Mbps data transfer rates on a 4G wireless network, accessible to 400 test users. (See slideshare)

- I attracted legendary movie actor Rutger Hauer as an early investor and major supporter of iUHBA Networks, Inc.

- Over the years, I have been portrayed in hundreds of interviews in leading media of several countries.

- I have invested 9.5 years and millions of dollars worth of engineering, planning and development in the ICT industry, resulting in the FiberBroadband Strategy (for FTTH/O & BWA), to be implemented by my flagship investee company, iUHBA Networks.

- I killed city-wide Wi-Fi dreams of many hopefuls after launching a devastating research paper (July 2007) in which we exposed flaws in Wi-Fi development models. Now we are going to show how it should be done.

- I developed the PROSPER strategy, a new M&A model for struggling public companies willing to merge with private companies with large projects and great potential.

- I co-authored Private Placement Memoranda and Prospectuses for multi-billion dollar funds; 3c7 funds (Qualified Purchasers) as well as 3c1 funds.

iUHBA Networks, Inc.

(Telecommunications industry)

February 2009 — Present (10 months)

Official acronym: iUHBA
Full name: International Ultra-High-Bandwidth Access Networks
Phonetic spelling: Ayoohba
Meaning: Ayoohba/Ayooba/Ajooba means “miracle/ miraculous” in Arabic/Urdu language.

Our name, iUHBA, describes more appropriately the core of our business; we prefer to use the term UHBA (Ultra-High-Bandwidth Access) over NGN or NGA (Next Generation Networks/Access).

Chairman, President & CEO

mUHBA Nederland Holding B.V.

(Telecommunications industry)

Chairman & CEO

Lachman & Malik Capital Partners, LLC

(Venture Capital & Private Equity industry)

2007 — Present (2 years )

I co-founded Lachman & Malik Capital Partners, LLC. with my brilliant business partner, Farooq Malik. His four Master Degrees makes him the brains (I guess my looks make me the beauty then) of the firm.

We had big ambitions in 2007, but the subprime mortgage mess and the financial world collapse didn't really help. Better times are ahead: L&M is currently finalizing the blueprints of a $1.5B fund that will benefit the Next Gen Telecom industry. But first, L&M is adding some big names to its Sr. Partners roster.
Founder & Executive Director

Next Generation Development & Infrastructures Consortium

(Telecommunications industry)

February 2003 — Present (6 years 10 months)

Was launched in May 2003 as the 21st Century Infrastructures Consortium. Relaunched recently.

At 21st CIC I introduced an alternative to the telecom industry's standard xPON solution for Fiber-To-The-Home infrastructures. Passive Optical Networks are not future-proof. For example, it is impossible (or too expensive) to build infrastructure to provide multiple true-HDTV channels and 1 Gbps speeds per subscriber on PON-based networks.

In March 2003, I published a report on our solution, the FiberBroadband Strategy vs. PON, which is the industry-standard. The report was featured in a Lightwave article "Are PONs too small for the Big Fish?" See http://tinyurl.com/59rlse for the article.

In July 2007, I published a Business White paper; Building Communications Infrastructures for the 21st century: A Multi-Billion Dollar Opportunity for Investors, Vendors and Partners.
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

GigaSpeed International, INC.

(Telecommunications industry)

March 2007 — February 2009 (2 years )

On Friday, January 30, 2009, GigaSpeed International, Inc.’s Board of Directors and Executive Team agreed to dissolve GigaSpeed International, Inc. per March 1, 2009. The entire Board and Team will transition to a company under a Limited Liability Corporation structure.

The name of the new company is: International Ultra-High-Bandwidth Access Networks, Inc. (iUHBA – pronounced Ayoohba). Any and all activities of GigaSpeed International, Inc. will be moved/switched to iUHBA Networks, Inc.
Chairman & CEO

21st Century Venture Capital LLC

(Venture Capital & Private Equity industry)

July 2005 — January 2007 (1 year 7 months)

I became Chairman & CEO of 21 CVC in March 2006, it was the successor of 21st Century Group of Funds, which I founded in 2003.

A new partnership, Lachman & Malik Capital Partners, LLC, has been set up with a Private Equity structure. At L&M, we believe that the next few decades will see "evolutionary progress through revolutionary means"™. An example is the next-generation way of transportation: ultra-high-speed transit, such as magnetic levitation (maglev) systems. The same goes for communications: ultra-high-speed and ultra-high-capacity communications capabilities through a next-generation digital communications infrastructure.

To “upgrade” (evolve) from the current status to the new level (next-generation), a revolutionary approach must be taken.
Chairman & CEO

LBDC International Holdings, LLC

(Telecommunications industry)

July 1999 — January 2007 (7 years 7 months)

I licensed all Intellectual Property of LBDC and its predecessors and (previous) subsidiaries and affiliates to iUHBA Networks, LLC.

Started as a personal investment, at LBDC, I was responsible for the investment and development of the FiberBroadband Strategy, which is gaining traction as a new, future-proof business strategy for ultra-high-bandwidth access infrastructures.

Based on extensive research and planning (90,000 man hours) since 2000, my teams and I have developed the FiberBroadband Strategy to realize the next digital/communications infrastructure through future proof patented technologies that will revolutionize the digital/communications industry as we know it.

The FiberBroadband Strategy includes the technical, business and financial aspects of building and operating end-to-end Optical Fiber infrastructures (Fiber-To-The-Home/Office) and a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) network to serve 20-40 million subscribers in the USA.
