Overview
NODABL aims to become the nation’s leading provider of private broadband 4G/LTE and 5G networks and services that enable people, communities, and enterprises to flourish. We provide wireless networks that are secure, cloud-centric, and lightning fast, and offer them to customers as end-to-end turnkey solutions along with flexible business models. Each network sale is typically accompanied by a 3- to 10-year recurring revenue stream from managed services.
Enterprises today face indeterminate risks, uncontrolled costs, and unmanageable operational complexity because their broadband connectivity is a hodge-podge of cellular connectivity provided by nationwide wireless carriers, wired services provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs), enterprise owned wired and WiFi networks, wired IP security cameras, and walkie-talkie style two-way radio communications. Enterprises who want to leverage the power of data through Analytics and Artificial Intelligence look to NODABL for secure networks that provide mobility, real time visibility to operational data, and the ability to instantly communicate with “man or machine” via voice, video, and data.
The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the inequality that exists for broadband access in rural and unserved urban/suburban communities across the nation. When school districts were forced to close schools and implement distance learning, they realized that many students in poor communities did not have adequate broadband access in their homes. Schools looking to remedy the situation turn to NODABL for private wireless 4G/LTE and 5G networks to extend the secure and excellent broadband access available at schools into the students’ homes.
The Federal government is providing significant funding to K-12 schools, higher education institutions, cities, counties, and tribal administrations to improve the local broadband infrastructure. At the same time the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) is making available large chunks of mid-band spectrum to drive adoption of broadband and 5G. The Covid-19 pandemic along with federal funding and release of spectrum by the FCC has created a perfect storm of opportunity for rapid deployments of NODABL’s private wireless 4G/LTE and 5G networks.
NODABL is a System Integrator (SI) and Managed Services Provider (MSP) and, therefore, a de facto private network operator. We have several world class OEMs as Strategic Partners including Motorola Solutions, Nokia, and Celona. The Strategic Partners provide the cellular technology and a cloud-hosted solution platform. NODABL seeks out customers in different industry verticals and customizes the OEM solution to the needs of the customer. We offer our customers end-to-end services from network design to network installation to network launch to post-launch network monitoring and support. We additionally provide cloud-hosted value-added services such as Push-to-Talk, Video Monitoring, etc. on the network. With multiple Strategic Partners, we act as a trusted advisor to our customers and have the flexibility to offer the most appropriate technical solution at the most optimal price. Since August 2020 NODABL has operated a Motorola Solutions "Nitro" network at our offices in Waxahachie, TX, which we use to demo network features and use cases to prospective customers.
NODABL employs a two-pronged go-to-market strategy. We 1) market and sell directly to customers and, 2) market our networks and services through a select group of Development Partners. The Development Partners have expertise in specific industry verticals (education, city/municipal government, etc.) and have well established relationships with key decision makers at the target customer organizations. The Development Partners work on a contingency basis and are only compensated when NODABL wins a customer contract.
NODABL offers its customers business model flexibility in purchasing our networks and services. We presently offer customers three options as summarized below.
- CAPEX Model. In this option the customer pays upfront for all the network equipment and design, installation, etc. site services. The customer further has a typically a 3- to 5-year renewable managed services agreement for cloud-hosted services and network management.
- OPEX/Subscription Model. In this option the customer leases the network equipment on a monthly subscription basis. Upfront costs are lower but monthly subscription costs are higher as they include equipment subscriptions in addition to managed services subscriptions.
- 3rd Party Financing Model. NODABL has relationships with several equipment leasing and financing companies that can cover the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the network and services for the customer on a fixed monthly lease basis with terms ranging from 3 to 5 years.
Our Industry
Continuous technology evolution is the hallmark of the wireless industry. Over the past 30+ years cellular technology has evolved from 2G to 3G to 4G, and we are now just starting the transition to 5G. With each generation the data speeds have become faster, latency lower, and spectrum use more efficient.
Having access to wireless spectrum is a vital commodity in offering wireless networks and services. The wireless industry has traditionally been dominated by large, nationwide cellular services providers such as AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile because these companies alone had the deep pockets to spend billions of dollars in acquiring nationwide spectrum licenses. Regulatory changes and technology advances are, however, rapidly changing the industry and allowing new entrants such as NODABL to offer affordable private broadband networks to enterprises both large and small.
To spur competition and drive broadband adoption the FCC made significant changes to spectrum licensing rules and made certain bandwidth of spectrum available for use on unlicensed basis. More specifically, the FCC released 150 MHz of CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Services) Band 48 spectrum from 3.55 GHz to 3.7 GHz for shared commercial and federal use under dynamic spectrum sharing rules. The FCC created three tiers of users for the spectrum. Tier I users are the incumbent federal users – mostly fixed satellite stations and naval ships who use the spectrum on a limited basis for sea to shore communication. Through a spectrum auction in 2020, the FCC further offered seven 10 MHz channel licenses on a county-by-county basis creating a set of Tier II Priority Access License (PAL) users with no PAL licensee getting more than 3 channel licenses per county. A total of 22,631 licenses were awarded across 3,233 U.S. counties. The remaining 80 MHz of spectrum was left unlicensed for Tier III General Authorized Access (GAA) users. Per dynamic spectrum sharing rules, Tier I users have highest priority for spectrum access followed by Tier II users who are followed by Tier III users. The availability of unlicensed and lightly licensed CBRS spectrum on a county-by-county basis removed spectrum as an entry barrier and has made possible for NODABL to offer private cellular networks to its customers.
A key technology change benefiting NODABL is the transition of the very expensive core cellular network (Evolved Packet Core or EPC) to the cloud. Cloud hosting of the EPC allows large numbers of customers to securely share the core network thus making private cellular networks affordable to enterprises both large and small. This also allows a company such as NODABL to compete effectively with established nationwide wireless carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile who traditionally have leveraged their proprietary EPC core.
In summary, the regulatory changes and technology advances are disrupting the status-quo in the wireless industry and have positioned NODABL for success in the newly emerging and fast-growing market for private cellular broadband networks and services.
Our Product and Solution
NODABL has Strategic Partner relationships with Motorola Solutions, Nokia, and Celona, and offers its customers cloud hosted networks from the three OEMs. While each OEM has differentiating nuances, at a platform level the solutions are quite similar. Each NODABL product and solution platform therefore consists of three main components, namely,
- Customer site deployed On-Prem Radio Access Network (RAN) comprising of indoor and outdoor radios, networking equipment such as firewalls, switches, and gateways, and web-based portals for device management.
- Cloud Hosted Services that include core EPC functions of network control, security, access managements, communication between private network and outside networks including the internet, spectrum coordination functions, and cloud hosted applications. The EPC core is connected to each customer’s RAN via a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection.
- End User Devices such as radios, smartphones, tablets, computers, video cameras, sensors, etc. that are deployed at the customer’s site and connect to the network. Customers can select from a large variety of CBRS Band 48 enabled end user devices that work on the network including smartphones, tablets, and laptops from Apple, Samsung, Google, Motorola, and others.
The private broadband network solutions offered by NODABL fall into two categories based on network scale, namely, Enterprise Campus Networks and Wide Area Networks. Both network types are custom designed by NODABL and optimized for Coverage, Capacity, and Cost.
Enterprise Campus Networks
These indoor/outdoor networks are deployed as overlay LTE/5G networks over existing enterprise broadband infrastructure and support business-critical broadband, narrowband, and IOT applications securely behind the enterprise firewall. Data in motion and at rest is end-to-end encrypted and stays securely behind the enterprise firewall. Enterprises retain full control over the network without being burdened with the task of managing a complex cellular network. That task is performed by NODABL and our strategic partners.
5G in a Box - NODABL believes that the early successful 5G deployments are going to be self-contained networks in enterprise environments such as manufacturing, distribution centers, warehouses, etc. where automation provides a competitive edge. For such use cases, NODABL is developing a rapidly deployable "5G-in-a-Box" indoor/outdoor solution using the CBRS spectrum.
Wide Area Networks
These are mostly outdoor networks and are targeted at non-campus applications such as K-12 Distance Learning, Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) in rural and underserved communities, and for city or county wide networks for Smart City/Smart County services. There is a growing demand for wide area networks from K-12 schools and city and county governments who are looking to utilize the America Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds they have received from the Federal government to improve local broadband infrastructure.
Exemplary Use Cases:
- Distance Learning
The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the inequality that exists for broadband access in rural and unserved urban/suburban communities across the nation. When school districts were forced to close schools and implement distance learning, they realized that many students in poor communities did not have adequate broadband access in their homes. Schools looking to remedy the situation turn to NODABL for private wireless 4G/LTE and 5G networks to extend the secure and excellent broadband access available at schools into the students’ homes.
- Industry 4.0
Enterprises today face indeterminate risks, uncontrolled costs, and unmanageable operational complexity because their broadband connectivity is a hodge-podge of cellular connectivity provided by nationwide wireless carriers, wired services provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs), enterprise owned wired and WiFi networks, wired IP security cameras, and walkie-talkie style two-way radio communications. Enterprises who want to leverage the power of data through Analytics and Artificial Intelligence look to NODABL for secure networks that provide mobility, real time visibility to operational data, and the ability to instantly communicate with “man or machine” via voice, video, and data.
- Smart City Networks
Cities large and small across the nation are looking to improve operational efficiencies, provide free broadband access in public spaces, and offer its residents smart city services. Such cities are turning to NODABL to implement city wide wireless networks that the cities can use for business critical narrowband, broadband, and IoT (Internet of Things) applications.
Our Target Markets
Our solution, essentially “Network as a Service,” is a new-to-the-industry offering with tremendous growth potential across multiple verticals. The networks can be deployed at different scales all the way from wide area networks covering 20 square miles to enterprise scale campus networks covering only 20 acres. The chart below from Grandview Research shows the explosive growth predicted for Private LTE and 5G networks from 2019 to 2027 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17%. The growth is fueled in part by the availability of the CBRS spectrum and the growth in Internet of Things (IoT) applications across numerous industry verticals including manufacturing, energy, warehousing, transportation & logistics, and smart cities. NODABL expects to secure revenue from both hardware and services sales in our target verticals.
K-12 Opportunity
The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted unique challenges for K-12 Distance Learning that can be addressed using NODABL’s private networks. There are currently 16,800 school districts in the U.S. representing the Total Available Market (TAM) in the K-12 vertical. Due to the vast sums of grant money directed at K-12 schools by the Federal government, school districts are looking to rapidly deploy Distance Learning technologies. Even at a very conservative 0.5% market penetration, NODABL can expect to deploy 80 to 100 such networks for school districts throughout the country in the next three years. At an average network sale of $ 2.0M, this represents a revenue opportunity of between $ 160 M to $ 200 M over the next three years.
Local Government Opportunity
NODABL is targeting Tier 3 and 4 cities with populations between 10,000 to 50,000 for Smart City/Community Broadband networks. The chart below is a histogram of the number of cities with different population sizes. There are 2313 cities in the U.S. with populations between 10,000 and 50,000 representing the serviceable market (SAM) for NODABL in this vertical. At a modest estimate of 3% market capture, NODABL has an opportunity to deploy ~ 70 networks throughout the country over the next three years. At an average CAPEX of $ 3M per deployment, this vertical represents a NODABL revenue opportunity of $ 210 M over the next three years.
Our Strategy
- Establish NODABL as the preferred nationwide provider of private networks and services. We intend to aggressively address the serviceable market in our target verticals (K-12 and Higher Education, City and Local Governments, and Manufacturing) and then expand to additional verticals. By establishing NODABL in our target verticals we will be able to raise brand awareness which will help us gain traction in newer verticals.
- Grow our Strategic Partners from three to five OEMs. We presently have three world class OEMs in Nokia, Motorola Solutions, and Celona as our strategic partners. To be able to offer our customers with added solution flexibility, NODABL will look to add two additional OEM partners. NODABL is planning to add Ericsson as a strategic partner thus wrapping up three big private network OEMs (Nokia, Motorola Solutions, and Ericsson) as its partners.
- Grow our Development Partners to address newer verticals. NODABL presently has agreements with four Development Partners to address the K-12 education and city and local government verticals. Our strategy is to increase the Development Partners to ten within the next year and to make the Development Partner channel as our primary go-to-market channel.
- Expand our service offering to B2C. NODABL today is primarily a B2B (Business-to-Business) enterprise. In our discussions with cities and local governments it is evident that there is an opportunity for NODABL to not just be a B2B network operator but also a B2C (Business-to-Consumer) Internet Service Provider (ISP). As the opportunity arises, NODABL plans to expand service offerings to B2C either by ourselves or in partnership with established ISPs.

These securities have not been recommended or approved by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority. Furthermore, these authorities have not passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this document.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not pass upon the merits of any securities offered or the terms of the offering, nor does it pass upon the accuracy or completeness of any offering document or literature.
These securities are offered under an exemption from registration; however, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has not made an independent determination that these securities are exempt from registration.
Risk Factors
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties as highlighted below.
- NODABL is not yet revenue positive. While we have over $ 6 M in revenue worth of proposals under consideration by five customers, a commercial contract has not yet been awarded to NODABL.
We expect to continue to expend financial and other resources in site visits, developing network designs and solutions for prospective customers. Additional general and administrative expenses include legal and accounting expenses related to the crowd funding offering and continued expansion of our sales and marketing efforts. These expenses may not result in increased revenues or growth in our business. If we are unable to increase our revenues at a rate sufficient to offset the expected increase in our costs, our business, operating results, and financial position may be harmed.
- We rely on our Development Partners to generate a portion of our revenues. If these partners fail to perform or if we cannot enter into agreements on favorable terms, our operating results could be harmed.
Our Development Partners may be unsuccessful in marketing and selling our solutions in certain verticals. The agreements with some of our Development Partners are non-exclusive, and they can market and sell solutions that are competitive to ours. If they have better incentives to promote competitor products, it will require NODABL to match the incentives while simultaneously taking a cut in our margins. While NODABL additionally sells directly to customers, our Development Partners have expertise in various industry verticals and have established relationship with key stakeholders of potential customers that cannot be matched by direct sales through NODABL.
- We are materially dependent on the adoption of our solutions in various industry verticals including manufacturing and retail enterprises; K-12 and higher education; city, county, and tribal governments; and other customers. If customers fail to purchase our solutions our revenues will be adversely affected.
K-12 and higher education and city, county, and tribal governments typically depend on Federal and State grants to implement capital projects. While implementation of private wireless networks is allowed use of funds received from CARES Act I, Supplement to CARES Act, and America Rescue Plan Act, the recipients may choose to use those funds for other purposes or may choose to deploy a competitor’s solution. The buying process is often long and involves competitive bidding via RFPs (Request for Proposals). If we do not compete effectively, we will be unable to expand sales with such education and local government customers.
- We participate in a competitive industry which may become even more competitive. Competitors with greater resources and more experience may be able to respond more quickly to changes in customer requirements.
While we have formidable and well-established OEMs as Strategic Partners, we also have growing competition from some established wireless System Integrators. Some of these System Integrators have considerable experience selling radio systems to enterprises and are now looking to expand their offerings to private 4G/LTE and 5G networks. Some of these same companies have well established relations with our Strategic Partners as well as other OEMs.
Bearcom is one example of a competitor who has a 30-year relationship with Motorola Solutions selling radio systems - who is now a Motorola channel partner for private wireless networks. While private 4G/5G networks are a rapidly growing market and NODABL has first mover advantage, there are between 10 to 12 System Integrators who have entered or are looking to enter in this space.
Furthermore, nationwide cellular service providers such as AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile have noticed the opportunity for providing private cellular networks to enterprises. Verizon has already announced plans to offer such networks and services to large enterprises, and AT&T and T-Mobile may follow suit. NODABL believes that due to the high degree of required customization and high carrier overheads, the networks offered by these nationwide carriers will be unaffordable except for the largest enterprises.
- Defects in our solution implementation may reduce demand for our services, result in loss of sales, delay in market acceptance, or injury to our reputation which may adversely affect our business.
Implementing a private cellular network and integrating it into the customer’s existing IP network can be very challenging. It involves complex software, equipment, assemblies, as well as spectrum grants for our network. We depend on software that is installed on the equipment by our OEM partners as well as cloud hosted services from our OEM Strategic Partners. Defects in the software or equipment as well as delays in providing security updates can cause loss of market acceptance or cause increased service and warranty expenses including potentially payment of damages. While we plan meticulously along with our Strategic Partners for every network deployment and have protocols in place for software and security updates, such defects can manifest themselves even after a flawless network launch.
- Wireless networks are dependent on availability of spectrum. Our networks primarily utilize 150 MHz of unlicensed/lightly licensed CBRS Band 48 spectrum. We are dependent on spectrum grants from FCC certified Spectrum Access System administrators. Operating in or near major metropolitan areas where spectrum is a premium can be a challenge.
Much of our private network solution is dependent on getting General Access Authorization (GAA) use of the CBRS Band 48 spectrum. While there is 150 MHz of spectrum available, 70 MHz have been awarded in an auction to companies on a county-by-county basis as Priority Access Licenses (PAL). PAL license holders have priority access to the spectrum over GAA. Having access to only 80 MHz of unlicensed spectrum can potentially be an issue for us as we deploy networks in or near major metropolitan areas. NODABL has the opportunity to sublicense spectrum from PAL license holders but this then adds cost and can impact our bottom line if we are unable to pass on the costs to the customer.
- Security risks of our networks being hacked triggering liability to our customers.
Hacking is a risk for both wired and wireless networks. Our OEM Strategic Partners mitigate the risks by monitoring the network 24/7 for security threats and proactively pushing security updates to the deployed networks. NODABL further mitigates its risks by securing indemnification from our Strategic Partners.
- The wireless industry is fertile ground for Intellectual Property infringement claims particularly from non-practice entities (NPEs or patent trolls). We entirely rely on IP indemnification from our OEM Strategic Partners.
The telecom space is rife with non-practicing entities asserting patent infringement against operating companies. While our Strategic Partners provide us with IP indemnification, frivolous claims of infringement against NODABL can be a source of distraction to the management team and result in unnecessary legal expenses for the company. NODABL can confirm that no claim of patent infringement has been asserted against the company to date.
- If our business does not grow as we expect or if we fail to manage our growth effectively, our operating results and business could suffer.
Our ability to successfully grow our business depends on a number of factors including our ability to: a) accelerate adoption of our solution by customers, b) expand to new vertical markets, c) develop and deliver new products and services, d) increase awareness of the benefits of our solutions, and e) eventually expand beyond the US market.
As usage of our solution grows, we will need to continue to invest in updated solutions, technologies, security features, etc. In addition, we will need to appropriately scale our internal business systems and services organizations. Any failure or delay in these efforts could impair the performance of our solutions and reduce customer satisfaction.
A rapid growth could strain our managerial, operational, and financial resources, and will require continuous investment in several product and solutions areas. We are likely to recognize costs associated with these investments earlier than receiving some of the anticipated benefits, and the return on these investments may be lower or may develop more slowly than we expect, which could adversely impact our operating results.
- Each network is custom designed and must meet certain customer Key Performance Indices (KPIs). Lengthy customization and KPI certification processes could impact our operational expenses and adversely affect our financial condition.
Since each deployed network is custom designed to customer requirements, the networks have unique KPI certification requirements. Any delays or re-engineering necessary to meet KPI certification can result in added operating expenses, delayed revenue realization, and can adversely impact our reputation in the industry.
- If we fail to adequately forecast demand for our solution, we could incur additional costs or suffer delays that can reduce our margins and delay revenue realization.
Some of the core network equipment such as firewalls, switches, and gateways that we use for private wireless networks are also used extensively in data centers. Due to the explosive growth of data centers driven by Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and others, there is heavy demand and long delivery lead times for such equipment. Our OEM Strategic Partners maintain a lean inventory and depend on accurate forecasts of our requirements.
In addition, we often have extended sales cycles where after a proposal with pricing is sent to the customer a contract is not awarded to us within the 60-day period our prices are valid. Our option at that point is to revisit the pricing and incur additional project delays or honor the original prices quoted and take a margin hit if our costs have gone up during the period.
- We may not be able to continue to develop solutions that meet the customers’ needs in an industry characterized by ongoing change and rapid technological advances.
The industry and markets we operate in are characterized by evolving industry standards, frequent product and service enhancements, increasing customization, rapid competitive developments, and changing customer requirements. Our future success is dependent on our ability to both effectively and economically adapt to this evolving environment.
- Certified Professional Installer (CPI) license required from the FCC.
- Delays in local permitting can adversely affect network deployment timelines resulting in delays in realizing revenue.
Network deployment often involves building of new telecommunications infrastructure such a tall communications towers or installation of equipment on existing structures such as city water tanks, buildings, or light poles. These require issuance of permits by local authorities. Delays in receiving permits or failure to receive permits can substantially hinder our ability to deploy networks in a timely manner and can lead to both unanticipated costs or loss or revenue or both.
- Expenses related to General Liability and Umbrella insurance.
NODABL presently maintains General Liability insurance. Furthermore, NODABL only employs the services of properly insured and qualified subcontractors. As our network deployments become more extensive, we will seek additional Umbrella coverage. While we expect our insurance costs to generally scale with our revenue, any claims against NODABL or a claim by NODABL can cause our insurance costs to substantially increase and adversely affect our financial bottom line.
- The network deployment contracts with our customers may not result in actual revenue or profits.
Our customer sales and services agreements have a schedule of payments for services rendered. Due to the many business risk factors already identified (e.g., meeting customer Key Performance Indices) we may, however, never realize the full revenue potential from some of our customer contracts and some of our contracts may not result in a profit.
- Impact of Covid-19.
The Covid-19 pandemic slowed down the economy in 2020 and 2021. Many enterprises have cut back on their capital and operational expenses. Since our network deployments involve some upfront capital spending and on-going operational expenses by the customers, our market traction on the enterprise front may be lower than forecasted and can result in our business expenses exceeding our ability to generate revenue.
- Texzon Utilities, Ltd. and Batwing Innovations Inc. own 95% of the issued securities and will be able to control the company without input from investors in this offering.
Even when the SAFE converts to equity upon occurrence of a trigger event, the SAFE investor will be a minority securities holder and will not be able to influence the decisions of the company management.
- The SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) security may never convert to equity.
- Owning securities in NODABL can be a risky investment.
Due to the competitive nature of the industry, some incorrect decisions by the management team, or a variety of other unpredictable factors, NODABL may not be profitable in the future. In such an event the value of any securities held can drop substantially and the investor could face a financial loss.
- Rolling Close
The company’s offering may involve a rolling close. In such cases, once the target amount of the offering has been met, Investors with accepted subscription agreements become the Company’s Investors. Should a material change occur after the closing, you will no longer have the right to withdraw from the offering, regardless of such material change.
Avoid generalized statements and include only those factors that are unique to the issuer. Discussion should be tailored to the issuer’s business and the offering and should not repeat the factors addressed in the legends set forth above. No specific number of risk factors is required to be identified. Add additional lines and number as appropriate.
The Offering
Use of funds
NODABL presently has a first mover market advantage and a significant opportunity to grow revenue rapidly in the next 1 to 2 years. The principal purpose of the offering is to obtain additional capital to support our operations and growth and to increase our visibility and traction in the market. The timing of our offering is designed to capitalize on our first mover advantage to drive growth. Our offering terms provide early investors an opportunity to lock-in a good return on investment at pre-money valuation.
The principal purpose of the Reg CF offering is to obtain additional capital to support our operations and growth, and to increase our visibility in the marketplace. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering primarily for general corporate purposes including working capital, expanded sales and marketing, business development, and pre-sales engineering. The Table below shows a breakdown of contemplated use of funds depending upon target amounts ($ 25,000, $ 50,000, $ 250,000, $ 500,000, or $ 1,000,000) raised in the campaign.
As is evident from the Table, most monies raised irrespective of the target reached will be deployed towards revenue generating tasks of acquiring customers, namely, Business Development, Pre-Sales Engineering, and Marketing. NODABL typically expends a lot of funds in pre-sales as the initial network design and modeling for target customers is done without charge to the customer. The working capital reserve allows NODABL to outsource some tasks, aggressively pursue new opportunities, and bridge the gap between accounts receivables and NODABL expenses
As a young company, NODABL needs to establish robust business processes. Examples include processes for accounting (e.g., QuickBooks), outsourced hep desk services for customer support (e.g., from American Help Desk), automated recurring billing and quoting systems (e.g., from Mindcraft Pvt. Ltd. or Salesforce), RF modeling software (e.g., Atoll, IBWave) etc. A portion of the monies raised will be deployed towards establishing such core business processes.
Spectrum is a strategic asset for wireless networks, and we plan to use the Spectrum License Reserve funds to opportunistically acquire or license spectrum in rural geographically strategic markets. Since NODABL’s current fulltime and part time staff have been uncompensated to date, we plan to use a portion of our net proceeds for modest compensation of the staff. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in complimentary businesses, although we currently have no agreements or understandings with respect to any such acquisitions or investments. Pending the use of funds as contemplated in the Table above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade investments, certificates of deposit or guaranteed obligations of the U.S, government

Financial Condition of the issuer
The current financial status of the company includes limited cash balances, no revenue, no debt, and no previous equity offerings. To date NODABL has depended on cash and in-kind contributions from its owners to prepare customer project proposals and prime its revenue pipeline. Year to date in 2021 project proposals totaling over $ 6 M in revenue have been made to five customers. While we await award decisions by the customers, one or more customer contract wins will substantially increase our liquidity and cash balances through the first quarter of 2022. NODABL expects to secure between two to three customers contracts by first quarter 2022. In 2022 we will moderate our expenses to match actual revenue growth of the company.
Funds being raised through this offering will be used for additional business development including preparing proposals to several cities and counties in Texas for city/county wide networks, and a proposal to Navajo Nation to address broadband connectivity at 9 of the nation’s 110 Chapters. If NODABL raises only between $25,000 to $ 250,000 through this offering, an additional funding round may become necessary.
The discussion must cover each year for which financial statements are provided. For issuers with no prior operating history, the discussion should focus on financial milestones and operational, liquidity and other challenges. For issuers with an operating history, the discussion should focus on whether historical results and cash flows are representative of what investors should expect in the future. Take into account the proceeds of the offering and any other known or pending sources of capital. Discuss how the proceeds from the offering will affect liquidity, whether receiving these funds and any other additional funds is necessary to the viability of the business, and how quickly the issuer anticipates using its available cash. Describe the other available sources of capital to the business, such as lines of credit or required contributions by shareholders.
