| 67 | * Access to building ground, for lightning protection, using a heavy ground cable. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | * Access to Indoor Equipment Room, for power and fiber (signal) cables. The use of a conduit is preferred, but otherwise the fiber (signal) cables must be mechanically protected. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | * Secure access, to prevent unauthorized people from disrupting installation, or receiving electromagnetic exposure. |
| 72 | |
| 73 | NOTE: It is suggested that this process be started IMMEDIATELY, to assure that an appropriate outdoor site can be identifed. |

| 78 | An indoor site (e.g., an IT equipment room) should be identified on campus that meets these requirements: |
| 79 | |
| 80 | * Equipment rack space to mount Base Station Indoor Unit. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | * Equipment rack space to mount Linux Servers contained in kit, currently 3 servers. |
| 83 | |
| 84 | * Access to Outdoor Site, for power and fiber (signal) cables. The use of a conduit is preferred, but otherwise the fiber (signal) cables must be mechanically protected. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | * Access to building ground, to ground equipment racks and mounted equipment. |
| 87 | |
| 88 | * Access to -48VDC feeds for Base Station Outdoor Unit (max 4A) and Base Station Indoor Unit (max 8.3A), or else -48VDC rectifiers run from 110VAC feeds. |
| 89 | |
| 90 | * Access to 110VAC feeds for Linux Servers, and possibly -48VDC rectifiers. If possible, the 110VAC feeds should be protected with an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) that bridges short power gaps, to prevent disrupting the WiMAX testbed from the most common (short) power gaps. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | * Access to backbone network Layer 2 connection. |
| 93 | |
| 94 | * Secure access, to prevent unauthorized people from disrupting installation, or receiving electromagnetic exposure. |
