New or expanded GENI WiMAX base station installations Airspan choices: 2510 Lo: 2496 - 2570 MHz 2510 Mid: 2560 - 2630 MHz 2510 Hi: 2620 - 2690 MHz Each site needs to obtain one or more authorized frequencies in the 2600MHz band: From an existing Educational Broadband Service license owned by their institution By applying to the FCC for an experimental license By negotiatying with Clearwire to "borrow" frequencies For those sites that expect to operate two or three sectors from one site, you should get two or three frequencies, so that a Mobile Station on the edge between two sectors is able to see and pick one sector or the other. For those sites planning to utilize handover, you should get at least two frequencies. Per Gregg Tome on 12/14/11: • Both Ethernet and Fiber connections are available on the Air4GW BS. • The longest Fiber cable we sell is 100M and I would not recommend longer than that. From Air4G product specifications: 1.3 Fibre Network Interface Standard: IEEE802.3z Interface Speed: 1000Base-SX for short range Communication Mode: Multi Mode Connector LC 1.4 Ethernet Ports Standard: IEEE802.3 Interface Speed: 100Base-Tx Communication Mode: Full Duplex Fibre and Cable: UTP category 5 or 5E Connector: RJ45 Socket You may choose the fiber Ethernet interface for easier remote connections, and to reduce concerns about lightning surges entering your server room. If so, you will need: Two short 2m fiber pigtails, to connect from the LC connectors on the base station to a more-standard ODC connector; these will be included in each base station order to Airspan Also, you will need to order: Up to 100m twin-fiber multi-mode cable (orange), with ODC connectors (need additional details) Fiber interface with ODC connector for your Ethernet switch (need additional details) 1) Site: Clemson (1843) KC Wang Number of base stations: 3 Ethernet connection, copper or fiber: interested in fiber Handover: Yes No of frequencies: 2 Source of frequencies: allocation from Clearwire and Digital Bridge Frequencies: "spectrum in the lower band segment, specifically channels A1-3 and B1-B3 (EBS call signs WHR481 and WHN712, both licensed to SCETV) which encompass WiMax channels W1, W2 and W3." Airspan choice: 3x 2510 Lo: 2496 - 2570 MHz 2) Site: Michigan (1858) Morley Mao Number of base stations: 1 Ethernet connection, copper or fiber: copper Handover: No No of frequencies: 1 Source of frequencies: allocation from Clearwire (waiting for final paperwork) Frequencies: " WiMax channel 1, 2502 to 2512MHz." Airspan choice: 1x 2510 Lo: 2496 - 2570 MHz 3) Site: Wisconsin (1866) Suman Banerjee, Derek Meyer Number of base stations: add 1 (likely to the city/county building) Ethernet connection, copper or fiber: copper Handover: Yes No of frequencies: adding 3rd for Airspan Source of frequencies: experimental licenses Frequencies: current: 2549.5 and 2590; adding: 2573 (+-5) MHz for Airspan Airspan choice: 1x 2510 Mid: 2560 - 2630 MHz 4a) Site: Rutgers (1887) Ivan Seskar Number of base stations: add 1 Ethernet connection, copper or fiber: copper Handover: Yes No of frequencies: currently 2 Source of frequencies: experimental license Frequencies: " 2610 (+-5) MHz." Airspan choice: 1x 2510 Mid: 2560 - 2630 MHz 4b) Site: UCLA (1887) Giovanni Pau Number of base stations: add 1 Ethernet connection, copper or fiber: ?? Handover: ?? No of frequencies: ?? Source of frequencies: experimental license?? Frequencies: " 2572 (+-5) MHz." Airspan choice: 1x 2510 Mid: 2560 - 2630 MHz 5) Site: Wayne State (1887) Hongwei Zhang Number of base stations: 3 Ethernet connection, copper or fiber: ?? Handover: Yes No of frequencies: up to 2 Source of frequencies: allocation from Clearwire, still under negotiation; considering alternate sites; Clearwire currently uses high band, but is redesigning thier paln in Detroit due to interference with Canada; will not be able to get frequencies from Clearwire until their new plan is complete. Frequencies: ?? Airspan choice: 3x ?? To summarize current view of Airspan order: 4x 2510 Lo: 2496 - 2570 MHz 3x 2510 Mid: 2560 - 2630 MHz 0x 2510 Hi: 2620 - 2690 MHz 3x unknown, until Wayne State is known Plan to order: from WINLAB, by end of 2011 Additional sites, and separate orders: 6a) Site: Temple (18xx) Jie Wu, Shan Lin Number of base stations: 1 Ethernet connection, copper or fiber: fiber Handover: Yes No of frequencies: 2 Source of frequencies: Experimental license; measured spectrum currently occupied Frequencies: 2580 (+-5) MHz Airspan choice: 1x 2510 Mid: 2560 - 2630 MHz Plan to order: when? need sample quote, and Airspan contact 6b) Site: Drexel (18xx) Kapil R. Dandekar, Jeff Wildman Number of base stations: ?? Ethernet connection, copper or fiber: ??
