11:05am	Update on WiMAX kits:  contents, including clients, and schedule for hardware and software[[BR]]
		Ivan Seskar (Rutgers WINLAB) and Sampath Rangarajan (NEC)[[BR]]
		Seven base stations were ordered, profile A, and are now expected to arrive (with a high confidence) by mid-May, 2010.  Profile A were choosen to allow the most cutomization.  Later orders will be for Profile C stations.  [[BR]]
		As these arrive, they will be assembled int kits with software on PCs, and delivered sequentially to cmapuses.  Goal for 2010:  deliver two kits to two campuses. Goal for 2011:  deliver remaining kits. [[BR]]
		Who wishes to plase an order for additiuonal base station kits?  BBN technologies;  University of Wisconsin;  others?  [[BR]]
		First clients have arrived:  USB dongles.  [[BR]]

This is based on the work in the following projects:[[BR]]
ORBIT (1660)	[[BR]]
		PI: Marco Gruteser WINLAB / Rutgers University[[BR]]
		Max Ott NICTA[[BR]]
		Ivan Seskar WINLAB / Rutgers University[[BR]]

11:15am	Deployment checklist:  steps, known status [[BR]]
		Harry Mussman  (GPO)[[BR]]
		

11:20am	It is important that everyone: [[BR]] 
		1)  Apply to the FCC for a license NOW  [[BR]]
		2)  Do a site survey to find a place for your antenna and your testbed equipment  NOW[[BR]]

A review of experience from these projects, and suggestions for others:[[BR]]
		BBN Technologies (pending)	Tony Michele [[BR]] 
		Reviewed his surevey and application process using [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/WIMXBBN/020810%20%20license-HOWTO.pdf  slides].  Applied for two experimental licenses;  both are now pending;  waiting for response from FCC.
	
		
		Rutgers WINLAB  (done)		Ivan Seskar  [[BR]]
		You can specify up to three campus locations in an application, and can then decide on using one, two or even three later.  [[BR]]
		You should check online for response from FCC, since paperwork comes much later.  [[BR]]

		NEC Laboratories America (done)		Sampath Rangarajan [[BR]]
		You should be sure to include "GENI Meso-Scale Project Overview" to alert FCC to government contract form NSF.  [[BR]]
		
		UMass Amherst 	(pending) 	Mark Corner and Brian Lynn[[BR]]
		See below.  [[BR]]
		
		
11:40am:  	Status and plans of all seven GENI WiMAX meso-scale campus deployment projects:[[BR]]
