19 | | 11:05am Update on WiMAX kits: contents, including clients, and schedule for hardware and software[[BR]] |
20 | | Ivan Seskar (Rutgers WINLAB) and Sampath Rangarajan (NEC)[[BR]] |
21 | | Sampath: Seven base stations were ordered, profile A, and are now expected to arrive (with a high confidence) by mid-May, 2010. Profile A was choosen to allow the most cutomization. Later orders will be for Profile C stations. [[BR]] |
22 | | Ray: As these arrive, they will be assembled into kits with software on PCs, and delivered sequentially to campuses. Goal for 2010: deliver two kits to two campuses. Goal for 2011: deliver remaining kits. [[BR]] |
23 | | Harry: Who wishes to plase an order for additional base station kits? BBN Technologies; University of Wisconsin; others? [[BR]] |
24 | | Ivan: First clients have arrived: USB dongles. [[BR]] |

| 19 | Brief review of updated WiMAX wiki pages, by Harry, including: |
26 | | This is based on the work in the following projects:[[BR]] |
27 | | ORBIT (1660) [[BR]] |
28 | | PI: Marco Gruteser WINLAB / Rutgers University[[BR]] |
29 | | Max Ott NICTA[[BR]] |
30 | | Ivan Seskar WINLAB / Rutgers University[[BR]] |
| 21 | The wiki page for WiMAX integration at http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/WiMAXInteg [[BR]] |
| 22 | And for all projects, I've added a checklist to their page. And, there is a table summarizing the status of all projects at http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/WiMAXInteg/CampusInstallation#a8.21CampusDeploymentPlan |
| 23 | Please make any changes or additions to the wiki pages, and forward any comments to the team. |

49 | | 11:20am It is important that everyone: [[BR]] |
50 | | 1) Apply to the FCC for a license NOW [[BR]] |
51 | | 2) Do a site survey to find a place for your antenna and your testbed equipment NOW[[BR]] |
52 | | |
53 | | Harry: A campus must have received an FCC license and completed its site survey, before it can receive a kit. It is important that everyone apply for a license now. |
54 | | |
55 | | A review of experience from these projects, and suggestions for others:[[BR]] |
56 | | BBN Technologies (pending) Tony Michel [[BR]] |
57 | | Tony: completed survey and application process, per [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. If and when received, good for 2 years; then, will need to reapply. |

60 | | Rutgers WINLAB (done) Ivan Seskar [[BR]] |
61 | | Ivan: You can specify up to three campus locations in an application, and can then decide on using one, two or even three later. [[BR]] |
62 | | You should check online for response from FCC, since paperwork comes much later. [[BR]] |
63 | | |
64 | | NEC Laboratories America (done) Sampath Rangarajan [[BR]] |
65 | | Sampath: You should be sure to include "GENI MiMAX Meso-Scale Project Overview" to alert FCC to government contract form NSF. [[BR]] |

| 29 | 11:15am: Status and plans of all seven GENI WiMAX meso-scale campus deployment projects:[[BR]] |
85 | | Brian: IT has license that they want to retain. Mark has applied for a second license; pending. Three possible sites: Top of library bduilding, 20 stories, with equipment room in building. Top of graduate research center building, few stories, with equipment room in building. Top of CS building, few stories, without a good equipment room. [[BR]] |
| 46 | Brian on 2/8: IT has license that they want to retain. Mark has applied for a second license; pending. Three possible sites: Top of library bduilding, 20 stories, with equipment room in building. Top of graduate research center building, few stories, with equipment room in building.
