| | 60 | Close cooperation!! [[BR]] |
| 55 | | c) Sol 3 base station deployments: [[BR]] |
| 56 | | Consider 3.6GHz operation? [[BR]] |
| 57 | | Study commercial campus deployments, to understand coverage and applications: U Colorado, Boulder; Northern Mich U; UMass Dartmouth [[BR]] |
| 58 | | Order Airspan base stations and related items, for delivery 1/2012 [[BR]] |
| 59 | | Complete installation within Spiral 4! (within 1 year) [[BR]] |
| 60 | | |
| 61 | | Decide on how to provide ASN-GW for handover [[BR]] |
| 62 | | Consider open-source ASN-GW? or ASN-GW from Airspan? [[BR]] |
| 63 | | How could we use Wisconsin mobility engine? [[BR]] |
