     1049d)  Additional kits can be purchased from Airspan [[BR]]
     1050  Price is approximately $15,000. [[BR]]
     1051 
     1052e)  It is expected that additional base stations kits will be purchased for some (or all) Sol 3 GENI sites in Spiral 5. [[BR]]
     1053  Thus, campus site might be able to add additional sectors, at no cost. [[BR]]
     1054  Planning for next year will be done later this year. [[BR]]
     1055  Consider including additional sectors within your technical plan right away.   [[BR]]
     1056
     1057f)  Note:  Airspan indicates that they expect to introduce a new base station unit within the next year. [[BR]]
     1058  Somewhat reduced performance/range. [[BR]]
     1059  Approximately half the cost [[BR]]
     1060
     1061g)  Airspan indicates that their sector antenna provides:[[BR]]
     1062  A 90degree pattern, which is consistent with proper coverage over a 120degree sector.[[BR]]
     1063  Four internal elements, to support 2x4 MIMO.[[BR]]
     1064  Airspan can provide provide x4 omni-directional antennas, but the cost is much higher, and the range is signifcantly reduced.[[BR]]
     1065
     1066h)  Airspan shows that their profile-C base station unit can be configured to operate without an ASN GW and without a RADIUS (authentication) server.[[BR]]
     1067  In this mode, a list of allowed base stations must be configured into the base station, and groups of these base stations are mapped to a VLAN on the ethernet port.[[BR]]
     1068  This appears to be consistent with the current NEC base station unit operated with the ASN GW/WiMAX RF AggMgr code that has been provided by Rutgers/WINLAB[[BR]]
     1069  [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GEC12WiMaxDeploymentAndExperimentation/CS%20Network%20Configuration%20Setup%20Guide.pdf  MacroMAXe Configuration Guide][[BR]]
     1070
     1071i)  Airspan shows that if handover operation is desired, an ASN GW must be provided, plus typically an associated RADIUS (authentication) server.[[BR]]
     1072  In this case, the base station unit operates with IP at the interface.  [[BR]]

     1105  * (1) and (2) run Ubuntu, (3) runs Windows.  [[BR]]
     1106  * It has Ethernet connections to the NEC IDU, NYU-Poly network (and Internet), and very soon GENI backbone (campus IS just informed me that they will be testing that tomorrow).  [[BR]]
     1107  * We have firewall rules set up so this host only accepts traffic from host (2) on the wimaxrf AM port. This allows us to make sure that only users with a current reservation can configure the BS. [[BR]]
     1108
     1109 * 2) physical host running OMF 5.3 AM, EC, and some other services that are useful for the testbed. [[BR]]

     1111  * It has Ethernet connections to NYU-Poly network (internet) and OMF control network.  [[BR]]
     1112  * This is the host that testbed users log on to. We have firewall rules set up on this host so that only users with a current reservation can configure the BS or communicate with the testbed nodes. [[BR]]
     1113
     1114 * 3) physical host that serves our group website and the reservation system for the testbed. It's connected to the NYU-Poly network (and Internet)  [[BR]]

     1118  * They are connected to the pre-existing Ethernet jacks in the walls and floors of those rooms, which all go back to a CS server room, where we patch them through to our own (non-openflow) switch for the control network. [[BR]]
     1119  * We do have an openflow switch that we plan to deploy somewhere at some point. [[BR]]
