The GENI WiMAX project currently utilizes commercial NEC WiMAX equipment as the basis of its WiMAX campus deployment kit, including a Profile A Base Station and a separate ASN Gateway, joined by the R6 interface, per Figure 6-2, above. The R6 interface implementation is not fully standardized, and thus includes NEC-specific functions. For the GENI WiMAX project, the WiMAX campus deployment kit provides the GENI Researcher with much flexibility: The use of a Profile A Base Station with an exposed R6 interface enables the researcher to monitor and control the base station radio functions. [[BR]] The ASN gateway utilizes some essential NEC code, but removes many high-level WiMAX functions (e.g., roaming) and allows the researcher to implement their own.[[BR]] Finally, the ASN gateway includes slicing functions, to allow the base station and ASN gateway to be shared by multiple researchers at the same time.[[BR]] Later in 2010, NEC will be updating their WiMAX equipment to utilize a Profile C Base Station, where some of the current ASN gateway functions are included in the Base station, and fully standardized R6 interface is exposed. When this occurs: The current GENI-specific ASN gateway software will have to be modified, with an effort of at leat 2 MM. [[BR]] The researcher will have diminished ability to monitor and control the base station radio functions.

It has been planned that the first three kits will be delivered to campuses/sites where there is easy access for support, i.e., at nearby locations: NEC Labs America, Columbia University, and Polytechnic Institute of NYU. However, it would also make sense to deliver a kit ONLY when the campus/site has received an FCC license, and is ready to install the kit. Thus, the delivery sequence may also depend on campus status. || Kit || Ordered || Received || Integrated || Delivered || Where || Note || || 2.1 || 12/17/09 || plan 5/15/10 || ? || Spiral 2 (7/1/10) || NEC Labs America || ? || || 2.2 || 12/17/09 || plan 5/15/10 || ? || Spiral 3 || Columbia University || ? || || 2.3 || 12/17/09 || plan 5/15/10 || ? || Spiral 2 (7/1/10) || Polytechnic Institute of NYU || ? || || 2.4 || 12/17/09 || plan 5/15/10 || ? || Spiral 3 || UCLA || ? || || 2.5 || 12/17/09 || plan 5/15/10 || ? || Spiral 3 || University of Colorado at Boulder || ? || || 2.6 || 12/17/09 || plan 5/15/10 || ? || Spiral 2 (7/1/10) || UMass Amherst || ? || || 2.7 || 12/17/09 || plan 5/15/10 || ? || Spiral 3 || University of Wisconsin || ? || It is expected that a third sets of kit hardware will be ordered in 3/2010 and will be delivered in ?, for those campuses not included in the Spiral 2 projects, or for campuses that want to install additional kits.
