Ivan Seskar  (WINLAB) [[BR]]

 * These are "yellow nodes", introduced in ORBIT testbed [[BR]]

 * Can be used as:   [[BR]] 
  * General fixed servers  [[BR]]
  * Support Multiple Base-Station Mgmt Srvc   [[BR]]
  * Support Data-Path GW Srvc  [[BR]]
  * Support OMF/OML and Login services  [[BR]]
  * Provide WiFi access points  [[BR]]
  * Act as fixed "mobile stations"  [[BR]]
  * Act as vehicular mobile station (option:  12v power supply)  [[BR]]

  * Currently used by:  Rutgers WINLAB;  NYU Poly;  BBN  [[BR]]

 * How can these be provided to sites?  [[BR]]
  * One design to serve all needs  [[BR]]
  * Approximate cost:  $800 - $1500  [[BR]]

 * What are next steps?   [[BR]]
  * Working with other projects, refine design to balance functionality and cost, and decide what nodes are needed at which sites   [[BR]]
  * Order parts (due 11/15/12)  [[BR]]
  * Assemble and deliver to sites  (due 1/15/13)  [[BR]]
  * Can a few of the current yellow nodes be delivered to sites right away with OMF/OML and new WiMAX RF AggMgr?  [[BR]]

 * Planned allocation:
  * High-speed nodes (fixed applications only):

  * Low-speed nodes:  (fixed or mobile applications):
