Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide Chapter 1 Part #40-00047-01 Rev F v1.0 (TTA) 23 October 23, 2003 High-level I&C Process To put the I&C activities in the context of overall system deployment, Figure 4 provides a ‘flow’ of the key activities that are performed prior to and during the installation and commissioning of the Ripwave Base Station. Post-I&C, the system that has been installed and commissioned goes through Acceptance Testing against the customer’s objectives for that site. Once customer sign-off on the site is achieved, the customer becomes fully responsible for operating the system. Different job holders may perform various portions of these activities and not necessarily all of the activities. In fact, Marketing and Engineering personnel typically handle the earlier tasks, while installation may be a stand-alone function. Commissioning may or may not be handled by the same people who designed or installed the site. Regardless of who does them, these key activities have to be accomplished for successful deployment: ?? Site Selection, Design, and Preparation ?? Physical Installation ?? Commissioning, with Acceptance Testing and Sign-off Prior to installation, Navini and the customer formulate a Project Plan and Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) to clarify who will do what to complete the I&C activities. If requested by the customer, Navini may provide personnel, procedures, forms, and/or tools required to install and commission the Base Station equipment. They may also provide special commissioning software programs, computers, and any other special test equipment required. As part of the I&C duties, all testing results are recorded and kept for the customer to review and approve. These test results include the cable sweeps, the BTS Calibration Verification, RF System Tests, Drive Study, Line-of-Sight (LOS) FTP tests, and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) FTP test results. The I&C Supervisor provides site tracking and weekly status reports. All of these tasks can be negotiated with the customer. If Navini Networks is hired by a customer to provide Installation & Commissioning Services, involvement and some actual deliverables are still required by the customer. For example, the customer will need to review or perhaps even explain their Site Design Specifications, approve Logistics Plans, provide shipping information, approve the Network Architecture Plan, etc. As part of a successful hand-off from Navini to the customer, it is usually necessary for Navini to provide some product training to customer personnel who will support the Base Station operation on-going. Customers may opt to take on a Train-the-Trainer program, in which case Navini certifies the customer’s instructors who then provide staff training thereafter.

Chapter 1 34 Part #40-00047-01 Rev F v1.0 (TTA) October 23, 2003 Base Station Components Base Transceiver Station (BTS) The BTS consists of the RF Power Amplifiers (PAs), the digital circuit cards, the backplane, and the mechanical enclosure or housing. It performs the signal processing and RF transmission for the system. There are three types of chassis: Combo, Split, and Tower Top Amplifier (TTA). The Combo Chassis is used primarily with 2.4 GHz systems. The Split Chasses is used for all other (2.3, 2.5, 2.6 GHz) systems (Figure 5). The TTA is the latest chassis design, and is available at this time for 2.4 and 3.5 GHz systems. The chassis is compartmentalized into two sections - the RF shelf and the Digital shelf. The BTS connects to the network using a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connection or up to 8 T1 interfaces. Up to three BTS assemblies can be installed per system, depending on the configuration. The BTS specifications are provided in Appendix G. Figure 5: BTS Chassis Combo ChassisSplit ChassisRF/PA ShelfDigital ShelfTTA ChassisCombo ChassisSplit ChassisRF/PA ShelfDigital ShelfTTA Chassis
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide Chapter 1 Part #40-00047-01 Rev F v1.0 (TTA) 35 October 23, 2003 Radio Frequency Subsystem (RFS) The Radio Frequency Subsystem (RFS) is mounted on a transmission tower or building rooftop. It transmits and receives data to and from the Ripwave Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) using a digital beamforming transmission technique. The RFS may be either a panel antenna or an omni antenna (Figure 6). The RFS data sheets are provided in Appendix H. An RFS panel transmits in a directional mode, covering a transmit angle of 120 degrees. The antenna can be used as a single mode antenna, or it can be used in a group of two or three sectored antennas, covering 240 and 360 degrees respectively. Each panel requires a BTS to operate. For example, in a tri-sectored cell with 3 panels, you would need 3 BTSs. The omni antenna provides omni-directional coverage of 360 degrees. An RFS panel or omni contains eight (8) antenna elements, cavity filters, and, optionally, low noise amplifiers (LNA). In the TTA configurations, the PAs also are located in the RFS (antenna) by the LNAs and cavity filters.

A second GPS antenna can be provided for redundancy. The Ripwave Base Station uses the VIC 100 GPS Antenna (Figure 7). Figure7: VIC 100 GPS Antenna Mounting Racks & Enclosures The BTS can be installed indoors or outdoors in industry standard 19- or 23-inch racks. Rack adapters are needed to mount the equipment in a standard 23-inch rack. For outdoor BTSs, the customer can supply any standard enclosure from a multitude of vendors. Appendix I offers suggestions for outdoor BTS enclosures. Figure 8 shows 3 BTSs installed indoors.
