I&C Process Flowchart

To put the I&C activities in the context of overall system deployment, Figure 2 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 signoff 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 Engineering

• Installation

• Commissioning

• 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.

Base Station Components

Base Transceiver Station (BTS)

The BTS consists of the RF Power Amplifiers (PA’s), 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 two types of chassis: Combo and Split. 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 3).

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.

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 4).

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 BTS’s. 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). For downtilt, the omni must be situated as it comes from the factory. A panel’s downtilt can be adjusted at the site. The higher up the antenna is placed, the more downtilt it typically required.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

One or two Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas are used with each Base Station. A GPS antenna works with a constellation of satellites that orbit the earth, and it provides the ability to pinpoint geographical locations. The two types of GPS antennas that may be ordered with a Ripwave Base Station are the VIC 100 and the Motorola Timing 2000 (Figure 5).

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 BTS’s, the customer can supply any standard enclosure from a multitude of vendors. Appendix J offers suggestions for outdoor BTS enclosures. Figure 6 shows 3 BTS’s installed indoors.

General Specifications

Input Power

The BTS requires +21 to 28 VDC power supply rated at 60 amps. Installers are referred to industry standards for power supply installations.

Humidity

The operating environment of the BTS must control relative humidity to 5% to 95% RH, noncondensing.

Heat Dissipation

The combo BTS chassis, under normal operating conditions, will dissipate a maximum of 1000 Watts or 3415 BTU’s. The split chassis will dissipate a maximum of 1500 watts.

Airflow

Fresh air intake for the BTS chassis is along the lower front vertical panel. Exhaust is out of the upper rear of the chassis. The I&C crew must ensure there are no obstacles to airflow present in these areas. Exhaust air from other equipment should not mix with the BTS fresh air intake.

Accessibility

The BTS is intended for installation and use only in a restricted access location.

Chapter 2: Installation

Pre-installation

As was shown in Figure 2, prior to installation a number of planning activities take place. The installation itself takes only about 2 days. The I&C crew usually is not involved with all the preinstallation activities. Of these, they are likely to be most involved in the Site Candidate Evaluation.

Project Plan

A Project Plan is a document that lays out the work to be done, the objectives of the project, the schedule, resources required, and so forth. If Navini is performing the I&C activities, a Project Manager is assigned. The Project Manager prepares the Project Plan and shares it with the Navini and customer teams.

Coverage Prediction Map

Early in the planning of deployment of Ripwave Base Station equipment, an RF Engineer will go through the process of studying the RF environment of the candidate sites that the customer has identified. Readings are taken and analyzed at each site in order to predict what range of coverage can be expected from installing a Base Station at the site. Coverage predictions account for both Base Station performance as well as Marketing objectives with the service itself. The customer accomplishes the latter as part of the decisions concerning site selection.

Site Candidate Evaluation

Often Technicians will be very comfortable with either the networking side or the wireless side of the system, but not usually both. To evaluate a potential install site, a form is used to ensure all aspects of the site have been considered. Information is recorded on the form. Since each site is unique, the form helps to ensure nothing is taken for granted or assumed about the installation site for the Ripwave equipment. A copy of this form may be found in Appendix B places to capture the logistics of the site, tower or rooftop mount possibilities, GPS coordinates, type of antenna to be installed, whether or not an outdoor enclosure is provided, power availability, distance between connection points, ventilation, a place for drawings from every angle, etc. It is from this information that the site will be designed, then installed to plan.

. It includes

Part #40-00047-00 Rev D v1.0 39 February 28, 2003

Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide Navini Networks, Inc.

Interference Analysis

The RF Engineer(s) also analyzes existing interference from other sources, and takes that into account when creating the coverage prediction map. In addition to coverage, though, the interference analysis also helps to predict the quality of service, the power requirements to get above the noise floor, and other expectations regarding the site. This study will help Navini and the customer decide which type of system (frequency) and antenna (panel or omni) will provide the best results.

Network Architecture Plan

The IP Networking community involved in the project, both from Navini and the customer, work together to analyze and plan how the Ripwave system will be integrated into the customer’s network. Of course, they are looking for efficient operation of the system and seamless integration. They have to plan the traffic routing, IP addressing, protocol compatibility, and so forth.

Bill of Materials

Someone has to generate the Bill of Materials (BoM) - the actual equipment order to be manufactured and shipped to the installation site. Navini can provide part numbers and ordering information, as well as recommendations and other details that will assist customers in the correct placement of orders. There is a sample Bill of Materials in Appendix O.

Backhaul Connections

The Backhaul connections for the Ripwave Base Station consist of up to two (2) Ethernet cable connections with RJ-45 connectors for each BTS installed, OR, up to eight (8) T1 connections with RJ-48 connectors for each BTS. The quantity of each connection will depend on the site requirements. These connections need to be made available before installation begins.

Power Requirements for the Base Station

The input power source will be determined during the site survey. The DC power source needs to be an independent hard-wired circuit of 21VDC to 28VDC with a 50-amp breaker for the Combo Chassis and a 70-amp breaker for the Split Chassis. The power plant return bus must be connected to an earth ground connection similar to the Base Station chassis. Insulated #6 AWG cable is recommended. The combo chassis system generates up to 1000 Watts, and the split chassis system generates up to 1500 Watts maximum; however, 1353 Watts is typical.

February 28, 2003

Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Base Station I&C Guide

Ground Requirements for the Base Station

The Base Station requires an earth ground connection. This ground should exhibit a maximum of five ohms across true ground.

NOTE: The installation procedures, which begin next, follow the same order as shown in the I&C Flowchart in Figure 2.

An example of a Base Station drawing for a particular site is provided in Appendix P. An example of a written Statement of Work (SOW) and Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) for installation and commissioning are provided in Appendices Q and R. This type of document may be used in negotiating work between companies and contractor services.

Install Power & Grounding

System Ground Buss Bar & Surge Protectors

The Base Station system ground buss bar and data/power cable surge protectors are mounted on the wall adjacent to the BTS rack or enclosure. They should be mounted per accepted telecom standards and procedures.

Step 1. Mount the data/power cable surge protectors (Figure 7) with the label ‘lines’ toward

the RFS and the label ‘BTS’ toward the BTS.

Step 2. Apply a thin coat of anti-oxidant joint compound to both sides of the system ground

buss bar to ensure proper connection between it and the surge protectors.

Figure 7: Data/Power Cable Surge Protector

To install the eight (8) antenna and one (1) cal cable surge protectors (Figure 8), and the one (1) or two (2) Global Positioning System (GPS) surge protectors (Figure 9) in the system ground buss bar, follow the steps below.

1. Install the rubber gasket into the groove in the surge protector.

2. Install the surge protector in the system ground buss bar with the surge side toward the antenna and the protected side toward the BTS.

3. Install the star washer and nut on the top of the surge protector. Torque the nut to 140-150 inch-pounds.

4. When finished, the mounted surge protectors in the buss bar will appear as in Figure 10.

Cable Preparation

The cable run is determined during the site survey. Note that the length of the cables may need to be slightly different, depending on the position of the buss bar relative to the BTS.

• Cut nine (9) pieces of cable for the main feeder cables to connect the nine RFS

connectors to the surge protectors on the system ground buss bar. Leave enough extra length for the service loop below the RFS and for connection to the surge protectors.

• Cut eight (8) pieces of cable for the jumper cables to connect the surge protectors on the

system ground buss bar to the eight (8) RF input connectors on the back of the BTS. Leave enough extra cable length for service.

• Cut one (1) piece of cable for the jumper cable to connect the surge protector on the

system ground buss bar to the CAL connector on the back of the BTS. Leave enough extra cable length for service.

• Cut a piece of LMR 400 cable to connect each of the GPS antennas to the surge

protectors on the system ground buss bar. Leave enough extra cable length for service. The maximum length of the LMR 400 cable for the GPS antenna is 100 feet.

• Cut a piece of LMR 400 cable to connect the surge protectors on the system ground buss

bar to each GPS connector on the back of the BTS. Leave enough extra cable length for service. If there is more than one BTS co-located in the installation, two GPS antennas can serve all BTS’s in the installation.

• The cable from the GPS antenna (after it goes through the surge protector) is connected

to the antenna input of the GPS distribution amplifier (Figure 12). The output ports of the GPS distribution amplifier are connected to the GPS inputs of the BTS. The GPS distribution amplifier is powered by the GPS antenna input. The drawing in Figure 13 depicts the placement of the shared GPS resources among three BTS’s.

Install Connectors on Cables

Install connectors on both ends of each cable. For LMR 600 cables, install EZ-600 N-type male connectors. For LMR 400 cables, install EZ-400 N-type male connectors. Steps for installing both types of connectors can be found in Appendix K. For reference, Appendix L also provides a list of vendors who can make cables.

Sweep Individual Cables

Sweep each individual cable, the RFS (8) and CAL main feeder and jumper cables, to check for line loss. Follow the instructions for sweeping the cables provided in Appendix C, entering the results in the RFS System Test Form. Check continuity of the data/power cable. When finished, cover the cable connectors for protection until they are connected to the RFS or GPS.

Connectorize & Run Cables

Connect all of the RF cables to the surge protectors in the system ground buss bar. An example of a buss bar connection is shown in Figure 14. Ensure that the proper cable is connected to the proper surge protector. Connect the power/data cable to its surge protector. Also connect all the jumper cables to the surge protectors that will attach to the BTS. Do not connect these cables to the BTS at this time. Torque all the cable connectors to the surge protectors on the system ground buss bar to 20-24 inch-pounds.

Figure 14: Buss Bar Connections

Route all of the cables – RFS (8), CAL, DATA/POWER and GPS (1 or 2) - between the system ground buss bar and the RFS, and GPS mounting sites. If running the cables up a tower, use a hoisting grip to lift the cables (Figures 15 and 16).
