1.4 Safety Information

RF Exposure

The WiN5200, an outdoor CPE, is compliant with the requirements set forth in CFR 47 section

1.1307, addressing RF Exposure from radio frequency devices as defined in OET Bulletin 65.
The outdoor CPE should be positioned more than 0.6 feet (20 cm) from humans.

Lightning Protection

When WiN5200 is installed in an outdoor location, all indoor components (Ethernet, power
supply) should be connected through a lightning protector.

The purpose of the lightning protection is to protect people and equipment located indoors
from lightning that might strike the WiN5200 or its outdoor cables. Therefore, the lightning
protector device should be installed indoors, as close as possible to the point where the cables
enter the building. The lightning protector can also be installed outdoors, as long as the cables
that lead from it indoors are well protected from lightning between the box and the building
entrance.

Power Cord Protection

The WiN5200 should always be connected to the WiN1010 data adapter for both power
supply and data transfer purposes.

Any other type of connection/application of the WiN5200 and/or WiN1010 is not allowed.

Route all power supply cords so that people cannot walk on them, or place objects on or
against them. This can pinch or damage the cords.

2.4 Features

2.4.1 Mobile WiMAX Wave 2 MIMO Features

Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) describes systems that use more than one radio and
antenna system at each end of the wireless link. In the past it was too costly to incorporate
multiple antennas and radios in a subscriber terminal. Recent advances in radio
miniaturization and integration technology now makes it feasible and cost effective.
Combining two or more received signals has the immediate benefit of improving received
signal strength, but MIMO also enables transmission of parallel data streams or greater
throughput. For example, in a 2 x 2 MIMO (two transmit and two receive elements), dual
polarization point-to-point system, the carrier’s allocated frequency can be used twice,
effectively doubling the throughput data rate.

In point-to-multipoint systems employing MIMO, each base station antenna transmits a
different data stream and each subscriber terminal receives various components of the
transmitted signals with each of its subscriber antennas as illustrated in the figure below. By
using appropriate algorithms, the subscriber terminal is able to separate and decode the
parallel simultaneously received data streams.

2.4.1.1 Space-Time Coding

Space-time coding (STC) is a technique for implementing transmission diversity. Mobile
WiMAX uses transmit diversity in the downlink direction to provide spatial diversity that
enhances the signal quality to a specific subscriber located anywhere within the range of the
antenna beam. Although providing less signal gain than beam-forming, transmit diversity is
more robust for mobile users since it does not require prior knowledge of the path
characteristics of a subscriber’s particular frequency channel. One such STC technique,
known as the Alamouti Code, was published in 1998[4] and has been incorporated into the
WiMAX 16e standard.

WiN5200 Product Description | 13

2.4.2 Security

Security was a key failing of older broadband wireless systems of the past. The why of it is
easy to comprehend---any network that transmits its data across wireless signals rather than
wires is inherently more open to interference, intrusion or assault. This does not mean solid
broadband wireless security is impossible, just much more difficult.

As broadband wireless networks have matured security features have improved. With the
advent of WiMAX, the security toolsets available to broadband wireless service providers
have reached all time highs of functionality. Today's WiMAX networks can be secured more
effectively than ever before.

WiMAX and IEEE 802.16 Security Sub layer provides for privacy, authentication and
confidentiality across the broadband wireless network. Defined initially by IEEE 802.16-2004
and then corrected and amended by Corrigendum 1 and IEEE 802.16e-2005 respectively, the
Security Sub layer now supports Fixed and Mobile operation.

There are two major differences between the standards. The first difference is that the security
mechanism of the IEEE 802.16-2004 is based on the DOCSIS standard. In the 802.16e-2005
many changes have been made in the security mechanisms. The second difference is in the
flexibility of SS's connection characteristics with the BST. The IEEE 802.16-2004 only supports
fixed access. In fixed access, an SS cannot mitigate to the air interface of a new Base Station
(BST) without performing the network entry again after a connection termination. The IEEE

802.16e-2005 supports mobile access. Mobile access enables an SS to move between various
BST cells while keeping the connection established.

There are five primary aspects of WiMAX security that should be considered when designing
a security plan for a WiMAX network. These range from mitigation techniques at the physical
layer to improved wireless authentication and encryption to intrusion protection and data
transport security. At each level, choices in implementation and security levels can be made;
although in the case of the physical layer options are limited.

2.4.2.1 Physical Layer Security

There are two basic types of attacks that can affect the physical layer of WiMAX. One is
jamming and the other is packet scrambling. The first is relatively straightforward, and is
sometimes the result of interference rather than an attack. Jamming consists of a stronger
signal than the WiMAX network overwhelming network data feeds either in intermittent
bursts or with sustained carrier waves.

Since most WiMAX network services are delivered over licensed bands (currently 3.5 GHz
internationally and 2.5 GHz both internationally and in the US), this offers spectrum
relatively quiet from accidental interference. Accidental interference in licensed spectrum
cannot always be completely discounted as there is a possibility of second and third harmonic
interference waves, for example, from much lower frequency signals if those are in close
proximity to the WiMAX antenna systems or that cross them with a signal close enough in
physical proximity to locally overload the WiMAX signal. In practice, this is rare.

WiN5200 Product Description | 14

Packet scrambling is an attack that occurs when control packets in the respective downlink
and uplink subframes are sniffed then scrambled and returned to the network. This attack is
much harder to mount than a jamming attack. Since most WiMAX networks today use time
division duplexing (TDD), to include the Win-Max™ system, an attacker can parse this
timing sequence and capture control data, the preamble and map, scramble them and send
them back with correct timing to interrupt legitimate signal, resulting in slowdowns and
effectively lowered bandwidth. Intercepted and scrambled packets are possible with
frequency division duplexing (FDD) as well which transmits both the uplink and downlink
simultaneously, but it is even harder to exploit this attack than with TDD systems.

While it may seem the physical layer is inherently most vulnerable as the security elements of
WiMAX are located at higher layers, the fact is hackers can often find lower hanging fruit in
terms of useful exploits higher in the stack, because as WiMAX supports multiple selections
on what service providers can choose to implement in terms of authentication, sometimes the
door can be left open for them by the choices made.

2.4.2.2 Authentication

Traditionally the first level of security authentication for older broadband wireless
technologies has been MAC authentication and WiMAX supports this, although providers
don't settle for this method. This technique allowed service providers to log permitted MAC
device addresses and allow only those addresses to access the network. Hackers long ago
figured out how to spoof these. If a base station is not set up with adequate authentication
measures, an attacker can capture control packets and pose as a legitimate subscriber even
with older MAC device authentication enabled.

A second, newer and much better choice, embraced by the Win-Max™ system, is the built in
support for X.509 device certificates embedded with the use of extensible authentication
protocol---transport layer security (EAP-TTLS) method, added with the 802.16e standard and
WiMAX Forum.

Enter the EAP-TLTS authentication method. This technique allows both the subscriber and
the base station to authenticate each other using an X.509 method for both, in addition to a
subscriber authentication which is based on well-known subscriber authentication techniques
such PAP and MS-CHAP. MAC control headers are never encrypted in WiMAX, however
with EAP carriers can choose to authenticate them (but they don't necessarily have to). This
capability adds an additional layer of authentication confirmation. It's an operator specific
guideline decision and is tunable in the Win-Max™ system.

2.4.2.3 Encryption

Clearly the first layer of defense for WiMAX operators is to authenticate a legitimate user on
its network. However, WiMAX, with its 802.16e ratification, offers top line tools for
encryption of data. Older wireless iterations used the data encryption standard (DES) which
relied on a 56-bit key for encryption. This is largely considered obsolete. WiMAX 802.16e
certainly supports DES (3DES) but it also adds support for the Advanced Encryption

WiN5200 Product Description | 15

Standard (AES) which supports, 128-bit, 192-bit or 256-bit encryption keys. Also AES meets
the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 specification, required by
numerous governmental branches. This technology, which requires dedicated processors on
board base stations, is robust and highly effective.

Traffic encryption may be employed per 802.16 Service Flow and is subject to operator policy.

The relevance of encryption to the network operator deployment is questionable. In the past,
for example, many cellular carriers focused on authentication and mostly ignored encryption.
Whether that will change as mobile service providers ramp up more broadband applications
is an open question.

The downside to these heavy computing tasks (i.e. authentication and encryption) is that all
of this requires processor cycles, which may affect the performance of the system.
Nevertheless, the Win-Max™ system and especially, the SS and BST, which are the entities
that take active role in heavy security-related computations, were built bottom to top with a
design goal of offloading heavily computing tasks from the host processor to a specific circuit.
Consequently, no performance degradation is neglected.

2.4.2.4 Third Party Intrusion Protection

We examined WiMAX authentication schemes, which are a major component of a secure
network. And we also spoke of data encryption. Clearly, WiMAX possesses solid tools
already built in. But there are considerations beyond just good security that can drive a
migration to third party intrusion detection and protection tools---namely business case
elements. Intrusion protection is however, not data protection. These are two different classes
of solution. Certainly, a good third party intrusion protection can monitor and secure a
network's authentication. However, many solutions also offer worm protection, Trojan horse
protection, defenses against viruses, backdoor exploits and denial of service attacks to name a
few. Some of these elements are almost a business necessity for a wireless service provider
and may justify the cost of an additional security suite initially. For other companies, a
migration strategy to enhanced tools makes the most cost effective sense.

A good place to start is examining market and service scenarios. If your customer base is
highly sensitive to data integrity (financial sector or hospital customers) third party intrusion
prevention systems can help segment customers from each other better as well as secure them
from outside attack.

Or in another example, a mobile network that offers just Internet access and voice may wish
to abrogate responsibility for data encryption and use session initiation protocol (SIP)
signaling for its VoIP and WiMAX native authentication tools.

Referring to encryption, clearly an AES supported data encryption system gives WiMAX
excellent security in this regard. However, additional solutions that meet customer needs
such as virtual private networks may enhance the business model and provide additional
source of revenue.
