Chapter 1

Introduction to the CBRS1.1Citizens Broadband Radio Service SpectrumThe Federal Communications Commission (FCC) opened the 3550 to 3700 MHz band (3.5 GHz Band)for shared wireless broadband use. The band is known as the Citizens Broadband Radio Service(CBRS) band.

The rules governing the CBRS are found in Part 96 of the Commission rules. Using CBRS enablesbetter coverage and data throughput than with unlicensed WiFi deployments, and supports the latest4G and 5G communications technologies.

CBRS provides numerous benefits for consumers, businesses, and government users. The new rulesmake additional spectrum available for flexible wireless broadband use, leading to improvedbroadband access and performance for businesses and consumers, while protecting incumbent usersof the band. CBRS equipment can be deployed in a wide range of wireless broadband applications,including advanced manufacturing, energy, enterprises, education and healthcare.

1.2CBRS Tiering ConceptThe Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) is governed by a three-tiered spectrum authorizationframework to accommodate a variety of uses on a shared basis with incumbent federal and non-federal (Tier 1) users of the band.

Tier 1 incumbent users have the highest priority in the band, though their number is limited.

Tier 2 users (Priority Access Licenses users) have the next highest priority (similar to licensedspectrum) and are limited to 70 MHz of the band.

Tier 3 band users access any of the 150 MHz of spectrum that is not utilized in an area.

Tiers Characteristics:Tier 1

Primary incumbent users including military radars, fixed satellite stations and grandfatheredwireless broadband users.

Tier 2Priority Access License users (PALs) who are bound to obtain their licenses via an FCC auctionprocess beginning in 2020. Secondary markets are also available for these licenses, as analternative to the FCC auction. Each PAL covers a “county-wide” area, and a 10 MHz channel.PALs represent at most 70 MHz of the 150 MHz of spectrum in each area, and PAL users areconfined to operate in the lower 100 MHz of the CBRS band.

Tier 3General Authorized Access (GAA) which includes users of any unused spectrum by the higher tiersin each area. A maximum of 150 MHz of GAA spectrum will be available in each area, and theupper 50 MHz of the CBRS band is reserved for GAA use only (see the figure). These users mayoperate in any area that is not actively deployed or utilized by PAL users or incumbents.

Access and operations within the CBRS are managed through a Spectrum Access System (SAS),conceptually similar to the databases used to manage television white-spaces devices. SAS can beconsidered as an automated frequency coordinator function that ensures CBRS band users do notinterfere with higher tier users. SAS also ensures that CBRS band users within the same tier do notinterfere with each other. CBRS spectrum is centrally and automatically coordinated by SAS's operated3rd parties.

Channels within the CBRS band are generally allocated in 10 MHz blocks, and may be aggregated toform larger channels. PAL users are allowed to aggregate up to 40 MHz of spectrum, while GAA userscurrently have no aggregation limit.

3GPP Band 43 LTE(3600 - 3800 MHz)

3GPP Band 48 LTE (3550 - 3700 MHz)

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards development organization defines commonfrequency bands for 4G and 5G communications equipment. The CBRS band is designated as Band48, while existing 4G spectral bands include Band 42 and 43.

Three categories of equipment are authorized for use in the CBRS band. This includes two classes ofbase stations, called Citizens Broadband Service Devices (CBSDs), and end user devices (EUDs).3GPP terms EUDs generally as user equipment (UE). CBSDs are classified as Category A (used for

low power indoor applications) or Category B (used for higher power outdoor applications). Thefollowing Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) levels per 20 MHz channel are allowed in theband. EIRP levels represent the combination of the transmitter power output level plus antenna gain.

Device EIRP Maximum Description

Category A CBSD 2W EIRP Lower power/professionally in-stalled base station (indooroperation allowed).

Category B CBSD 100W EIRP Outdoor/professionally instal-led base station.

End User Devices 400 mW EIRP 26dBm UE power class 2 –3GPP Band support.

NOTICE: Motorola Solutions requires a Certified Professional Installer (CPI) to certify and signoff on all compliant Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device (CBSD) installations.

1.2.1Incumbent Users in the CBRS BandThe CBRS band has historically been used sparingly by US federal government radar systems, alimited number of grandfathered fixed satellite service (FSS) receiver sites, and temporarilygrandfathered wireless broadband systems.

The Spectrum Access System (SAS) coordinates and protects the operation of all of these incumbentsin the band.

• Navy Aircraft Carrier Radar (operates only below 3650 MHz): limited number of aircraft carrierradars are deployed worldwide (<20). The navy ships are the only mobile incumbent in the band,and are detected by the SAS and an Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) network. Anoperational Navy (SPN-43) radar only occupies about 2 MHz of spectrum.

• Grandfathered Fixed Satellite Service receive sites (only operate above 3600 MHz): limited numberof fixed receive sites in the US, generally clustered in west and northeast (<20 general sites acrossthe continental US).

• Temporarily Grandfathered Part 90 Subpart Z equipment (only operate above 3650 MHz):equipment commonly used by wireless internet service providers (WISPs) and utilities. Undercurrent rules, these users must transition to Part 96 CBRS band rules (starting in 2020).

As shown in the following figure, ship-borne Navy radar only operates in the lower 100 MHz, typicallyaround a limited number of major Navy ports (and are not a concern when operating in the upper 50MHz (GAA) portion of the band. The FSS receive sites only operate in the upper 50 MHz of the bandaround a limited number of sites, and the Part 90 Subpart Z equipment users eventually need toconvert to Part 96 CBRS band rules (e.g., GAA spectrum users), though they are granted temporaryprotection by the SAS until they do so.

NOTICE: CBRS band systems are designed to have reduced chances of interfering withincumbent users by using modern directional RF antenna technology. A careful system designis sometimes needed to improve spectral availability and anything that provides isolationbetween systems (such as building walls or terrain and others) can improve it. The isolationwithin buildings allows a large fraction of the CBRS band to be utilized for low power indoorCBRS equipment.

1.3SAS Spectrum CoordinationMOTOTRBO® Nitro™ is based on the Citizens Broadband Radio Service rules, which provideunlicensed, but SAS coordinated (GAA) spectrum.

The SAS works to protect higher-tier users from interference from lower-tier users, while optimizing theefficient use of the available spectrum. In Nitro System, the SAS functionality is handled and providedthrough the Nitro Cloud, and no additional 3rd parties are required.

Spectrum Access is coordinated in real-time by using the SAS cloud-based 3rd party servers. CitizensBroadband Radio Service Devices (CBSDs) are provisioned by partners, but they must be certified andsigned off by trained professionals, known as Certified Professional Installers (CPI) who verify power,location, elevation, and antenna parameters and then report those parameters to the SAS.

It takes up to 24 hours to receive the SAS confirmation and permission to transmit after a CBSD isprovisioned and registered with the SAS.

NOTICE: A CBSD only transmits when SAS grants a channel. When the channel is granted, theCBSD periodically executes a heartbeat procedure with SAS to indicate its readiness tocontinue using the granted spectrum.

2.6.1.6Second Carrier Support for CBSDsCBSDs in the MOTOTRBO® Nitro™ Network can be configured to support a second carrier.

The second carrier support can be enabled with the following requirements:

• A Macro Cell ID for the single carrier systems must be available and configurable for the CBSD.

• A license acquired from Motorola Solutions must be available.

Table 5: Parameters for the Second Carrier

Parameter Details

Split Cell The CBSD can be configured as two sells oper-ating independently. In this configuration eachcell can support up to 64 RCC UEs at a time,for a total of 128 UEs across both cells.

Load Balance The CBSD attempts to balance the total amountof BRBs for both cells by directing UEs to con-nect to the least utilized cell in the CBSD.

Contiguous Carrier Aggregation The CBSD can utilize both transmitters as a sin-gle-carrier aggregated channel, allowing fordouble bandwidth to be utilized on the downlink.

Discrete Carrier Aggregation* If the SAS cannot grant a full 40 MHz channel,Motorola Solutions requests two non-contigu-ous 20 MHz channels.

* For future release

CBRS ParametersThe CBSD can operate in Split Cell mode. The CBRS parameters are at the CBSD level and not at thecell level. Only a single request is made to the SAS for both cells.

NOTICE: CBSD parameters are distinct per cell, rather than per CBSD.

2.6.1.6.1Second Carrier Support FeaturesAt the time of onboarding, you can enable a second carrier for SLX 2000 and SLX 4000 CBSDs.

When the feature is enabled, you can select from the following configurations:

2.6.3.4BYO SwitchesIn addition to the designated Juniper EX switches, the MOTOTRBO® Nitro™ system allows usingswitches provided by customers or partners, if they meet the required functionality. Motorola Solutionsis not responsible for configuring, managing, updating or debugging such switches. Motorola Solutionscannot guarantee successful implementation of such switches for the Nitro RAN network.

In the RAN design, the Citizens Broadband Radio Service Devices (CBSD) can get powered fromswitches. The CBSDs can be powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE). The switches in the Nitronetwork must support PoE++ unless the CBSDs are powered by a POE++ injector or DC powersupply. The power injector connects in-line between the switch and the CBSD.

The following requirements and features represent minimum requirements for the customer or partner-provided switches to properly comply with the requirements in the Nitro network.

2.6.3.4.1Mandatory Switch FeaturesThe following features are mandatory for switches used in the Nitro network:

• Managed/Configurable Switch

2.6.3.4.2Recommended Switch FeaturesThe following features are recommended for the switches provided by Customer or Partner, used inthe Nitro network:

Table 6: Recommended Switch Features

Feature Details

Port Mirroring capability (SPAN, RSPAN, RAP) Used in conjunction with a packet capture toolto assist troubleshooting.

IEEE-1588 PTP awareness • Handles jitter and latency introduced by thepacket switching of PTP packets. May becalled differently (for example, end-to-endtransparent clock support)

• Used when SLX 2000 or SLX 4000 rely onPTP for time reference

PoE++ for SLX 2000 • Used instead of external PoE++ power injec-tor


31

Feature Details

• Each SLX 2000 CBSD requires 40 Watts

• Power supply of the switch must support allconnected PoE++ devices

Q-in-Q tunneling, VLAN translation or equiva-lent

• Can be used to avoid Nitro VLANs conflict-ing with customer's VLANs

• VLANs in the RAN equipment are not config-urable

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol or equivalent Used to avoid switch loops and broadcaststorms

2.6.3.4.3Security RecommendationsThe following security features are recommended for Switches used in the Nitro network:

Table 7: Security Recommendations

Feature Details

Logical/Physical Segmentation • Design for a logical and/or physical separa-tion between the Nitro RAN and the custom-er network. Physical separation is achievedby dedicated switches. It also prevents thenetwork from competing for bandwidth there-by improving performance.

• Networks can be logically separated on thesame physical switch if there is no VLAN IDconflict between the Nitro and customer net-works. If VLAN IDs conflict, Q-in-Q tunnelingcan create logical separation.

Separate IP Domains No routing advertisements between the NitroRAN and customer network (except for EdgeGateway).

Unused Switch Ports Disabled It is recommended to disable unused switchports to increase overall security.

MAC Port Lockdown • When all the network elements (firewall,switches, PTP Server, Edge Gateway) arepresent and operational in the RAN network,the switches must be put in learning mode tolearn the MAC addresses of the connectedequipment.

• When all the network elements have gener-ated traffic, the switches can be locked downto only accept packets with the MAC ad-dresses learned by the switches.

• The customer is responsible for unlockingthe MAC ports to add or replace the equip-ment.


32

2.6.3.4.4Demarcation of ResponsibilitiesMotorola Solutions is responsible for the following processes and functions:

• Proper configuration and operation of the firewall

• Proper forwarding of Layer 3 IP packets to and from all the network equipment by the RAN firewall

• Proper operation of the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Server

• Proper configuration and operation of the Citizens Broadband Radio Service Devices (CBSD)

• Supporting evidence of the proper functioning of the network elements when troubleshootingcustomer issues

Partners and customers are responsible for the following processes and functions:

• Proper configuration and operation of the switches

• Proper forwarding of Layer 2 Ethernet packets to the network equipment by the switches

• No exposure of other network traffic or traffic elements into the Nitro network

• Supporting evidence of switches proper functioning when troubleshooting customer issues

System Planning3.1System Design ProcessCustomer information and system design input parameters are provided by using theMOTOTRBO®Nitro™Request Form. Motorola Solutions provides a budgetary quote with thesubscription offer and recommended hardware based on the input parameters. This budgetary quote isnot a coverage guarantee and the final system may require additional or less equipment. The Nitrosection of PartnerCentral contains all request forms.

3.1.1Requesting an Indoor Design ProcessPerform the following procedure to request an indoor coverage design.

Procedure:1 On the MOTOTRBO Nitro Partner central page, complete the Indoor Coverage Request

Form.

Indoor Coverage is a custom quote, similar to the current Distributed Antenna System (DAS)form. The Request form prompts for details, such as location or floor plans.

2 Complete the MOTOTRBO Nitro Request Form.

It primarily covers Channel Partner and End User Information.

3 Enter required data into the online System Design Tool Input form as shown in the followingfigure.

3.1.2Requesting an Outdoor Design ProcessPerform the following procedure to request an outdoor coverage design from Central Coverage DesignTeam (CCDT).

Procedure:1 Purchase the Outdoor Coverage Part Number on MOL (HKLN4495).

2 Complete the CCDT Coverage Request Form, which is available on the MOTOTRBO NitroPartner central page with updates for 3.5 GHz.

3.1.3System Design InputsAfter submitting the MOTOTRBO Nitro Request form, the System Design Input Form (Google Sheet) isprovided to collect the following system parameters:

• Area Name Parameter

• RAN Parameters

• PTT Parameters

• Data Parameters

3.1.3.1Area Name ParameterArea Name Parameter represents the space that requires coverage.

Identify the Area Name. Each row in the form typically represents an area or space that requirescoverage. For example, specify a single building, a corridor, or a floor in an office building.

The need for multiple rows depends on the similarities (for example, environment, dimensions, or PTTparameters) between each space.

For example, a building with numerous identical floors and call profiles could be represented in onerow by increasing the floor multiplier. If each floor, however, requires a different call profile, CitizensBroadband Radio Service Device (CBSD) model, or CBSD orientation, then each unique set ofparameters may require its own row in order for COEE to better refine the design.

ments in which the larger dimension is atleast 4 times the smaller dimension.

Outdoor UrbanSelect if the environment has many tall build-ings.

Outdoor SuburbanSelect if environment has a few short build-ings.

Outdoor RuralSelect if environment has little to no build-ings.

Length of Chosen Covered Area (m) Specify the maximum length of the identifiedspace in meters.

Width of Chosen Covered Area (m) Specify the maximum width of the identifiedspace in meters.

CBSD Antenna Height (Outdoors Only, AGL) Specify the Height Above Ground Level (AGL)in meters. Only applicable for outdoor environ-ments.

Total Number of Identical Floors, Corridors, orAreas

This field is used as a multiplier for identicalareas (such as floors or corridors) that requirecoverage.

Additional Link Margin (dB) Indoor coverage analysis already assumes nonline-of-sight propagation. Additional margin maybe added to model penetration loss to areasoutside of a corridor, to predict coverage provid-ed by indoor CBSDs to devices outside of thebuilding.

For example, if an environment has a knownobstruction (such as a large wall), a link marginof 15dB could be entered, which adds 15dB ofloss to the propagation model output.

Selected CBSD Model Available models are SLX 2000 and SLX 4000.

Additional CBSD-specific parameters:

• SLX 2000 – CBSD Orientation: wall or ceil-ing mount

• SLX 4000 – External Antenna Type: omni-or directional

SLX 2000 can only be used indoors, and theSLX 4000 can be used indoors or outdoors.

User Equipment Type Specify the subscriber type upon which systemcoverage is based. To design for multiple de-vice types, select the device type with the low-est effective antenna gain.


37


Effective antenna gains, listed from lowest tohighest:

• USB Modem / WiFi Hotspot: –11 dBi

• Smartphone: –10 dBi

• SLN 1000: 0 dBi

• CPE: +11 dBi

System Bandwidth All designs are 20 MHz system bandwidth in thefirst release.

Peak to Average Capacity Margin Peak-to-Average Capacity Margin (PACM):This parameter provides design margin that ac-counts for non-uniform distribution of devicesacross the design's CBSDs.

If design requirements for a system with a sin-gle area are met with a single CBSD, this pa-rameter allows for margin in the total number ofdevices.

Applies to both aggregate throughput (capacity)and simultaneous connected users.

"None" assumes evenly distributed users (i.e.peak-to-average capacity factor = 1). This is notrecommended.

"Low", "Medium", and "High" assume peak-to-average capacity factors of respectively 1.5, 2,and 3.

For example: A project has five identical areaswith 250 total PTT users (average of 50 perarea) and four simultaneously active data devi-ces per area.

• If a design generated with PACM = "None"specifies two CBSDs per area, the assump-tion is that the users will always be evenlydistributed across the area, resulting in ex-actly 50/2 = 25 PTT users and 42 = 2 simul-taneous data devices per CBSD.

• A design for the same project but withPACM = “Medium” (for example peak-to-average factor = two) may then specify fourCBSDs per area to accommodate doublethe uniform user density.

Table 9: PTT Parameters

Parameter Details

Total number of Active PTT Users The total number of active PTT users across allareas. For example, if there are 200 PTT usersper floor and five identical floors, this fieldshould be set to 1000.

Call Profile The call profile defines the load that voice (PTT)calls place on the system. This is done by spec-ifying the call rate and call duration of group andindividual calls for two categories of users, highand low. The parameters are as follows:

• Talkgroup call rate

• Average talkgroup call duration

• Individual call rate

• Average individual call duration

A default PTT profile is available, or a customprofile may be defined.

Percentage of High Voice Users Defines how many high voice users are presentversus low voice users.

Max Talkgroup Size The maximum talkgroup size in the organiza-tion.

3.1.3.7Backhaul RequirementsPTT (via Wave on Cloud) is the Nitro service most sensitive to jitter, latency, and packet error rate.

Customer-provided backhaul requirements depend on deployment type. Both in systems with andwithout onPrem Edge Gateway, the customer is responsible for backhaul transport between the sitefirewall and Nitro Core cloud, and MSI is responsible for the transport within the Nitro Core as well asthe local transport at the deployment. In systems with onPrem Edge Gateway, this includes onPremEdge Gateway links.

For each specification: Customer link specification = End-to-End specification - MSI link specification

MSI links are all local (that is no long hauls or internet), so latency should be minimal.

3.2Citizens Broadband Radio Service Devices Overview

Coverage ConsiderationsWhen planning your system, start by obtaining or sketching out a floor plan of the area that needscoverage. Work with Motorola Solutions or a coverage planning software to plan the CitizensBroadband Radio Service Devices (CBSDs) locations, including where to place the GPS antennas.You can have a combination of indoor and/or outdoor CBSDs installed to provide the required radiocoverage.

The SLX 2000 is used for indoor deployments.

The SLX 4000 is primarily installed outdoors.

The coverage range of the SLX 2000 is approximately 10,000–20,000 ft2, depending on thecomposition of the area being covered, which is roughly 4x WiFi (2X range). Actual coverage can belarger in open spaces, depending on the number of users and CBSDs.

The coverage range of the SLX 4000 is approximately 3 sq km, for antenna heights greater than 20 min a relatively open terrain.

Mounting ConsiderationsSLX 2000 can be mounted on the ceiling or wall. Determine if you need to use Ethernet or fiber.

Consider the availability of power to the CBSD. Usually Power over Ethernet (PoE) is most convenientbut if fiber is needed, use the external power adapter. PoE++ or DC power are supported options forCBSDs. PoE++ can be supplied by a PoE++ compatible switch or PoE injector.

Consider the distance between the CBSD and the network closet and the switch location, as CBSDshave Ethernet cable length limitations.

An SFP port allows you to add an SFP module to provide fiber support.

Use an optional SFP fiber module and external power adapter when:

• The CBSD is located more than 100 meters from the switch.


43

• Electrical noise immunity is required.

PoE++ or DC, an external power adapter or PoE++ injectors may be used.

SLX 4000 can be mounted on a pole or wall.

Use the dealer-supplier fiber-to-copper media converter and external power adapter when:

• The CBSD is located more than 100 meters from the switch.

• Electrical noise immunity is required.

DC or AC power

Ethernet

Antenna ConsiderationsSLX 4000 requires an external antenna.

Select an omnidirectional or directional antenna for the chosen RF coverage.

Motorola Solutions offers two choices, an omni- and a directional antenna, to address most use cases,but others are available on the market as well. EIRP is dependent on antenna selection.

3.3Network DesignAfter the placement of the Citizens Broadband Radio Service Devices (CBSDs) is designed, equipmentthat connects the system must be ordered. This includes the cabling and the locations of the firewall,switches, and PTP server. The quantities of equipment and available port capacity on the switcheshelp determine how many switches are needed, but cable lengths and whether copper or fiber areused must be considered.

NOTICE: The RAN firewall's Backhaul interface is pre-configured with either port 0/7 (RJ-45) or0/8 (SFP). To complete the configuration, the static IP address assigned to the firewall by theInternet provider must be obtained by the customer and the gateway IP address. The addressof a firewall in the path that performs Network Address Translation (NAT) of the Nitro firewall’saddress should be also provided.

3.3.1Network Design GuidelinesTo design the network aligned with the standard, you should follow network design heuristics forspecific system components.

CBSD Communication with Juniper SRX345Firewall

CBSDs are communicating to the RAN SRXfirewall by using IPSec tunnel.

3.3.2Possible Topologies for Switches

Linear Switching Topology Using 1000Base-T Inter-ConnectSwitches are connected linearly as shown in the diagram. When Citizens Broadband Radio ServiceDevices (CBSDs) are using Precision Time Protocol (PTP) servers as their time reference, there canbe no more than four switches between a CBSD and the PTP servers it is using as a time reference.CBSDs using GPS (directly) as a time reference do not need to be within four switches of a PTPserver.

Figure 22: Linear Switching Topology Using 1000Base-T Inter-Connect

NOTICE: Placing the PTP server on the central switch could reduce the number of PTP hops toimprove the quality of the time reference received by the CBSDs.

Ring Switching Topology Using Fiber Inter-ConnectSwitches are connected in a ring as shown in the diagram. When CBSDs are using PTP server(s) astheir time reference, there can be no more than 10 switches between a CBSD and the PTP server(s) itis using as a time reference. CBSDs using GPS (directly) as a time reference do not need to be withinten switches of a PTP server. Radio Access Network supports up to 100 CBSD’s, even though theswitching network may actually provide more than 100 CBSD ports.


47

Figure 23: Ring Switching Topology Using Fiber Inter-Connect

If protection from a connection or switch failure is preferred, the switches can be arranged in a loop.

When the redundant firewall is present, at least two switches are required. Each firewall connects to adifferent switch.

Hub and SpokeThe table shows the number of CBSD switch ports available in a hub and spoke topology containingone EX4300-32F hub and 10 EX4300-48MP/EX3400 spokes. The EX4300-32F can support 14 CBSDsdirectly. An Edge Gateway, if present, connects to a EX4300-32F switch in this topology. RANsupports up to 100 CBSDs, even though the switching network may actually provide more than 100CBSD ports.

3.3.3Network Design ExamplesTo aid in network design planning and to facilitate the ordering process, this section provides examplesof typical Nitro deployments. EX4300 switches are used when there is a need for more fiberconnections, possibly because of long cable runs. There is a lot of overlap in the capabilities andcapacities of both designs so you may find that your customer specific design can be accommodatedwith or without EX4300 switches.

Once the network has been designed, the switches, Precision Time Protocol (PTP) server, and firewallcome with Motorola Solutions supplied configurations. For port allocations on each hardwarecomponent, see MOTOTRBO Nitro Installation and Configuration Manual.

Figure 26: Small Network with EX3400 Switches and Ethernet Cabling

Example 2: Large Network with EX4300-32F and EX3400 Switches, Ethernet,and Fiber CablingThis example shows a larger Nitro system where CBSDs require PoE, but have significant distancebetween them that warrants fiber connections. EX3400 switches provide the power for CBSD’s and theEX4300-32F provide the fiber ports that accommodate the distances. Note that fiber connectionsrequire SFP transceivers for their endpoint connections. The Edge gateway and PTP server usecopper connections and require RJ45 transceivers when connecting to the EX4300-32F switches.Alternatively, they can be connected to the EX3400 switches.

This design supports redundant firewalls and redundant EX4300-32F switches. Any device connecteddirectly to an EX4300-32F loses connectivity if the switch fails. Both EX3400s and EX4300s can beconnected and be used in either path.

Example 3: Small Network with EX4300-32F Switch and Fiber CablingThis example shows a small Nitro system with the RAN deployment that can use EX4300-32Fswitches instead of EX4300-48MP/EX3400 to provide both copper or fiber connections. Transceiversare required in the switch slots to provide either RJ45 for copper or SFP for fiber connections. Forexample, the CBSD’s can be connected by using fiber with fiber SFP transceivers and an externalpower supply. Fiber to Ethernet converters may also be required for CBSDs that only support Ethernetconnections.
