Broadband Transformation in Rural AmericaTelecommunications networks in rural and small

town markets are undergoing a massive

transformation.

Rural telephone networks, originally designed for high-quality narrow-band, circuit-switched voice calls, cannot handle increasing broad-band Internet Protocol (IP) traffic.

Today, our customers demand and expect, high-speed any media, anywhere, anytime connections for their voice, data and video servic-es that rely on IP technology. This means that the existing networks must be replaced.

The Wireless BulletinFor Broadband Wireless In Rural/Small Markets

Broadband is being deployed in rural wireline and wireless networks alike.

Of all the technology choices available to network planners, broad-band wireless currently offers the fastest and most cost-effective means of delivering high-speed Internet access to a large number of customers over a wide area.

Broadband wireless, referred to as the fourth generation of wireless, or 4G, is based on WiMAX 802.16x, and soon-to-be available Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology.

The implications for 4G infrastructure are profound.

Simply put, new wireless networks must be constructed using new radios in new frequency bands designated for broadband. In many cases, new base stations must be built and in other instances, 4G antennas and radios will be installed as an overlay on existing 2G/3G cell sites.

4G broadband wireless capability is particularly attractive in less densely populated rural and small town markets where ‘per subscriber’ costs for wired solutions are very high by comparison. For these exciting reasons, we’re pleased to introduce The Wireless Bulletin for Broadband Wireless in Rural/Small Markets, a planning guide, technical resource, and product reference for network planners, RF engineers, operations managers, and procurement staff charged with building and operating broadband wireless networks in rural and small markets.

Broadband Wireless and Why It Is Important

Broadband is a term used primarily in data communications.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) defines a broadband signal of at least 768 Kbps downstream (down to the user) and at least 200 Kbps upstream (up to the network). Consider this as a baseline definition of broadband. Most broadband applications involve megabit per second (Mbps) to gigabit per second (Gbps) speeds.

Broadband Internet access, or simply, broadband, is important because it facilitates high-speed connections to the Internet that enable Web brows-ing, email and text messaging, file transfer, picture and video sharing, social and business networking, and e-commerce. More important, broadband must be accessible to customers in all markets - urban, suburban, small town and rural.

When the Internet was first introduced, people and businesses could access it via a remote computer, or server, over a dial-up telephone connection from their desktop computer.

The problem is that dial-up connections are very slow, at least in computer terms. An analog modem transmits a maximum bandwidth of 56 kilo-bits per seconds (Kbps) over a copper telephone line. The connection is handled within the bandwidth of a voice channel, namely 64 Kbps, and is referred to as a narrowband connection.

The need for faster Internet access drove the development of new broad-band technologies.

With the introduction of digital subscriber line (DSL) technology, DSL mo-dems connected to a telephone line can now transmit a broadband signal at multi-megabit speeds. Similarly, data transmission over fiber optic can achieve broadband transmission at multiple Mbps and Gbps speeds.

Broadband wireless involves transmission of digital signals at megabit speeds over the air. These signals can be transmitted over either 3G cellular networks (GSM/HSPA or CDMA/EV-DO), or 4G (WiMAX and LTE) broadband wireless networks.

‘Buy American’ Provision

The Recovery Act appropriates $2.5 billion in budget authority to RUS to establish BIP, through which RUS will provide grants, loans, and loan/grant combinations for broadband initiatives throughout the United States, including Last Mile infrastructure projects in rural areas. Similarly, the Recovery Act appropri-ates $4.7 billion in budget authority to NTIA to establish BTOP, through which NTIA will provide grants for Middle Mile and other broadband-related projects throughout the United States.

Section 1605(a) of the Recovery Act, the ‘‘Buy American’’ provi-sion, states that none of the funds appropriated by the Act, including the funds that have been dedicated BIP, ‘‘may be used for a project for the construction, alteration, maintenance, or re-pair of a public building or public work unless all of the iron, steel, and manufactured goods used in the project are produced in the United States.’’ (see Note 1)

Sections 1605(b) and (c) of the Recovery Act authorize the head of a Federal department or agency to waive the Buy American provision by finding that: (1) applying the provision would be inconsistent with the public interest; (2) the relevant manufac-tured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality; or (3) the inclusion of the manufactured goods produced in the United States will increase the cost of the project by more than 25 percent.

If the head of the Federal department or agency determines that it is necessary to waive application of the Buy American provi-sion, then the head of the department or agency shall publish a detailed justification in the Federal Register. Finally, the Recovery Act states that the Buy American provision must be applied in a manner consistent with the United States’ obligations under international agreements.

Note 1: Because the Buy American provision applies only to public works and public buildings, completely private projects need not obtain a waiver to utilize iron, steel, and manufactured goods produced outside of the United States. However, public-private partnerships are considered public for purposes of the Buy American limitation.

TESSCO’s products meet the ‘Buy American’ provision unless otherwise indicated.

Last Mile Wireless Solutions

OverviewThe Last Mile Wireless refers to an over-the-air connection from a base station to a residential or small business customer that needs a high-speed Internet connection. In such instances, a wireless connection is the best choice since the customer cannot obtain suit-able Internet access either because the existing wired plant will not support high-speed connections to that location or because it is not economical for the carrier to extend a wired connection to the customer, particularly if the customer is a long distance from the serving central office.

In-Building Coverage Solutions

Overview Wireless communications within buildings can be deployed at lower capital costs and offer operating efficiencies in faster deployment and mobility of resources to the users than wired systems. However, implementing wireless communications within a building has unique operating conditions and criteria that must be met. The building structure and walls can impede the transmission of wireless signals. High-quality wireless transmission of IP voice and data traffic is accomplished by placing Wi-Fi access points at key locations around the building. These APs are then connected back to a central location for a linkage to wide area networks outside the building.

Middle Mile Wireless Backhaul Solutions

Overview Rural/small market network deployments, by their remote nature, create backhaul challenges for wireless carriers where wired plant is scarce. Today, wireless backhaul mainly consists of TDM (T1 or DS3) circuits over copper pairs leased from the local telephone company whose cables run near cell sites. These leased circuits offer limited transport capacity and are not designed to handle a mix of voice and data traffic, particularly IP data.

New high-capacity, point-to-point microwave systems can transport either native Ethernet (10/100/1000BaseT), or hybrid TDM/Ethernet traffic, at wireline carrier-grade reliability levels.

Microwave backhaul systems allow RF engineers to mount antennas on a variety of support structures (water towers, power line towers, silos, steeples, multi-story buildings.)


ApplicationsMicrowave backhaul facilities can be configured different ways, depending on the market, and the number and mix of customers served. These configurations are:

Core Network Backhaul: provides a high-bandwidth (Gigabit per second) connection from an Internet peering point into a market via high-capacity licensed point-to-point (PTP) microwave link.

Redundant Ring Network Backhaul: a number of base sta-tions or nodes connected in a continuous path. Each node routes traffic on and off the ring, and connects to exactly two other nodes, one in each direction, to form a single route. The size of the ring depends on the markets served. For redun-dancy, each node includes intelligent switching that can be remotely controlled via software.

Network Access Link Backhaul: high-capacity backhaul that transports traffic between a base station and distribution hub(s) such as those serving a campus or industrial complex.

Tower & Rooftop Site Solutions

Overview Towers and monopoles are integral components for wireless networks that require height to reach the intended coverage area. There are several structural options from which to choose. Each option has its own features and benefits, and choosing the best option for a given site is important. If the net present value of future lease payments is greater than the total cost of erecting a tower, then erect-ing a tower is the best choice. If an existing tower is not feasible for your network, then a new structure or leased rooftop space is a consideration.


Structural OptionsFive types of towers can be considered for a given site instal-lation, depending upon the operating parameters of each site. The optional tower structures are:•Guyedtower•Bracketedguyedtower•Self-supportingtower•Lightweightself-supportingtower•Monopole

Each tower is different due to its geographic location and wind-loading capabilities. What follows are general guidelines for deciding appropriate tower type selections. When it’s time to make a decision, be sure to use the online TESSCO Tower Calculation Form, found on www.tessco.com/go/towercalcula-tor, to make the best choice that meets your needs.

Guyed Tower• Idealforheightsover200feet•Requiressignificantinstallationfootprintto accommodate guy anchors•Hassignificantwind-loadingcapacity

Rooftop & Existing Structures

Overview A rooftop is often an ideal location for a wireless network installation, especially in suburban and urban areas. It is important that this type of antenna mounting system is securely installed, not only to meet network specifications, but also to reduce the potential for theft of recyclable parts and damage by vandals.

Rooftops can provide the height required for proper operation, without the necessity of erecting a tower or monopole in areas with difficult zoning requirements. Also, most rooftop locations can be used without lease negotiations because the network user is likely to be leasing the office or warehouse space already.

Additional Design Considerations•Doestheexistingleaseallowforpenetrationoftheroof?• Isthereeasyaccesstotherooforisacranerequired?• Isvandalismortheftaconcern?•Howhighofftheroofdoestheantennaneedtobe mounted?• Isthereanexistingstructuresecuredtotheroofthatcan beusedasamountingbase?

Real World ExampleSituation: A wireless carrier needs to enhance its coverage in an urban area.

Problem: There is no land available to erect a tower or monopole.

Solution: The carrier approaches several building owners about leasing their rooftop space for a new wireless site. After signing a lease, the carrier’s tower contractor installs the site using four roof-top sector frames, running the cable via an aluminum ladder tray to a “dog house” that transitions the cable into the cabinet located in the building’s HVAC room. Using the building’s riser, the carrier connects its cabinet to the carrier’s fiber optic backhaul network.

Network Optimization Solutions


Overview Testing a network by taking measurements at all key locations is a requirement for optimum system performance. If any piece of a network is not operating at peak performance, it will impact the user experience and, as a result, the revenue that the network generates.

In any communications system, there are two phases of network testing that every operator must conduct - build-out and preventative maintenance.

At the build-out phase, network baseline tests are conducted to verify that:•Thenetworkelementswerehandledproperlyandinstalledcorrectly•Thephysicalconnectionsarecompleteandtheinstallationiscorrect•Therearetherightcomponentsforthefrequencyanddesignofthesystem•Thesenetworkelementsrespondandperformasspecified

The preventative maintenance, or troubleshooting phase, requires that:•Thesignalitselfisinspectedtoensurethatitisattheproperlevels•Thesignalenvelopeiscorrect•Thesignalqualityisacceptable
