What are our goals?
How do we match available: base station equipment, on-air frequencies and mobile stations?
LTE frequency bands (from Ivan)
Gregg Tome: Airspan has equipment that operates at 2.6GHz (but this is outside of EBS band)
Tod Sizer: Have used commercial small cells operating at low power, borrowed commercial spectrum, and commercial devices, in a lab setting.
Ivan and Tod: There is available open-source back-end software (Fraunhoffer?)
Walt: Has equipment to test for LTE in public safety, from General Dynamics/IPWireless
What are next steps?
- Tod to talk with Ray and Ivan
- Suman to organize calls/meetings
