The Radio (eNodeB/eNB)
Equipment Used
- Baicells Nova 233 (datasheet)
- Paired antenna: Alpha Wireless AW-3014-T4 (datasheet)
- Meant for long-range/outdoor deployment
- Baicells Nova 227 (datasheet)
- Meant for short-range/microcell
- Integrated antenna
Configuration
- eNB was configured per documentation from the Seattle Community Network (SCN)
- Because our controller/EPC will not be directly attached to the radio, we will configure the Baicells' WAN interface to be DHCP (see more about the NYC Mesh implementation here)
- The MME IP will always be 10.70.90.170 to use the Open5GS server at SN3, routed through the Mesh network
- Because the Google SAS product is paid software we are using the account from UW's local connectivity lab
- To sign configurations, a CPI License is still needed - otherwise we would have to ask another licensed CPI to sign the configuration any time a change is made (this is attached to a person, not an organization)
- The PLMN used by SCN (as we are using their SIM cards) is 91054
- Because our controller/EPC will not be directly attached to the radio, we will configure the Baicells' WAN interface to be DHCP (see more about the NYC Mesh implementation here)
