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
