  1. White Spaces: Backhaul What is the Opportunity? Stephen E. Coran Rini Coran, PC scoran@rinicoran.com September 13, 2011

  2. Overview of Technical Rules Fixed operations permitted on TV channels 2-51, except Channels 3, 4 and 37 Maximum of 4 Watts EIRP for fixed operations Base station height restricted to maximum of 30 meters AGL and maximum of 76 meters HAAT for tower site

  3. Overview of Technical Rules • Fixed TVBDs must avoid co-channel and first-adjacent channels • Channel must be available as determined by database, and operations on channel must cease if database indicates channel no longer available • TVBDs must be equipped with automatic power control to limit operating power to the minimum necessary for successful communication

  4. Status in the United States • Experimental operations ongoing • Equipment certifications in process • Ten database administrators “tentatively selected” • Interoperability among databases and with devices ongoing • FCC considering petitions for reconsideration for fixed operations, but issues should not delay roll-out • WISPA and others have sought increase in maximum HAAT of location to 250 meters and increase in maximum AGL for base stations to 75 meters, with corresponding increases in incumbent buffer zones • Motorola and others have sought to permit equipment with a relaxed spectral mask alongside restrictive mask in rules to increase throughput/coverage and lower equipment and deployment costs

  5. Our Panel • James Carlson, Carlson Wireless Technologies • Darrin Mylet, Adaptrum • Paul Egan, Neul Ltd

  6. Topics • The Business Model • Urban or rural • Big carrier or small carrier • Mobile or fixed • The Risks • Unlicensed and non-exclusive spectrum • Legislation and regulation • The Opportunities • Growing need for more spectrum for backhaul and middle-mile • Database management possibilities • Low spectrum cost
