8. www.wirelessapplications.com Spectrum - How is it used? The FCC has a huge challenge as the complexity of the Nation’s so many technology dreams, ended up with many areas of inefficiencies. How big is this whole PCS cell phone thing? There are approximately 152 different Radio Service Types in today’s Spectrum
11. Hugely complicated, the TV White Space play involves massive calculations for the existing FCC rules. WAC has created a fully functional interface with the complete Longely-Rice, FCC mandated Propagation Curves. This involved a lengthy 1970’s Fortran code conversion. Finding a true area for transmitting is tougher then the FCC wants you to believe. White Space – TV empty areas, or are they?
12. www.wirelessapplications.com Sites – Structure Types For deployment of the wireless world requires infrastructure. Structures which can be nearly anything from towers, buildings, bridges, utility towers, water tanks to stealth installs of trees or even a cactus. These are needed for attaching the equipment and generating coverage. There are approximately 340,000 individual structures in the USA Types
13. www.wirelessapplications.com Demographics Know your target audience. - Does your system cover the potential population you are trying to obtain as subscribers? - Does it cover businesses? - How many cars drive by? Population and Density Average Annual Daily Traffic counts Business Density
14. www.wirelessapplications.com Microwave and Networks To make the systems route the subscriber data, all the transmitting locations must be connected back to a switch or central hub. Routing these points together is traditionally done via landline and Microwave ( through the air connections ) and Satellite. In today’s market the connectivity has grown to a number of providers including Fiber and Cable supplying the much needed higher data rates. Fastest deployment is microwave
15. www.wirelessapplications.com RF Coverage - Propagation With any system there is always the question of that technology’s reach. RF or Radio Frequency also known as Propagation, is generated and displayed using signal strength. As discussed with the Spectrum frequencies section, the lower frequencies penetrate materials and the higher ones reflect. Running propagation models allows engineers to view and tweak their systems both before and after their designs. There are numerous calculation models, engineering methods and many ways to perfect the designs. In the end, real life deployment and the time of year in reference to foliage growth morph your best efforts. Typical propagation outputs

47. Pre-interference calculations, Coordination (PCN) Run full coordination discrimination interference analysis on each the potential paths against all existing paths. For each potential path, interference analysis can be calculated against every existing path in that band and others. We check every possible pair which meets bandwidth requirements for interference against all the existing paths in that band. We do this by checking discrimination angles, frequency separation and line-of-site site (mtn might be in the way) clearances. We then calculate the margin to objective and verify that it is within tolerances. We use all previously calculated averages found for the area as the “Interfering Path” parameters. Interference to Victim calculations – per ‘All Paths’ checking. Stage 4 (optional) Look at existing and determine how many channels are available per band with no interference, over how many total.
48. Generate a potential system All the data from WAC ratings, the input parameters, best Hubs, best links, best sites are used to suggest a starting point network to use, we call a Scenario. If you like the Scenario, then this entire output is also sitting in our ‘ Portfolio Path Design ’ area for applying a cookie cutter Microwave radio/antenna budget all at once, to all paths in that Scenario….in a Flash! Stage 5 Check your entire link-budget outputs for hundreds of links in minutes. Want to design each more? They are also moved to our ‘ Full MW design’ section for your engineering tweaks. Want to Coordinate and File? We are approved FCC Coordinators and have even built this section into our SiteSync tool , just tell us which paths are ready to go! Want to look at who is already using bands in the area? Run our ‘ Information About Area Paths ’ link and see all existing licensed MW frequencies, their average lengths, modulations of more. Want it? License a per user seat today, that too is Dirt Simple . Automation for the entire Scenario to be processed through your Link-budgets
49. For Path verifications, run our built-in full link-budget for the band in that area using typical equipment choices, then assign it as a Template to be used in TNT ! Availability = “5-Nines” (99.999) Checks

51. SiteSync Pro – API Suite Launched August 2010 "The Telecom API Suite is a well thought out, well organized, logically structured interface. Adding it to your site would be like finding the perfect car wax for your Audi; it takes a sports car and makes it shine.“ -Steve McConnell CEO Construx Software
52. eCoverage eMwave Spectrum MW Search Structures We give easy examples of usage for each of our major telecom areas. In each, we show users “How we use it” here at WAC, then how they can use simple Methods to Call the API and use it for their product interface.
53.
54. SiteSync Pro – API Suite Traditional process for having the FCC, FAA and Tower Company databases show towers in any application. o Buy Hardware, such as a server and typical set up for internet. o Buy associated software for serving the site and database service such as SQL, ACCESS, ORACLE. o Download and get familiar with the multiple databases and types. - FCC databases (there are about 15 different ones) are in zipped text formats, you will need the ASRs, MW apps and more. - FAA, there is a large OEAAA database in multiple text formats. - Tower Companies are increasingly hard to get data from either through their sites or by request. They are generally in Excel formats. o Construct the field header layouts for each and construct relational database association. - Some call a structure height “tip”, some “Tower”, some “AGL”, some don’t have it. - Some have null data in fields you need, some have misc ascii characters in fields you are not expecting. - The formats can change frequently between updates from any of the sources. - Data is generally polluted with bad records or data. Records that should have been deleted, or duplications, lots of duplications. o Set up a input form or query interface for each. o Maintain the entire process every week as there can be thousands of changes. o Create a mapping interface for display. o Police the queries for ‘overflow’, bugs, errors and such. OR run the same request through our API ! o Sign up to the WAC API method and simply request the following string; http://WAC API/structures/getByLatLon/?lat=39.9255&lon=-105.0899&api_key= (user key)
