encrypted keys or other security features associated with any Binary
Code that has been provided or licensed under this Agreement.
2.6 Grant Back License. In partial consideration of the License granted
herein by Nortel Networks, Licensee hereby grants to Nortel Networks
and its Manufacturing Licensees, to the full extent of its legal right
to do so, an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully-paid up,
royalty-free, worldwide license under any patents or patent
applications that Licensee owns or acquires that relate to the
Technology or Technology IP
2.7 Specific Acknowledgments. (i) Licensee acknowledges that Licensee shall
be solely responsible for integrating, manufacturing and obtaining any
required government or regulatory approvals for Licensee Products and
any associated services. (ii) Nortel Networks represents that if it
fails to meet the scheduled delivery date set out in an accepted
purchase order under the Supply Agreement, then 30 days after that
scheduled delivery date, Licensee shall have the right to request
Nortel Networks to provide any and all documentation and information
relating to the manufacture of the FWA Products (the "Licensee
Request"), and Nortel Networks shall be obligated to provide such
documentation and information within a period no longer than thirty
(30) days after such Licensee Request. Additionally, for the purposes
of obtaining information relating to the manufacture of the FWA
Products, Licensee shall have the right to send one of its employees,
solely at Licensee's expense, to observe the manufacture, if any, of
FWA Products at the appropriate Nortel Networks facility, subject to
Licensee's and its employee's compliance with Nortel Networks
then-current confidentiality and safety policies and procedures. In the
event that such information and documentation is insufficient to allow
Axtel to manufacture the FWA Products, Nortel Networks will make its
best efforts to provide further information or documentation to allow
the manufacture of the FWA Products, or it may offer reasonable
assistance, for a reasonable fee, that Axtel may require for such
purposes.
2.8 Third Party Components. Except at expressly set out herein, this
Agreement does not grant Licensee any rights to copy, modify,
manufacture, distribute or use (in any manner) any third party hardware
or software, including any Third Party Components identified in
Schedule A. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensee must acquire
from suppliers of any third party hardware or software, including the
Third Party Components, all rights necessary to provide services using
Licensee Products containing software and hardware supplied by such
third parties or covered by intellectual property rights owned by such
third parties, and to create, manufacture, and use such Licensee
Products. Licensee shall be solely responsible for payment of all
applicable third party royalties and license fees directly to the
applicable third party licensors and/or suppliers. To the extent to
which Nortel Networks has paid-up license rights that are assignable
(or sublicensable) with respect to the use of such Third Party
Components in the FWA Product, Nortel Networks will assign (or
sublicense) such rights to Licensee on a non-exclusive basis without
additional consideration payable to Nortel Networks. To the extent to
which any such rights cannot be assigned (or sublicensed), Nortel
Networks will grant to Licensee a non-exclusive right to source such
Third Party Components without additional consideration payable to
Nortel Networks and Nortel Networks will provide commercially
reasonable assistance to Licensee to obtain such Third Party Components
directly from such third party suppliers.
2.9 Event of Default. For the purposes of this Agreement, "Event of Default"
shall mean
(a) a general product discontinuance of the FWA Product by Nortel
Networks,
Page 6
(b) a material failure by Nortel Networks for any reason, other than a
reason contemplated under the Supply Agreement, through no fault of
Licensee, to supply FWA Product to Licensee within 120 days of the
scheduled delivery date set out in an accepted purchase order under
the Supply Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, "material failure" shall
mean Nortel Networks' failure to deliver, in a period of 120 days of
the relevant scheduled delivery date, the amount of product which is
essential for the business objective of the relevant purchase order.
Furthermore, Nortel Networks acknowledges that Licensee, by exercising
its rights under this Agreement, shall not relinquish any of its
rights under the Supply Agreement.
2.10 Insolvency. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this
Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of
Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or other applicable
bankruptcy or insolvency laws, licenses of rights to "intellectual
property" as defined under Section 101 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or
comparable sections). The parties agree that Licensee shall retain and
may fully exercise its rights and elections under the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code or other applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The parties
further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy
proceeding by or against either party under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise, the party that is not a party to such proceedings shall be
entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as
appropriate) any such intellectual property and all embodiments of such
intellectual property, and the same, if not already in their
possession, shall be delivered to them (i) in the event of any such
commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding, upon their written request
therefore, unless the party subject to such proceeding (or trustee on
behalf of the subject party) elects to continue to perform all of its
obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) if not delivered under (i)
above, upon the rejection of this Agreement by or on behalf of the
party subject to such proceeding upon written request therefore by the
non-party.

IF ANY) EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND
CONDITIONS, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION OR CONDITION OF TITLE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT (SUBJECT TO SECTION 6.0), MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR
SUITABILITY FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE (EVEN IF ON NOTICE OF SUCH
PURPOSE), CUSTOM OR USAGE IN THE TRADE.

BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST
BUSINESS, LOST SAVINGS, LOST DATA, AND LOST PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF THE
CAUSE AND WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT (INCLUDING FUNDAMENTAL BREACH),
TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
5.3. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the exclusions of liability
contained herein are reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances
and were a material factor in concluding this Agreement.
6.0 Indemnification
6.1. Licensee shall defend and indemnify Nortel Networks from any and all claims
and actions brought against Nortel Networks by any third party, and shall
hold Nortel Networks harmless from all corresponding damages, penalties,
liabilities, costs and expenses, (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred by Nortel Networks arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement, including but not limited to Licensee's exercise of its rights
granted in this Agreement, or arising out of or in connection with
Licensee's use, sale, lease, license or provision of Licensee Products and
any associated services.
6.2. Nortel Networks shall indemnify and hold harmless Licensee, its officers,
directors, representatives, agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors,
subsidiaries and affiliates against any actual direct loss, damage,
liability, cost, expense, action or claim, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, litigation costs and expenses and amounts paid in settlement, subject
to the limitations set forth in the following paragraphs, arising out of or
in connection with any Infringement Claim. Nortel Networks will defend
Licensee against an Infringement Claim at Nortel Networks' expense and pay
all costs and damages that a court finally awards or are agreed in
settlement, provided that Licensee: (a) promptly notifies Nortel Networks
in writing of the Infringement Claim, and (b) allows Nortel Networks to
control, and cooperates with Nortel Networks at Nortel Networks' expense
in, the defense and any related
Page 9
settlement negotiations. If such an Infringement Claim is made or appears
likely to be made, Nortel Networks agrees to secure the right for Licensee
to continue to use the Technology, or use its best efforts to assist the
Licensee to modify it, or to replace it with equivalent Technology. If
Nortel Networks determines that none of these options is reasonably
available, Nortel Networks may upon thirty (30) days notice terminate the
rights of the Licensee under this Agreement, such termination will not in
any way limit Nortel Networks obligations with respect to any Infringement
Claim arising out of events occurring prior to the effective date of
termination. This represents Licensee's sole and exclusive remedy regarding
any claim of infringement.
6.3. Nortel Networks has no obligation regarding any claim based on any of the
following: (a) anything Licensee provides which is incorporated into the
Licensee Product; (b) the amount of revenues or profits earned or other
value obtained by the use of a Licensee Product by Licensee or its End
Users; (c) Licensee's modification of Technology; (d) the combination,
operation, or use of Technology with any product, data, or apparatus that
Nortel Networks did not provide; (e) the Licensee's failure to install or
have installed changes, revisions or updates as instructed by Nortel
Networks; or (f) infringement by a Third Party Vendor Item alone, as
opposed to its combination with Products Nortel Networks provided to
Licensee as a system.
6.4. In case of any infringement caused by any Third Party Vendor Item, Nortel
Networks shall reasonably cooperate with Licensee and hereby assigns to
Licensee any of its rights to request the proper defense and
indemnification for such claim to such Third Party Vendor. Nortel Networks
shall provide Licensee with all necessary contact information and
applicable documentation, if available, for those third party vendors.
Furthermore, Nortel Networks shall use its best efforts to provide
reasonable assistance to Licensee for Licensee to be able to obtain from
the Third Party Vendor the applicable defense and indemnification for such
Third Party Vendor Item infringement, but only to the extent such
assistance does not cause Nortel Networks to incur any out-of-pocket
expenses or material additional costs.
7.0 CONFIDENTIALITY
7.1. Confidential Information. Any Confidential Information received by
Licensee pursuant to this Agreement shall be used, disclosed, or
copied, only for the purposes of, and only in accordance with, this
Agreement. Licensee shall use, as a minimum, the same degree of care as
it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar
nature, but no less than reasonable care, to prevent the unauthorized
use, disclosure or publication of Confidential Information. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(a) Licensee shall only disclose Confidential Information to its bona fide
employees, agents, Contractors or End Users who need to obtain access
thereto consistent with Licensee's license and sublicense rights under
this Agreement;
(b) Licensee shall not make or have made any copies of Confidential
Information except those copies which are necessary for the purposes
of this Agreement; and
(c) Licensee shall affix to any copies it makes of the Confidential
Information, all proprietary notices or legends affixed to the
Confidential Information as they appear on the copies of the
Confidential Information originally received from Nortel Networks.
7.2. Persons with Access. Licensee acknowledges that Nortel Networks
Confidential Information associated with Technology and/or Technology IP is
Nortel Networks' sole and exclusive property. Therefore, in addition to the
confidentiality obligations Licensee assumes in Section 7.1 above,
Page 10
Licensee also agrees to devote its best efforts to ensure that all persons
afforded access to Confidential Information associated with Technology
and/or Technology IP protect such Confidential Information against
unauthorized dissemination or disclosure and that all employees and
Contractors sign a written Confidentiality and Intellectual Property
Agreement containing substantially similar terms to the provisions
contained in this Agreement.
7.3. Exclusions. Licensee shall not be bound by obligations restricting
disclosure and use set forth in this Agreement with respect to any
Confidential Information that is not part of Technology or Technology
IP, which:
(a) was known by Licensee prior to disclosure, as evidenced by its
business records;
(b) was lawfully in the public domain prior to its disclosure, or lawfully
becomes publicly available other than through a breach of this
Agreement or any other confidentiality obligation on behalf of any
third party;
(c) was disclosed to Licensee by a third party provided such third party,
or any other party from whom such third party receives such
information, is not in breach of any confidentiality obligation in
respect of such information;
(d) is independently developed by Licensee, as evidenced by its business
records; or
(e) is disclosed when such disclosure is compelled pursuant to legal,
judicial, or administrative proceedings, or otherwise required by law,
provided that Licensee advises Nortel Networks of any such disclosure
in a timely manner prior to making any such disclosure (so that either
Party can apply for such legal protection as may be available with
respect to the confidentiality of the information which is to be
disclosed), and provided that Licensee shall apply for such legal
protection as may be available with respect to the confidentiality of
the Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed.
7.4. Return of Confidential Information. Immediately upon termination of
this Agreement, Licensee shall return to Nortel Networks all
Confidential Information and all copies thereof, or, if so directed by
Nortel Networks, shall immediately destroy such Confidential
Information and all copies thereof and shall certify such destruction
to Nortel Networks. Except for the documentation that Licensee requires
to operate and support the FWA Products already installed in their
Licensee Network.
7.5. Notice of Disclosures. Except for disclosures authorized under the
terms of this Agreement, Licensee shall notify Nortel Networks
immediately upon learning of any disclosure of Nortel Networks'
Confidential Information.

SCHEDULE A:
TECHNOLOGY
Much of the documentation listed below is held on Nortel Proprietary databases.
Access to theses databases would be made available in the event of the TLA
coming into force.
The following describes the resources required to enable a third party to build
and maintain all FWA operating software from source code in the event of change
of ownership. The scope of this document is limited to software for system
releases SR13 and SR14.
This document does not include software and systems used to test the software
prior to release to a customer.
Section A 1.1 Documentation
Nearly all FWA software design Documentation (both current and archive) is
stored on the European Livelink Server in a hierarchical fashion. The Server URL
is (http://eur-livelink.europe.nortel.com). The following project folders are
applicable to FWA software development: -
o FWA Core Library: Line Interface Specifications for RSS Code and archive
material
o FWA Environment: Livelink Project Hierarchy etc.
o Internet FWA Development Project: Software Design Documents
o FWA Admin and Department: Quality Documents
o Some older documents are currently stored in the Nortel PLS system
(MDIVDOC).
The document FWA-ENV Folder Structure.doc located in the Livelink project Folder
`FWA Environment' describes the document storage hierarchy.
These Livelink folders contain confidential data for all FWA developments and
customers and not all of it is required for the licensee, and access to those
areas would be restricted. Section B 1.2 Source Code All FWA source code is
maintained using two different source code control and configuration management
systems.
The REM and FET software is managed using MDE (Multi-Site Development
Environment) which is a proprietary Nortel tool. However standard Unix SCCS
tools can be used to view and maintain the source code if required. The source
code is stored on server pnd-project-pp3. The NFS mount points are currently
/project/fra/rem and /project/fra/fet.
All other software is managed using Clearcase.
Source code for each Network Element is stored in Clearcase Versioned Object
Bases (VOBs) on the SUN Server zmdhs000. The applicable VOB names used for the
Axtel SR13/SR14 product are as follows: -
F5 RTU and RDA : g_rss
F2 RTU : fra_rss
ITS (TPM,TTM,TPM-PD) : fra_its_d, fra_dsp , fra_pdsp, v52
ASEM : pd_asem
RMT : fra_rmt
TMU : fra_tmu
Page 17
TBM-CD : tbm_cd
MIB : fra_mibpd
Tools : tools (Third Party Tools compilers etc.)
Details of the tools required and how to build the software can be found in
various Process/Work Instruction documents stored in Livelink with the other FWA
documentation. The top-level documents are: -
Airside Software : MQAPR622 - Airside software module release procedure Issue
1.1, Livelink Location : FWA Admin And Department/QUA/UNC/Airside Development
FET : QUA-PRO FET Build, Release and Sanity Process Instruction, Version 0.1,
Livelink Folder : FWA Core Library/QUA/PRO
REM : FWA REM Loadbuild Guide , Doc ID: REMLDBLD, Version AB02, Located in: PLS
MDIVDOC
The term `Airside Software' is used for all operating FWA software apart from
the REM and FET.
Once the software has been built the processes to release the software onto
CDROM are described in several documents located at Livelink Folder FWA Core
Library/QUA/SR. Section C 1.3 Object Code All FWA software (bootcode,
applications and scripts) is stored in the `FWA Software release folder`
/mdn05/fwa/software currently located on server pnd-tools-pp4. The system
release notes, engineering data files and sysrel files are also stored here. The
Product Engineering Codes (PECs) and associated software version numbers for
each network element required for a specific system release are defined within
the system release note.
Software required in OEM production is also stored within the manufacturing
database (DDME) and is included in the relevant Bill Of Materials (BOM)
referenced by PEC.
2 Hardware:
Formal Nortel Networks hardware design information is stored in the `design
delivery management environment' (DDME) database. DDME is a Nortel proprietary
database storing design information from which the product can be manufactured.
GDL is the Global Documentation Library for use with DDME from which all the
documentation associated with DDME can be retrieved.
Other hardware design information (both current and archive) is stored on the
European Live-link Server in a hierarchical fashion. The Server URL is
(http://eur-livelink.europe.nortel.com). The following project folders are
applicable to FWA hardware development:
o EMEA - Enterprise: FWA: Prox I hardware archive
o EMEA - Enterprise: FWA: Internet FWA Development Project:-: HW - Hardware
Design
The tables below list the main hardware components, their Nortel identification
number (PEC code) and the key design / manufacturing documents. Table A1
provides a list of ITS sub-modules whilst table A2 provides a list for the RSS
and RIS.

(Ameritec AM-5) Packet traffic generator (`PTG' - proprietary Nortel Networks
equipment based on Linux PC) General purpose test gear including signal
generators, oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers etc.
Section C 6.3 Manufacturing (production test)
1. 6.3.1 RTU and board level test set
The Manufacturing process of the RTU requires the transceiver board (RMB) is
calibrated and tested before being integrated with the antenna (RTU) and body.
The test sets are 2- meter high 19-inch racks containing proprietary test
equipment.
o Spectrum analyser
o RF pulse power meter
o RF signal/modulation generator
o DVM
o DC power supply.
o Frequency counter
o Pulse generator
o Ruggedised PC (for industrial environments)
o Audio Analyser
o A test fixture (RF tray) connected via spring loaded pins to the board
under test. The test set requires a compressed air supply to operate the
fixture and an external 10MHz-frequency reference signal.
Page 27
The test set is fully automated controlled by the PC through a Visual Basic test
programme and takes approximately 4.5 minuets to complete the electrical
parametric tests Once fully assembled the RTU is placed in a 1 meter anechoic
chamber and connected to the verification test set. This contains proprietary
test equipment.
o DC power supply
o RF pulse power meter
o RS232 interface module
o DVM
o Ruggedised PC (for industrial environments)
The test set is full automated and again completes the electrical testing with
the aid of a Visual Basic test programme.
2. 6.3.2 TMU Production Test Set
This test set performs the functional tests on the complete TMU as defined in
production spec XSEG77XX.
The following proprietary test equipment is housed in racks, with the TMU's to
be tested brought up on custom trolleys.

test box and to perform code downloads to the TMU.
3. 6.3.3 TBM-CD Production Test Set.
This test set consists of two 2-metre equipment racks and an adjacent bench.
The process of production testing is fully automated, controlled by a PC, once
the TBM-CD board to be tested has been installed. A diagnostic / engineering
mode is available for product repair etc.
The test software to implement test spec XSEG72AD has been rewritten using
"LabView", originally in Visual Basic.
Page 28
The equipment racks contain the following proprietary test equipment, all
programmable.
o Spectrum Analyser
o RF power Meter
o Wide band variable noise source
o Signal generator providing "pi/4-QPSK" modulation
o Signal generator providing CW interferer signals
o DC power supply and current monitoring o Ruggedised PC (for industrial
environments)
o RF trays containing switches, amplifiers, ferrite isolators and directional
couplers
The adjacent bench houses a frame into which the TBM-CD to be tested is
positioned to connect to a special interface card, the "CDIC".
The TBM-CD to be tested has to be loaded with a special "test-code" download to
permit the CDIC to control functions. The CDIC is under PC control. At the end
of a successful functional test, "operational" code is then downloaded. These
download functions require a dedicated BDM box assigned to the test set.

PLA FWA Contract
1. Scope
1.1 This section defines the essential performance characteristics of the
Nortel Networks Internet Fixed Wireless Access system (Internet FWA). The
scope of the section is confined to the airside equipment that supports
wireless transmission in the local loop, i.e. that part of the system from
the Base-station network interface to the subscriber premises terminal
interface (telephone socket), together with associated network management
operations systems in the element management layer. The specifications for
the switch, service gateway and other associated backhaul equipment are
therefore specifically excluded from this section.
2.1 General description
2.1.1 Intentionally Left in Blank
2.1.1.1 Purpose of Internet FWA
The Internet FWA system allows telecommunications operators to construct
high quality telephone access networks between customers' premises and
local exchanges. The system uses cellular point to multi-point wireless
technology as a replacement for traditional copper-based local loops. A
major advantage of FWA technology is that it allows operators to create new
access networks quickly and with minimum capital investment.
Each terminal in the Internet FWA system is capable of delivering PSTN
circuit-switched services through two standard analogue telephone lines. In
addition to the PSTN services, a packet-mode service may be used to deliver
`always-on' connections between one or more Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) and the computer equipment of subscribers.
The Internet FWA system provides a frequency division duplex radio link to
a subscriber transceiver system and operates in the 3.4 to 3.6 GHz band.
The air interface utilizes time division multiplex on the downlink and time
division multiple access on the uplink. The system comprises a network of
Radio Base-stations (RBS) arranged on a cellular plan and these are
connected to the PSTN or to the public Internet by a conventional back-haul
network. Each base-station consists of one or more Integrated Transceiver
Systems (ITSs).
2.1.2 Sub-systems
The Internet FWA system contains two Network elements (NEs):
o Remote Service System (RSS)
o Radio Base Station (RBS)
The Internet FWA system contains three Operations systems (OSs):
o Radio Element Manager (REM)
o RSS Installation System (RIS)
o Field Engineering Terminal (FET)
Page 2
Annex D -Product Specifications
Purchase and License Agreement for FWA Equipment
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Remote Service System (RSS)
This system provides the subscriber with two independent analogue exchange
lines and optionally a packet data service interface. The system consists
of the RSS Terminal Unit (RTU), an RSS Power and Connection unit (RPCU) and
an RSS Data Adapter (RDA).
The RTU is mounted externally to the subscriber premises and contains a
directional antenna, radio electronics and the two analogue line interfaces
to carry PSTN services. The unit is powered from the RPCU indoor unit that
plugs into the subscribers mains supply. A `drop cable' connects the RTU to
the RPCU. The RPCU contains two sets of telephone sockets for connection to
the subscriber's telephone equipment. In order to provide the optional
packet data service, an RDA is supplied along with a special version of the
RTU that contains the required data interface. The packet data service
makes use of the HPNA standard to multiplex the data onto `line 0' of the
telephone wires. The RDA connects to the subscriber's personal computer.
The Integrated Transceiver System (ITS)
One or more ITSs form the basis of the radio base-station and have been
designed to serve an area of up to 5km radius in a typical urban
environment and up to 20km in a rural environment.
Voice band circuits from the ITS are connected to the switch by means of E1
links running a V5.2 protocol. The packet data service is also routed over
E1 links to the service gateway using L2TP (layer 2 tunnel protocol). The
ITS can route any slot from the `circuit' E1s to any slot on the airside
interface.
In principle, an ITS can be provisioned as a 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 or 18 bearer
configuration. RBS configurations specifically supported by installation
and maintenance processes provide tri-sectored configurations with 18 or
27(1) RF carriers, or a tri/hex-sectored RBS with 48 RF carriers. The
27-carrier configurations require the use of two ITSs, and the 48-carrier
configuration requires the use of three ITSs. The 48 bearer base-station is
designed to provide coverage in two `RF layers', the first layer allowing a
frequency re-use of one to be employed whilst a more conservative frequency
plan is used in the other layer. Service to the individual RSS can be
switched between these two layers depending on the interference environment
experienced at that RSS.
Radio Element Manager (REM)
The Radio Element Manger (REM) is a high performance, high capacity
management system and is used to perform the Operation, Administration,
Maintenance and Provisioning (OAM&P) procedures for the Internet FWA
network. One REM can manage up to 200 ITSs and 150,000lines. The REM is
primarily composed of a server platform, a client platform, additional user
PCs and a Network Communications Server. Their respective purposes are
described below. The REM supports a total of 4 expert and 4 standard user
sessions.
The REM server performs all provisioning related, object-related, event and
alarm related processing, together with some of the GUI processing.
Further, the server stores all object, event and alarm related data and
state. As such, the majority of REM software executes on the server. The
server also interfaces directly to a customer's High Level Management
System (HLMS) for subscriber provisioning.
- ----------
1 In the Axtel application, the 27 bearer base-stations generally provide
only 26 bearers due to limited availability of RF channels.

Annex D -Product Specifications
Purchase and License Agreement for FWA Equipment
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The REM Client primarily acts as the host platform for the additional user
GUI screens. It provides some of the GUI processing, and acts as a platform
on which additional user scripts run.
PCs running Exceed software connect with the REM client to allow access for
additional users.
The Network Communication Server (NCS) is an integrated terminal server and
modem unit, which provides a connectivity solution from the REM to its
network of ITSs. It also provides connectivity to the Remote Maintenance
Terminal that is used during the subscriber hardware installation.
Field engineering terminal (FET)
The installing engineer will use this equipment during installation and
commissioning of Base-station equipment. The FET application runs on a PC
platform using a LINUX operating system. The FET is intended to connect
locally into an ITS and allows control of the ITS as well as access to
status information. Each FET requires a license key to enable operation and
these are available from Nortel Networks.
RSS Installation system (RIS)
The installing engineer will use this equipment to control the RSS during
installation, to aid antenna alignment to the Base Station, to measure the
performance of the RF link and to enable the connection. The primary
component of the RIS is the Remote Maintenance Terminal (RMT).
2.1.3 External interfaces
The physical layer external interfaces of the Internet FWA system are:
o Analogue line interface at the RSS
o Packet data interface at the RSS
o A.C. power interface at the RSS
o PCM (E1) interface at the RBS
o Packet data (E1) interface at the RBS
o D.C. power interface at the RBS
o External alarm interface at the RBS
o Analogue line interface at the RIS. This is used to connect the RMT to
the REM to download provisioning data.
o Analogue line interface at the REM
o Ethernet interface at the REM. This is used to connect the REM to
higher-layer operations systems.

2.3 Radio system
2.3.1 General description of the air interface
2.3.1.1 Physical layer
The physical layer of the Internet FWA air interface uses digital time
division multiplex/time division multiple access (TDM/TDMA) with a 10-slot
frame structure. Uplink and downlink carriers are paired, and separated by
a fixed duplex spacing of 99.84MHz. A TDM/TDMA channel (i.e. one time-slot
one on one RF carrier) is known as a physical channel. In the maximum
configuration, one ITS provides 18 pairs of RF carriers, and 180 physical
channels.
The uplink carriers are contained within the frequency band 3425 MHz to
3450 MHz, and the downlink carriers are contained within the frequency band
3525 MHz to 3550 MHz.
The modulation scheme for both the uplink and downlink direction is pi/4
shifted differential quadrature phase shift keying ((pi)/4DQPSK) with a
nominal symbol rate of 256,000 symbols/s. The gross data rate is 512
kbits/s per carrier.
Reserved channels are used to allow contention access by terminals. These
access channels are not available for carrying subscribers' voice or data
traffic.
2.3.1.2 Channel plan
The Internet FWA system operates over 78 RF channels, with a nominal
channel spacing of 307.2 kHz. The lowest uplink channel (Ch. 2) has a
nominal centre frequency of 3425.8944 MHz. The highest downlink channel
(Ch. 79) has a nominal centre frequency of 3549.3888 MHz. The fixed duplex
spacing is equivalent to 325 times the channel spacing.
2.3.1.3 MAC layer for PSTN traffic

circuit-switched connection, or one half of a 64 kbit/s PCM
circuit-switched connection.
2.3.1.4 MAC layer for the Packet data service
Physical channels can be allocated in groups of six to carry packet-mode
traffic. One group of six physical channels is described as a packet
channel.

2.3.2 RF performance of the ITS equipment
2.3.2.1 Maximum transmit power
The maximum transmit power from the ITS is not less than 28 dBm for each
carrier, measured at the antenna port of the TMU.
2.3.2.2 Transmitter implementation loss
The transmitted signal from the ITS is a close approximation to an ideal
(pi)/4DQPSK signal. The additional carrier to noise margin required to
demodulate the practical transmitted signal, compared to an ideal signal is
less than 1 dB.
2.3.2.3 Spectrum due to modulation
The spectrum due to modulation at the output of the ITS is as follows:
----------------------- ---------------------------------------------------
Channel Mean power (dBc)
----------------------- ---------------------------------------------------
N 0 dBc (by definition)
N +/- 1 <= -24.5 dBc
N +/- 2 <= -40 dBc
N +/- 3 <= -50 dBc
Any other channel <= -60 dBc or -60 dBm (whichever is greater)
----------------------- ---------------------------------------------------
The mean power is measured using an ideal receiver with root-raised-cosine
filtering with transition factor ((alpha)) = 0.4, and with the receiver
tuned to the centre of the appropriate adjacent channel.
2.3.2.4 Minimum receiver sensitivity
The receiver sensitivity for the ITS is not greater than -101.5 dBm,
measured at the antenna port of the TMU, for a bit error ratio (BER) of
10-3 before forward error correction. This measurement assumes an ideal
transmitter.
2.3.2.5 Receiver selectivity
The ITS receiver selectivity is specified in terms of the level of
interfering signal consistent with a bit error ratio (BER) for the wanted
signal of less than 10-3 before FEC. The interfering signal is assumed to
be from a signal source with the ideal characteristics of the Internet FWA
radio system, centered on the applicable adjacent channel. The wanted
signal is assumed to be from a similar ideal source and set at a level 3 dB
greater than the level required for BER = 10-3 in the absence of
interference. The carrier to interference levels are as follows:
Page 7
Annex D -Product Specifications
Purchase and License Agreement for FWA Equipment
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
Channel Carrier/Interference ratio for BER = 10-3
-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
N <= 14.4 dB
N +/- 1 <= -15.5 dB
N +/- 2 <= -58.5 dB
Any other channel <= -84.5 dBc
-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
2.3.3 RF performance of the RSS equipment
2.3.3.1 Maximum transmit power
The maximum transmit power from the RSS is not less than 44.5 dBm EIRP in
RF channels 8 to 73 inclusive, and not less than 41.5 dBm EIRP in the
remaining channels. This transmit power specification applies to the
complete RTU including the antenna.
2.3.3.2 Transmitter implementation loss
The transmitted signal from the RSS is a close approximation to an ideal
(pi)/4DQPSK signal. The additional carrier to noise margin required to
demodulate the practical transmitted signal, compared to an ideal signal is
less than 1 dB.
2.3.3.3 Spectrum due to modulation
The spectrum due to modulation at the output of the RSS is as follows:
-------------------------------- -------------------------------
Channel Mean power (dBc)
-------------------------------- -------------------------------
N 0 dBc (by definition)
N +/- 1 <= -24.5 dBc
N +/- 2 <= -40 dBc
N +/- 3 <= -50 dBc
Any other channel <= -60 dBc
-------------------------------- -------------------------------
The mean power is measured using an ideal receiver with root-raised-cosine
filtering with transition factor ((alpha)) = 0.4, and with the receiver
tuned to the centre of the appropriate adjacent channel. The measured power
is averaged over duration of the time-slot containing the uplink
transmission.
2.3.3.4 Minimum receiver sensitivity
The receiver sensitivity for the RSS is not greater than -102 dBm in RF
channels 8 to 73 inclusive, and not greater than -101.5 dBm in the
remaining channels. The received signal is
Page 8
Annex D -Product Specifications
Purchase and License Agreement for FWA Equipment
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
measured at the connector of the RTU antenna, for a bit error ratio (BER)
of 10-3 before forward error correction. This measurement assumes an ideal
transmitter.
2.3.3.5 Receiver selectivity
The RSS receiver selectivity is specified in terms of the level of
interfering signal consistent with a bit error ratio (BER) for the wanted
signal of less than 10-3 before FEC. The interfering signal is assumed to
be from a signal source with the ideal characteristics of the Internet FWA
radio system, centered on the applicable adjacent channel. The wanted
signal is assumed to be from a similar ideal source and set at a level 3 dB
greater than the level required for BER = 10-3 in the absence of
interference. The carrier to interference levels are as follows:
-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
Channel Carrier/Interference ratio for BER = 10-3
-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
N <= 14.4 dB
N +/- 1 <= -10.2 dB
N +/- 2 <= -25.6 dB
N +/- 3 <= -32.6 dB
N +/- 4 <= -35.6 dB
N +/- 5 <= -58.6 dB
Any other channel Blocking specification applies
-------------------------- ------------------------------------------------
2.3.3.6 RSS receiver dynamic range
The dynamic range of the RSS receiver is from the limit of sensitivity to
-20 dBm, measured at the antenna connector of the RTU. Over this dynamic
range the BER of the received signal (measured before forward error
correction) is not greater than 10-3.
2.3.3.7 RSS antenna gain
The gain of the RSS antenna is between 18 dBi and 22 dBi at the peak of the
response. The nominal beamwidth is 14 degrees (i.e. +/- 7 degrees). The
rejection of cross-polar signals in the main antenna response is not less
than 20 dB compared to a co-polar signal of identical level. The maximum
level of side-lobe responses is 3 dBi, and this limit applies at azimuth
angles from 22 degrees to 338 degrees with respect to the peak response.
2.3.4 Automatic power control
To minimise interference in the network, the system incorporates automatic
uplink RF power control whereby the ITS attempts to maintain a constant
received signal strength (RSSI) of -80dBm for each active call or packet
connection. If the RSSI strays from this target, the ITS will send a
message to the appropriate RSS requesting an appropriate modification to
the uplink RF power. The ITS normally integrates the RSSI over a 30s period
before deciding whether an adjustment is required although there is a
faster attack period at the start of a call or packet connection. At the
end of a call or connection, the RSS calculates a new RF power that will be
used to initiate the next call or connection on the same RF channel.
Page 9
Annex D -Product Specifications
Purchase and License Agreement for FWA Equipment
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To maintain an appropriate initial uplink RF power level during extended
periods of call inactivity, network test calls are automatically scheduled
to each RSS on each of its operating channels. Just as is the case for
normal calls, the uplink RF power is adjusted appropriately at the end of a
network test call. The scheduling period is normally set to 23 hours.
2.3.5 Combining diversity
In ITS configurations with 2 or more TMUs per sector, the system is
configured to execute two-path maximum ratio combining in the uplink. The
implementation of this feature delivers the theoretical benefit of maximum
ratio combining with less than 1 dB implementation loss.
The TMU receiver is wideband and covers all of the uplink spectrum. This
means that the IF signals from 2 TMUs in the same sector differ only by
virtue of being received from 2 physically separated antennas. The two I.F
signals are fed to separate arms of each receiver pair of every TBM in the
sector. The TBM hosts three such receiver pairs where each pair is
configured to an appropriate channel. The maximum ratio combining algorithm
is executed independently on each receiver pair.
2.3.6 Dynamic carrier list management
Dynamic carrier list management feature allows each RSS to modify the
classification of individual RF carriers in response to periodic
measurements of the received (downlink) signal. Each RSS notifies the ITS
of changes in carrier classification, allowing the ITS to allocate channels
with a priority reflecting the recent quality of downlink carriers. This
feature has proven to be effective in combating the effects of static
frequency-selective fading, and minimizing the impact of downlink radio
interference from nearby RBSs in the same network. This feature is
extremely valuable in networks where tri-sector and tri/hex-sector RBSs are
built in adjacent or nearby cells.
2.4 Equipment configurations
2.4.1 RBS configurations
RBS configurations that can be constructed using SR14 consist of one, two
or three ITSs. The table below lists the configurations that can be used.

------------------------------------------- ------------------ --------- ---------- ------------
The column `ITS sector organization' denotes the number of RF carriers than
are enabled in each sector. No relationship is implied between the position
of the elements of this list and the numbering of ITS sectors; thus a
sector organization of 6.6.5 applies equally to configurations where the
five-carrier sector is ITS sector 1, 2 or 3.
The tri/hex configuration is described as 6.6.4. The six-carrier sectors
are associated with the hex-sectored antennas, and the four-carrier sector
is associated with the tri-sectored antennas. By default, the tri-sector is
ITS sector 1.
The following rules apply:
o Where PDS is required at an ITS, two TPM-PDs must be fitted.
o Each TPM requires one E1 connection between the ITS and the local
exchange.
o Each TPM-PD requires one E1 connection between the ITS and the service
gateway.
Some of the base station configurations make use of more than one ITS. PDS
can be enabled or disabled on a `per-ITS' basis, and so it is possible to
create a multi-ITS configuration where only one or two of the ITSs has PDS
enabled.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.4.2 PSTN traffic capacity
The PSTN traffic capacity of the supported RBS configurations is detailed
in the table below. Note these figures apply where PDS is not provided; the
PSTN capacity of an ITS with PDS is necessarily lower.
---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
Base station configuration Reference capacity (E)
---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
Soft sector = 0% Soft sector = 10%
---------------------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------------
18-carrier, tri-sector, Type I 135.4 146.9
---------------------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------------
26-carrier, tri-sector, Type III & IV 209.1 210.0
---------------------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------------
27-carrier, tri-sector, Type II 218.4 220.0
---------------------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------------
48-carrier, tri/hex-sector 376.0 376.0
---------------------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------------
The reference capacity is defined as the capacity at 1% probability of
blocking for long ADPCM calls, with the optimum distribution of traffic
loading between ITS sectors.
The soft-sector capacity assumes that 10% of the traffic loading arises
from subscribers in the overlap regions between sectors, and that the
soft-sectored load is distributed evenly between three overlap regions
(3.3% of the total load in each overlap). In 26-carrier RBSs of type III
and IV, and 27-carrier RBSs of type II, there is only one overlap region
where a benefit is derived from soft sectoring; in these cases, the
capacity gain is relatively small. In the tri/hex-sectored ITS,
soft-sectoring is not enabled between hex-sectors.
One ITS with V5.2 interface can support a maximum of 2048 PSTN lines, and a
maximum of 2048 RSSs.
2.4.3 Packet data traffic capacity
2.4.3.1 Number of packet channels at an ITS
Packet channels at an ITS can be configured subject to the following rules:
o Packet data can be supported by ITSs with sector arrangement 6.6.6,
6.6.5, 8, 9, 9.8, 9.9, 6.6.4 (tri/hex)
o All packet channels consist of 6 physical channel pairs
o An ITS that supports PDS has two TPM-PDs o One TPM-PD may support zero
to four packet channels inclusive
o One ITS supports a maximum of 36 physical channels (i.e. six packet
channels)
o The largest packet partition allowed in one sector is three packet
channels
o In bi-sector or tri-sector ITSs, if the ITS provides PDS then each
sector must have at least one packet channel
Page 12
Annex D -Product Specifications
Purchase and License Agreement for FWA Equipment
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o In a tri-sector ITS, the sum of the number of packet channels in the
smallest two packet partitions must not exceed four. This ensures that
sectors will not be split across TPM-PDs.
2.4.3.2 Number of simultaneous PPP and MAC connections
The packet data service supports a maximum of:
o 700 packet data subscribers per ITS
o 700 simultaneous PPP connections per ITS
o 25 simultaneous active MAC connections per packet channel
o 60 simultaneous active MAC connections per TPM-PD
o 110 simultaneous active MAC connections per ITS
2.4.3.3 Traffic capacity of a packet channel
Each packet channel (consisting of six physical channels) provides a shared
channel with an aggregate capacity for users' packet data traffic of not
less than 192 kbps in the downlink direction, and not less than 84 kbps in
the uplink direction. PPP, TCP and IP headers applied at the users'
computers are assumed to form part of the useful throughput.
2.4.3.4 Peak throughput for a single PDS user
The peak throughput for a single user is approximately 96 kbps in the
downlink direction (using the USB interface) and approximately 92 kbps in
the downlink direction (using the RS-232 interface). The peak throughput
for a single user is approximately 42 kbps in the uplink direction.
Note that these are peak figures, and apply when the user has exclusive use
of three physical channels. In normal operation, the packet channel
capacity is shared between a number of users, and mean throughput figures
for individual users will be lower than these peak values. The operator
must ensure that sufficient packet channels are configured to offer
reasonable quality of service to packet data subscribers.
2.4.3.5 Reduction in PSTN capacity
The remaining PSTN traffic capacity at an RBS with packet data service is
defined in the following table. These figures assume that 10% of the
offered traffic is from soft-sectored terminals.
-------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
Base station configuration Reference capacity (E)
-------------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------------
One packet channel in Two packet channels in
each sector each sector
-------------------------------------- ----------------------- -------------------------

2.5 External interfaces
2.5.1 ITS to transmission system
The interface between the ITS and the transmission system is defined by
ITU-T G.703 11/2001, `Physical/electrical characteristics of hierarchical
digital interfaces'. Only the interface at 2048 kbit/s is supported in
Internet FWA.
As an additional requirement, Internet FWA requires that the long-term
frequency accuracy of the E1 signal from the transmission system is better
than 10-7 (0.1 ppm). Transmission equipment does not normally re-time
digital traffic, and so this frequency accuracy is usually dependent on
correct configuration of the local exchange (for PSTN connections) or the
packet data network.
Internet FWA complies with ITU-T G.823, `The control of jitter and wander
within digital networks which are based on the 2048 kbit/s hierarchy'.
2.5.2 ITS to local exchange
The framing structure of the signal between the ITS and the local exchange
is defined by ITU-T G.704 10/1998, `Synchronous frame structures used at
1544, 6312, 2048, 8448 and 44 736 kbit/s hierarchical levels', and ITU-T
G.706 04/1991, `Frame alignment and cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
procedures relating to basic frame structures defined in Recommendation
G.704'.
The voice coding for circuit-switched traffic complies with ITU-T G.711
11/1988, `Pulse code modulation (PCM) of voice frequencies'.
Signaling between the ITS and the local exchange uses the V5.2 protocol,
defined in the ETSI V5.1 Specification ETS 300 324-1, V 1.2.2,
`V-Interfaces at the digital local exchange (LE) - V5.1-Interface (based on
2048 kbit/s) for the support of access network (AN)', and ETSI V5.2
Specification ETS 300 347-1, V 2.1.2, `V-interfaces at the digital local
exchange (LE) - V5.2 interface (based on 2048 kbit/s) for the support of
access network (AN)'. Only requirements for PSTN services apply to Internet
FWA.
2.5.3 ITS to packet data network
Internet FWA requires that the E1 signal from the packet data network must
comply with the framing structure defined in ITU-T G.704 (see above for a
detailed reference). Time-slot zero contains a frame synchronization
signal, and the remaining 31 time-slots are joined together to provide a
connection with an aggregate capacity of 1984 kbit/s.
The layer-2 tunnel between the ITS and the packet data network uses a
protocol stack consisting of the point-to-point protocol (PPP), Internet
protocol (IP), user datagram protocol (UDP) and the layer-2 tunneling
protocol (L2TP). These protocols are defined as follows:
o PPP: Internet engineering task force (IETF) STD 51, `The point to
point protocol'
o IP: IETF RFC 791, `Internet protocol'
o UDP: IETF RFC 768, `User datagram protocol'
o L2TP: IETF RFC 2661, `Layer two tunnelling protocol (L2TP)'
2.5.4 RDA to PC
The RDA provides a choice of two different serial data standards at the
PC-RDA interface:
Page 14
Annex D -Product Specifications
Purchase and License Agreement for FWA Equipment
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Asynchronous serial interface (commonly known as RS-232) as defined in
ANSI/TIA/EIA-232-F-1997, Interface Between Data Terminal Equipment and
Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment Employing Serial Binary Data
Interchange, and
o Universal Serial Bus (USB), using the `full-speed' option, as defined
in Universal Serial Bus specification, Rev. 1.1 and USB class
definitions for communications devices, Rev. 1.0.
2.6 Additional Specifications

1.1 Technical Assistance Service during Warranty Period
1.1.1 Technical Assistance Service Deliverables
* Provide Remote Technical Assistance to assist Axtel in the diagnosis
of hardware failures during the warranty period.
To provide Technical Assistance, Nortel Networks technicians and engineers will
provide support primarily by remote means. In a collaborative effort with
Axtel's technical staff, these personnel will attempt to diagnose and resolve
issues related to the hardware supplied by Nortel Networks as explained in this
service description.
Where telephone support, remote diagnosis, and all other means of restoring
product operation have failed, Nortel Networks, upon Axtel's request, and if
Nortel Networks determines that on-site support is necessary and appropriate,
will dispatch a trained and qualified technical expert to Axtel's premises to
facilitate further diagnosis.
* Notwithstanding Nortel Networks' determination that on-site support is
not necessary, Axtel will nevertheless have the right to require on
site support from Nortel Networks, provided that such on site support
required by Axtel shall be at Axtel's cost unless it is agreed that it
was necessary for such support to be provided on site.

Answer From Design Engineer has concluded its investigation Not Stopped
Design and has replied back to the NTS Engineer
With A During the course of conducting their research, Stopped
Customer the NTS Engineer may need additional
information or activity from the Customer.
The "With a Customer" status is assigned when
the NTS Engineer is waiting on a Customer
response in order to continue investigation
Interim If a temporary solution is provided that Stopped
Solution eliminates the customers pain until a
permanent solution can be delivered,
RQMS requirements allow the case to
be set to an "IS" status during this
window of time if approved by the Customer.
In calculating case age, this interval
will be discounted if the permanent fix was
delivered on the negotiated commitment date.
If the permanent fix does not resolve the
reported problem, case status shall be
changed to Work in Progress (Level 1 or 2).
If the case is returned to a Work in
Progress (Level 1 or 2) status after
using the IS, the IS time period will
be added to the RQMS age of the case.
Future Customer agrees to live with the problem Stopped
Deliverable condition and that the fix will be delivered
as part of a future Nortel product
release (software release, maintenance
release, documentation release or
hardware revision. Requirements to use
this status include Customer consent; fix
identification, and delivery commitment.
This status code does not add time to
the RQMS age of the case unless the
solution fails and the case is moved
back to Work in Progress (Level 1 or 2)
status. If the case is returned to a Work
in Progress (Level 1 or 2) status after
using the FD, the FD time period will be
added to the RQMS age of the case.
