Analyse these costs, would generally cover some common areas such as:
Maintenance costs
Operations cost
Cost of operating a mobile access facility, may include license, labour costs,
support, insurance, generally what the accountants refer to as recurring costs.
Benefits
Restate the benefits as outlined in the introduction of the case. A table will be
useful in addressing the tangible and intangible benefits to the different
categories of users. Thus in your research look for related information on
tangible and intangible benefits from using a Mobile access system.
Technical Requirements
Here you should be researching technical requirements of mobile access
systems, these can be found from websites of network service providers, reading
white papers from their websites and studying case studies.

Also use related textbooks on mobile computing, William stallings and jochen
schuller come to mind immediately.
This list is by no means exhaustive, by all means search through for as many as
you would deem appropriate, the internet is an endless resource and textbooks
on mobile computing as a complement.
Address the usage requirements of your various categories of users, a table will
help break this down addressing areas mentioned in stage 2 of your coursework.
You may also need a table to address the technical requirements for each user
category with regard to appropriate devices, number of users, bandwidth
requirements, level of security etc.
Also highlight conflicts that may arise from the technical requirements and
security challenges.
Design
There are 2 key areas mentioned here:
Your cell size and cell overlaps showing coverage (for the museum), you may
choose to draw this or research an appropriate diagram but it must be a realistic
one that addresses the requirements as accurately as possible. Thus
researching some cell coverage diagrams for mobile solutions will be well worth
it to give you a clear idea of what you are looking for. Also refer to your slides on
cellular systems where cells are discussed to help you in this regard. A cellular
map is what is required here as your deliverable.
Devices
Devices required for constructing the network will include:

Cabling notes:
• Ethernet LAN packet signals passed over Ethernet cable
feedback2techdo frequencies between 0 MHz and 125 MHz.
• Cellular signals are converted for transmission over the
Ethernet cable to frequencies at 160 MHz and above.
• This configuration allows Ethernet cabling to be passive
to cellular and Wi-Fi.

services(Example Cell and PCS) can be brought into the
CCIM-TD controller. There are 12 UTP ports than can transport those

the cellular traffic is transmitted onto the cable at a different
frequency than the frequency used for the LAN packets to
and from the Aironet AP to prevent interference with each
Bottom of Form other. The VCU and VAP devices transmit analog radio signals
over the CAT-5e/6 cable by down-shifting the cellular
frequencies to intermediate frequencies. Since the frequency
range used of cellular traffic is different from Ethernet traffic;
there is no cross talk or harmonic inference between the two
technologies. The cellular frequencies are 140-220 MHz,
while the Ethernet spectrum is 0-125 MHz. The
MobileAccessVE device performance is not influenced by the
presence or absence of Cisco switches or APs. The
MobileAccessVE devices that share the same cable run as the
Cisco devices are not influenced by the power state(on/off) of
the Cisco devices. The MobileAccessVE devices are passive
with concern to Ethernet connectivity. The RJ-45 ports on the
VCU are strictly pass-through. They are not programmable in
the sense of switch ports on a Cisco switch.
Co-existence of PoE on the CAT-5e/6 Cable
The amount of power that a switch provides at the power
sourcing port depends on the switch or line card of the
switch. It also depends on the model of the switch or line card
and the power supplies of the switch. Cisco switches then
negotiate the amount of power to provide to the endpoint
using the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). A Cisco switch
provides power to the Aironet AP. The VCU provides power to
the Mobile Access VAP. The ability to provide power to
Aironet AP from the CAT-5e/6 cable that is also powering the
VAP is done using different wire pairing within the CAT-5e/6
cable for each AP. CAT-5e/6 cable has four pairs of wire. The
Cisco switch provides power on pairs 1-2 and 3-6 for the
Aironet AP per 802.af type A standards. The MobileAccessVE
provides power separately for the VAP on pairs 4-5 and 7-8.
Therefore, Aironet AP and the VAP have unique power
sources. The MobileAccessVE and VAP pass the power from
the Cisco switch through to the AP passively. This separate,
independent supply of power on the CAT-5e/6 cables
provides the VAP full service functionality and the Aironet AP
full 802.11n performance.
Testing to Identify Co-existence Issues
Cisco engineers tested the following items to identify co-
existence issues:
• Maximum Ethernet Cable Length
• Ethernet compliance per 802.3 specifications
• Product Safety and Compliance
• Cisco device Interoperability
Maximum Cable Length
The highest length of CAT-5e/6 cable that is recommended
for a gigabit Ethernet run is a total of 100 meters. It is
recommended that only CAT-5e or better be used in any
portion of the run. A run is defined as the total CAT-5e/6
cable connections between the PoE switch port to the final
Ethernet client device. All connections to MobileAccessVE
Controller (VCU) and the MobileAccessVE Access Pod (VAP)
add into that total run length. This is because to the gigabit
Ethernet signals, the VCU and VAP are passive, pass-through
devices. Therefore, in considering the maximum run length,
there will be a minimum of three CAT-5e/6 cables involved.
Cisco ran exhaustive tests with cable lengths well beyond
100 meters to substantiate the 100 meter specification when
any devices are connected to the VE system and any
medium- to good-quality CAT5e/6 cable is used.
There is no difference in Wi-Fi or Cellular performance
whether short or long CAT5e/6 cables are used. Also, gigabit
Ethernet performance (throughput, packet error rate) was
tested rigorously and no negative effects were observed-the
VE system is truly transparent to gigabit Ethernet operation.
Packet error rates were studied with various Ethernet
protocols, encryption types, packet sizes and data rates.
Packets sizes varied from runt to jumbo. The protocols
included TCP, UDP, DHCP, CDP, LWAPP, CAPWAP, EAP-TLS,
Cisco LEAP and Cisco VPN. This provided a broad but
common list of data protocols, security and authentication
protocols and encryption schemes. It certainly is not a
complete list but certainly indicates that no type of protocol
and encryption incurred a packet error rate higher than
another protocol.
Ethernet Compliance per 802.3 specifications
The MobileAccessVE system was examined against 802.3
(Ethernet) physical layer specifications using engineering
laboratory equipment. A complete Ethernet compliance test
suite was run on the VE system and examined such
parameters as constellation error, return loss, and pulse
mask. The system exhibits a small amount of parametric
degradation, equivalent to the effect of a short length of
Ethernet cable about 10-15 meters in length.
Product Safety and Compliance
During the tests, Cisco also verified product safety and
regulatory compliance, and inspected the entire set of
certifications and test reports associated with the
MobileAccessVE system.
Cisco Device Compatibility
Cisco has tested the MobileAccessVE system with the entire
portfolio of Aironet Wi-Fi Access Points, and with the CAT3k
and CAT4k line of Ethernet switches. PoE functionality per
802.3af/at and compatibility with the Cisco Discovery
Protocol (CDP) for enhanced PoE was verified. Note: PoE
compatibility could be an issue with legacy EOL'd Cisco
access points since those products were designed before the
802.3af PoE standard was ratified.
The system works assuming the 802.3af/at Type A PoE
injection convention is used. Any Ethernet client equipment
which operates outside of the 802.3af standard or with the
Type B methodology may require a special adaptor (supplied
by Mobile Access) to reconfigure the PoE to a Type A
equivalent. The adaptor solution ensures that customers will
be able to deploy the VE system in any current or legacy
Ethernet network.
