Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The radio vendor, CERAGON NETWORKS, asserts that their product, MODEL NUMBER FibeAir-IP-20C will replace a fiber optic connection that is normally placed between a remote radio head (RRH) and a base band unit.

The results will provide Big River with sufficient test data to assist in making a purchase decision.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

To determine if 18 GHz point to point microwave link will properly carry a common public radio interface (CPRI) connection wirelessly versus conventional method utilizing fiber optic cables.
