  the

  of	
  the	
  research

  being	
  conducted.

  the	
  communications	
  facilities	
  requested	
  are	
  necessary	
  for	
  
the	
  research	
  project	
  involved.

Answers:	
  	
  
	
  
a.	
  GE	
  is	
  building	
  mobile	
  applications	
  and	
  services	
  on	
  top	
  of	
  Industrial	
  
Internet	
  where	
  all	
  assets	
  and	
  people	
  that	
  can	
  benefit	
  
from	
  ubiquitous	
  connectivity	
  and	
  real-­‐time	
  computing.	
  	
  In	
  this	
  vision,	
  GE's	
  
Industrial	
  Internet	
  applications	
  need	
  Service	
  Level	
  Agreements	
  (SLA)	
  and	
  
deterministic	
  behavior	
  from	
  the	
  mobile	
  network.	
  	
  The	
  current	
  commercial	
  
mobile	
  /	
  wireless	
  infrastructure	
  is	
  geared	
  and	
  configured	
  toward	
  best	
  effort	
  
behaviors	
  instead	
  of	
  different	
  levels	
  of	
  Quality	
  of	
  Services	
  (QoS)	
  for	
  
different	
  prioritized	
  traffics	
  /	
  applications	
  /	
  users.	
  	
  This	
  research	
  will	
  
explore,	
  in	
  controlled	
  lab/indoor	
  environment,	
  the	
  interactions	
  between	
  GE	
  
mobile	
  applications,	
  backend	
  servers,	
  and	
  underlying	
  distributed	
  mobile	
  
infrastructure.	
  	
  This	
  research	
  also	
  tries	
  to	
  understand	
  the	
  best	
  practices	
  to	
  
utilize	
  the	
  current	
  Mobile	
  QoS	
  capabilities	
  and	
  identify	
  new	
  capabilities	
  
needed	
  to	
  meet	
  existing	
  and	
  future	
  scenarios	
  for	
  GE's	
  Industrial	
  Internet.

  See

  Product	
  Description	
  for	
  Ericsson	
  RBS	
  6601,	
  which	
  is	
  a	
  Base	
  
Station	
  unit	
  and	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  requested	
  communications	
  facilities	
  in	
  this	
  
application.	
  	
  See	
  specifically	
  in	
  Chapter	
  3	
  "Applications	
  for	
  RBS	
  6601",	
  
which	
  cover	
  many	
  use	
  cases	
  that	
  GE's	
  Industrial	
  Internet	
  is	
  trying	
  to	
  
address.	
  	
  Another	
  one	
  of	
  requested	
  communications	
  facilities	
  is	
  the	
  
Ericsson	
  m	
  RRUS	
  11	
  B4,	
  which	
  is	
  a	
  Remote	
  Radio	
  Unit	
  that	
  works	
  with	
  RBS	
  
6601,	
  which	
  is	
  also	
  described	
  in	
  the	
  Chapter	
  2	
  of	
  the	
  Product	
  Description	
  
for	
  Ericsson	
  RBS	
  6601.	
  	
  
	
  
c.	
  In	
  GE's	
  San	
  Ramon	
  site,	
  there	
  is	
  no	
  existing	
  communications	
  facility	
  that	
  
can	
  accommodate	
  the	
  mobile	
  QoS	
  research	
  described	
  in	
  Section	
  a.
