doc.: IEEE /0437r1 Submission March 2008 Peter Ecclesine, Cisco SystemsSlide 12 Two examples A licensed operator installs a few enabling STAs to cover an oil field, then uses dependent stations at each pump or truck or rig. The IT department of the operator manages all the radios. A fire station locates an enabling STA on its communications tower, and uses dependent stations on each fire truck and laptop. The incident commander communicates with the enabling STA using a Public Safety band radio, and controls use of the 3650 MHz band near the incident.
