1. Location of your Infrastructure by Jeremy Anthony Kinsey a bella mia company Finding the right spot at the right price

2. Background Jeremy Kinsey “Known as Jer” to his friends. CEO and Co-Founder of Bella Mia, Inc. Been an ISP for 7 years Been a WISP for 4 Years Winner of Part-15 WISP of the Year WISPCON III Located in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin

3. Overview Choosing a location Site Survey What kind of structure is right? How much should I be paying? Site Planning Insurance Deploying

4. Choosing a Location Where do you need to be to cover your customers? Is anyone else already there? Is higher better? Should I use more than one Location? Telco/Power - Facilities, etc.

5. Site Survey What’s the RF look like? Just what can you cover? How high are you going to have to go? What frequency/s will work best?

6. RF Study EDX Software EDX MSITE software is a area wide coverage and interference and analysis program. It can predict possible problems in the 30Mhz to 60Ghz range. It can create detailed 3-D maps of terrain and RF conditions.

7. RF Study Spectrum Analyzer Using a spectrum analyzer you can search for interference in your bands by simply aiming the appropriate antenna in your frequency range and searching through each individual channel in every direction you intend to broadcast from. Making detailed notes along the way it is an inexpensive way to achieve a good picture of your RF environment.

8. RF Study Marlon Special The Marlon special as it has been called in the past is also known as the poor mans spectrum analyzer or site survey kit. The kit typically consists of a Teletronics PCMCIA radio card, antenna and cable, as well as the software that comes with the TT Radio card. The software has a nice channel analyzer that shows activity and or interference on all 14 channels.

9. Path Study LOS Coverage Report A LOS Coverage Report literally shows an antenna’s-eye-view of path conditions. The report enables the visual verification of LOS conditions from your Tower Site without the requirement for further field checks. This can dramatically reduce the amount of field survey time, and lowers the cost typically associated with deployment.

10. Path Study Horizon Photos Horizon photo data is used to determine which buildings (or parts of buildings) are visible, and which buildings are blocked (“shadowed”) from your Tower Site. Large shadowed regions are shown as solid sector segments on a Shadow Map The “shadows” created by obstructive buildings or natural physical land features are shown on the Shadow Map.

11. Path Study Footprints and Roofprints Footprints and Roofprints of buildings that house potential Wireless Customers are imposed on orthophotos, and are shown on Coverage Maps. Possible LOS buildings are shown as Footprints (green) and Roofprints (yellow). LOS buildings constructed subsequent to the aerial photography are shown with a red outline. The end result is a coverage study containing an accurate database of buildings that can be targeted as future customers.

12. Path Study Coverage Study Report A Coverage Study Report provides a clear picture of your coverage areas and possible customers. Such precise planning permits WISP’s to view LOS path details and potential antenna mounting locations at the subscriber building, without going to the field. Not everyone goes this route, however if you are willing to spend the money, this can be an invaluable way to save money and time in the long run.

13. Site Plan Drawings

14. What kind of Structure is right? Water Tanks? Cell Tower? Grain Elevator? Build your own? Buildings?

15. How Much Should I be Paying? Cell Rates? Barter? Partnership? Build your own? Municipalities - Tank Rates?

16. Site Planning Path Studies Type of Gear and mounting Tower Crew? Friends? Who’s climbing? Make sure to over plan and over build! Shelter? Enclosure? Colo? Power, Telco, backhauls?

17. Insurance What insurance do I need? Where do I get it? What’s it cost?

18. Insurance Insurance industry is now Indemnity Company! Insurance industry has suffered huge losses Network Data and or ISP/WISPs are High Risk to the Insurance industry! As a result, the ISP/WISP is no longer qualified for just general liability.

19. What do I need? Proffessional Insurance FIRST!!! Coverage first then the liability coverage can be obtained. This iscalled Professional Insurance. All this does is provide the Indemnitycompany with an insurance company who will insure against any professionalliability claims, such as loss of data, copy write problems, etc.

20. COSTS??? Base on annual revs Roughly 2/3rds cost of Liability Coverage

21. COSTS??? Example If you find a company who will provide a geneneral liability policy for say$4500.00 per year then the professional insurance company will have a policy that is around $3000.00 on top of the libility coverage. This professional insurance provides nothing to the isp otherthan the ability to find a liability policy.

22. Insurance Conclusion? This professional insurance provides nothing to the isp other than the ability to find a liability policy.

23. Deploying Now you have the site, it’s time to install your gear! Good Luck!
