7. Goals and Assumptions Goal: Create a backhaul network from Itron Cell Relay Nodes to CMP substations Assumptions: Assume there are approximately 1,565 Itron CRNs Assume there are approximately 1,500 DA/SCADA devices Assume that there are 280 substations that can be used as network infrastructure Assume a height of 100 ft. for installing antennas at substations Assume a height of 30 ft. for installing remotes at CRNs (poles) Actions: How do we deliver coverage (range), speed (data rates), reliability (strong signals)? How do we make the infrastructure manageable? i.e. cost efficient, secure, easy to deploy and easy to manage
