20.1 |
Each
Party agrees not to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or its
rights under it, or delegate its obligations, without the other Party’s
prior written consent, and any attempt to do so is void. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Airspan may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or
its rights under it, or delegate its obligations, to any of its
affiliates. Airspan may also assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement
or its rights under it, or delegate its obligations, to any purchaser of
the FWA Business without the Axtel’s prior written consent;
provided that: |

Purchase
and License Agreement for FWA Equipment
(i) |
Airspan
shall provide to Axtel the soliciting or offering material used in
connection with any contemplated sale of the FWA Business (the
“FWA Information”) at the same time any such FWA
Information is provided to any third party potential purchaser (the
“Potential Purchasers”), subject to execution by
the Parties of a non-disclosure agreement in a form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Airspan, but no less restrictive on Axtel than
the non-disclosure agreement executed with the Potential Purchasers; and
provided, however, that Airspan may not offer, solicit interest in
or sell the FWA Business to any company which is a direct competitor of
Axtel or does not have the necessary resources (human and/or technical),
at Airspan’ reasonable judgment, to manufacture the Products and/or to
provide the technical support required by Axtel, including without
limitation, Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. or any of its affiliates
(the “Restricted
Companies”); | |
(ii) |
Airspan
hereby grants to Axtel a right of first refusal (“RFR”) with
respect to any offer received by Airspan from any third party which
Airspan proposes to accept (including any revised offers), allowing Axtel
to purchase the FWA Business on terms not less favorable than such offer,
subject to Axtel having made, within forty five (45) days after Airspan
shall have delivered written notice to Axtel of such offer or revised
offer (the “Vendor’s Notice”), a single deposit for the amount
equal to five (5) percent of the amount of the third party offer (the
“Deposit”) into an interest bearing escrow
account. Once Airspan has received the Deposit, Axtel shall have the right
to perform a due diligence investigation of the FWA Business, and Airspan
shall be obligated to promptly provide all the information and access that
Axtel reasonably requires for the evaluation of the FWA Business;
and | |
(iii) |
in
the event of any such sale to a purchaser other than Axtel, such new
vendor shall assume all of Airspan’s obligations under this Agreement.
|
20.2 |
If
Axtel exercises its RFR, Airspan and Axtel shall have ninety (90) days
from payment of the Deposit to negotiate in good faith and enter into a
purchase agreement pursuant to which Airspan will sell the FWA Business to
Axtel, unless a longer period of time is stated in the offer received from
the Potential Purchaser, in which case such longer period shall prevail
(the “Offer Period”). If the Parties have entered
into such an agreement by the end of the Offer Period, the Deposit shall
be credited towards the purchase price of the FWA Business. If the Parties
have not entered into such an agreement by the end of the Offer Period,
Axtel shall forfeit in favor of Airspan the Deposit, and Airspan shall
have the right to sell the FWA Business to any Potential Purchaser other
than a Restricted Company, subject to the terms and conditions of Section
20.3 below; provided, however, that if the terms of the proposed
sale are more favorable to such Potential Purchaser than the best offer
(from Airspan’ perspective) presented by Axtel to Airspan during the Offer
Period, then the RFR shall again apply to such sale, but Axtel shall not
be obligated to provide any additional Deposit. |
20.3 |
If
Axtel shall decline in any instance to exercise its RFR or the Parties
fail to enter into the purchase agreement as described in Section 20.2,
Airspan shall have the right for a period of one year from the date of
such declination or failure, to sell the FWA Business to a Potential
Purchaser (except if such Potential Purchaser is a Restricted Company)
without prior notice to Axtel, on terms which are not more beneficial to
such Potential Purchaser than those set forth in Vendor’s Notice. If the
foregoing conditions are not met, the RFR shall again apply to such sale;
provided, however, that the 90-day term provided in Section 20.2
above shall be reduced to forty five (45) days and Axtel shall not be
obligated to provide any additional
Deposit. |

The
Parties hereby acknowledge that the current Bank Guarantee granted by
Airspan to Axtel pursuant the Second Amendment No. 2 shall continue to
remain open until Airspan delivers to Axtel all the Products covered

Thereafter, Axtel shall agree to the release and termination of the Bank
Guarantee. In addition to the foregoing, the Parties hereby agree that, if
after the Effective Date of this Agreement, Axtel makes new payments in
the circumstances described in Section 21.2 below, Airspan shall obtain
and maintain a new Bank Guarantee to cover the respective Excess Exposure
Amount until such time as aggregate amounts paid fall below the Excess
Exposure Amount. |
21.2 |
The
Parties hereby acknowledge that, from time to time, Axtel may make
payments to Airspan under this Agreement such that the aggregate amount of
those payments for Orders where the related Product has not been delivered

equivalent to all the amounts paid by Axtel in excess of the Exposure
Limit (the “Excess Exposure
Amount”). |
21.5 |
The
Parties further agree that the aggregate value of the Bank Guarantee, as
measured and agreed by the parties at the end of each month, will continue
to be equal or greater than the likely peak Excess Exposure Amount for the
following month. |
21.6 |
The
Bank Guarantee will permit Axtel, on or before its expiry date, to draw
down the portion of the Bank Guarantee applicable to the funds received by
Airspan as a down payment with respect to the delivery covered by that
Bank Guarantee, upon the occurrence of any of the following events or
conditions: |

by a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator of itself or of all or a
substantial part of its property, | |
(ii) |

creditors, | |
(iii) |
Airspan
commences a voluntary proceeding under the bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws relating to relief from creditors
generally, | |
(iv) |
Airspan
fails to contest in a timely or appropriate manner, or acquiesces in
writing to, any petition filed against it in an involuntary proceeding
under the bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws relating to relief from
creditors generally, or any application for the appointment or a receiver,
custodian, trustee, or liquidator or itself or of all or a substantial
part of its property or its liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or
winding-up. | |
(v) |
Airspan
fails to deliver Products ordered by Axtel under this Agreement, within a
period of thirty (30) days after the delivery date applicable for such
Products, pursuant the terms of this Agreement; provided (i) that after
fifteen (15) days following the date on which Airspan has failed to make a
delivery, Axtel has provided written notice to Airspan of such failure,
and (ii) that the thirty (30) day period shall be extended where the
failure is caused by Force Majeure Event, by the number of days for which
the Force Majeure Event is in existence (if the Force Majeure Event
continue for more than 60 days, Axtel will have the right to cancel the
respective Order(s) and to collect from the Bank Guarantee all applicable
payments paid to Airspan by Axtel for such
Product). |

1. Scope
1.1 This
section defines the essential performance characteristics of the Airspan
Internet Fixed Wireless Access system (Internet FWA). The scope of the section
is confined to the airside equipment that supports wireless transmission in the
local loop, i.e. that part of the system from the Base-station network interface
to the subscriber premises terminal interface (telephone socket), together with
associated network management operations systems in the element management
layer. The specifications for the switch, service gateway and other associated
backhaul equipment are therefore specifically excluded from this
section.
2.1 General

2.1.1.1
Purpose
of Internet FWA
The
Internet FWA system allows telecommunications operators to construct high
quality telephone access networks between customers’ premises and local
exchanges. The system uses cellular point to multi-point wireless technology as
a replacement for traditional copper-based local loops. A major advantage of FWA
technology is that it allows operators to create new access networks quickly and
with minimum capital investment.
Each
terminal in the Internet FWA system is capable of delivering PSTN
circuit-switched services through two standard analogue telephone lines. In
addition to the PSTN services, a packet-mode service may be used to deliver
‘always-on’ connections between one or more Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
and the computer equipment of subscribers.
The
Internet FWA system provides a frequency division duplex radio link to a
subscriber transceiver system and operates in the 3.4 to 3.6 GHz band. The air
interface utilizes time division multiplex on the downlink and time division
multiple access on the uplink. The system comprises a network of Radio
Base-stations (RBS) arranged on a cellular plan and these are connected to the
PSTN or to the public Internet by a conventional back-haul network. Each
base-station consists of one or more Integrated Transceiver Systems
(ITSs).
2.1.2

The
Internet FWA system contains two Network elements (NEs):

The
Remote Service System (RSS)
This
system provides the subscriber with two independent analogue exchange lines and
optionally a packet data service interface. The system consists of the RSS
Terminal Unit (RTU), an RSS Power and Connection unit (RPCU) and an RSS Data
Adapter (RDA) or Dongle Data Adaptor
The RTU
is mounted externally to the subscriber premises and contains a directional
antenna, radio electronics and the two analogue line interfaces to carry PSTN
services. The unit is powered from the RPCU indoor unit that plugs into the
subscribers mains supply. A ‘drop cable’ connects the RTU to the RPCU. The RPCU
contains two sets of telephone sockets for connection to the subscriber’s
telephone equipment. In order to provide the optional packet data service, an
RDA is supplied along with a special version of the RTU that contains the
required data interface. The packet data service makes use of the HPNA standard
to multiplex the data onto ‘line 0’ of the telephone wires. The RDA connects to
the subscriber’s personal computer.
The
Integrated Transceiver System (ITS)
One or
more ITSs form the basis of the radio base-station and have been designed to
serve an area of up to 5km radius in a typical urban environment and up to 20km
in a rural environment.
Voice
band circuits from the ITS are connected to the switch by means of E1 links
running a V5.2 protocol. The packet data service is also routed over E1 links to
the service gateway using L2TP (layer 2 tunnel protocol). The ITS can route any
slot from the ‘circuit’ E1s to any slot on the airside interface.
In
principle, an ITS can be provisioned as a 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 or 18 bearer
configuration. RBS configurations specifically supported by installation and
maintenance processes provide tri-sectored configurations with 18 or
271
In the Axtel application, the 27 bearer base-stations generally provide only 26
bearers due to limited availability of RF channels. RF
carriers, or a tri/hex-sectored RBS with 48 RF carriers. The 27-carrier
configurations require the use of two ITSs, and the 48-carrier configuration
requires the use of three ITSs. The 48 bearer base-station is designed to
provide coverage in two ‘RF layers’, the first layer allowing a frequency re-use
of one to be employed whilst a more conservative frequency plan is used in the
other layer. Service to the individual RSS can be switched between these two
layers depending on the interference environment experienced at that
RSS.
Radio
Element Manager (REM)
The Radio
Element Manger (REM) is a high performance, high capacity management system and
is used to perform the Operation, Administration, Maintenance and Provisioning
(OAM&P) procedures for the Internet FWA network. One REM can manage up to
200 ITSs and 150,000lines. The REM is primarily composed of a server platform, a
client platform, additional user PCs and a Network
Communications Server. Their respective purposes are described below.
The REM
supports a total of 4 expert and 4 standard user sessions.
1 In the
Axtel application, the 27 bearer base-stations generally provide only 26 bearers
due to limited availability of RF channels.

The REM
server performs all provisioning related, object-related, event and alarm
related processing, together with some of the GUI processing. Further, the
server stores all object, event and alarm related data and state. As such, the
majority of REM software executes on the server. The server also interfaces
directly to a customer’s High Level Management System (HLMS) for subscriber
provisioning.
The REM
Client primarily acts as the host platform for the additional user GUI screens.
It provides some of the GUI processing, and acts as a platform on which
additional user scripts run.
PCs
running Exceed software connect with the REM client to allow access for
additional users.
The
Network Communication Server (NCS) is an
integrated terminal server and modem unit, which provides a connectivity
solution from the REM to its network of ITSs. It also provides connectivity to
the Remote Maintenance Terminal that is used during the subscriber hardware
installation.
Field
engineering terminal (FET)
The
installing engineer will use this equipment during installation and
commissioning of Base-station equipment. The FET application runs on a PC
platform using a LINUX operating system. The FET is intended to connect locally
into an ITS and allows control of the ITS as well as access to status
information. Each FET requires a license key to enable operation and these are
available from Airspan.
RSS
Installation system (RIS)
The
installing engineer will use this equipment to control the RSS during
installation, to aid antenna alignment to the Base Station, to measure the
performance of the RF link and to enable the connection. The primary component
of the RIS is the Remote Maintenance Terminal (RMT).

system
2.3.1 General
description of the air interface
2.3.1.1 Physical
layer
The
physical layer of the Internet FWA air interface uses digital time division
multiplex/time division multiple access (TDM/TDMA) with a 10-slot frame
structure. Uplink and downlink carriers are paired, and separated by a fixed
duplex spacing of 99.84MHz. A TDM/TDMA channel (i.e. one time-slot one on one RF
carrier) is known as a physical channel. In the maximum configuration, one ITS
provides 18 pairs of RF carriers, and 180 physical channels.
The
uplink carriers are contained within the frequency band 3425 MHz to 3450 MHz,
and the downlink carriers are contained within the frequency band 3525 MHz to
3550 MHz.
The
modulation scheme for both the uplink and downlink direction is pi/4 shifted
differential quadrature phase shift keying (p/4DQPSK)
with a nominal symbol rate of [*] symbols/s. The gross data rate is [*] kbits/s
per carrier.
Reserved
channels are used to allow contention access by terminals. These access channels
are not available for carrying subscribers’ voice or data traffic.
2.3.1.2 Channel
plan
The
Internet FWA system operates over 78 RF channels, with a nominal channel spacing
of 307.2 kHz. The lowest uplink channel (Ch. 2) has a nominal centre frequency
of 3425.8944 MHz. The highest downlink channel (Ch. 79) has a nominal centre
frequency of 3549.3888 MHz. The fixed duplex spacing is equivalent to 325 times
the channel spacing.

circuit-switched connection, or one half of a 64 kbit/s PCM circuit-switched
connection.
2.3.1.4 MAC layer
for the Packet data service
Physical
channels can be allocated in groups of six to carry packet-mode traffic. One
group of six physical channels is described as a packet channel.

2.3.2.1 Maximum
transmit power
The
maximum transmit power from the ITS is not less than 28 dBm for each carrier,
measured at the antenna port of the TMU.

The
transmitted signal from the ITS is a close approximation to an ideal
p/4DQPSK
signal. The additional carrier to noise margin required to demodulate the
practical transmitted signal, compared to an ideal signal is less than 1
dB.

and with the receiver tuned to the centre of the appropriate adjacent
channel.
2.3.2.4 Minimum
receiver sensitivity

The ITS
receiver selectivity is specified in terms of the level of interfering signal
consistent with a bit error ratio (BER) for the wanted signal of less than
10-3 before
FEC. The interfering signal is assumed to be from a signal source with the ideal
characteristics of the Internet FWA radio system, centered on the applicable

The
maximum transmit power from the RSS is not less than 44.5 dBm EIRP in RF
channels 8 to 73 inclusive, and not less than 41.5 dBm EIRP in the remaining
channels. This transmit power specification applies to the complete RTU
including the antenna.
2.3.3.2 Transmitter
implementation loss
The
transmitted signal from the RSS is a close approximation to an ideal
p/4DQPSK
signal. The additional carrier to noise margin required to demodulate the

2.3.3.4 Minimum
receiver sensitivity
The
receiver sensitivity for the RSS is not greater than [*] dBm in RF channels 8 to
73 inclusive, and not greater than [*] dBm in the remaining channels. The
received signal is measured at the connector of the RTU antenna, for a bit error
ratio (BER) of 10-3 before
forward error correction. This measurement assumes an ideal
transmitter.

The RSS
receiver selectivity is specified in terms of the level of interfering signal
consistent with a bit error ratio (BER) for the wanted signal of less than

2.3.3.6 RSS
receiver dynamic range
The
dynamic range of the RSS receiver is from the limit of sensitivity to -20 dBm,
measured at the antenna connector of the RTU. Over this dynamic range the BER of
the received signal (measured before forward error correction) is not greater
than 10-3.
2.3.3.7 RSS
antenna gain
The gain
of the RSS antenna is between [*] dBi and [*] dBi at the peak of the response.
The nominal beamwidth is 14 degrees (i.e. ± 7
degrees). The rejection of cross-polar signals in the main antenna response is
not less than 20 dB compared to a co-polar signal of identical level. The
maximum level of side-lobe responses is [*] dBi, and this limit applies at
azimuth angles from 22 degrees to 338 degrees with respect to the peak
response.
2.3.4
Automatic
power control
To
minimise interference in the network, the system incorporates automatic uplink
RF power control whereby the ITS attempts to maintain a constant received signal
strength (RSSI) of -80dBm for each active call or packet connection. If the RSSI
strays from this target, the ITS will send a message to the appropriate RSS
requesting an appropriate modification to the uplink RF power. The ITS normally
integrates the RSSI over a 30s period before deciding whether an adjustment is
required although there is a faster attack period at the start of a call or
packet connection. At the end of a call or connection, the RSS calculates a new
RF power that will be used to initiate the next call or connection on the same
RF channel.
Page

Annex D
-Product Specifications
Purchase
and License Agreement for FWA Equipment-December 2004
To
maintain an appropriate initial uplink RF power level during extended periods of
call inactivity, network test calls are automatically scheduled to each RSS on
each of its operating channels. Just as is the case for normal calls, the uplink
RF power is adjusted appropriately at the end of a network test call. The
scheduling period is normally set to 23 hours.
2.3.5
Combining
diversity
In ITS
configurations with 2 or more TMUs per sector, the system is configured to
execute two-path maximum ratio combining in the uplink. The implementation of
this feature delivers the theoretical benefit of maximum ratio combining with
less than 1 dB implementation loss.
The TMU
receiver is wideband and covers all of the uplink spectrum. This means that the
IF signals from 2 TMUs in the same sector differ only by virtue of being
received from 2 physically separated antennas. The two I.F signals are fed to
separate arms of each receiver pair of every TBM in the sector. The TBM hosts
three such receiver pairs where each pair is configured to an appropriate
channel. The maximum ratio combining algorithm is executed independently on each
receiver pair.
2.3.6
Dynamic
carrier list management
Dynamic
carrier list management feature allows each RSS to modify the classification of
individual RF carriers in response to periodic measurements of the received
(downlink) signal. Each RSS notifies the ITS of changes in carrier
classification, allowing the ITS to allocate channels with a priority reflecting
the recent quality of downlink carriers. This feature has proven to be effective
in combating the effects of static frequency-selective fading, and minimizing
the impact of downlink radio interference from nearby RBSs in the same network.
This feature is extremely valuable in networks where tri-sector and
tri/hex-sector RBSs are built in adjacent or nearby cells.

The
column ‘ITS sector organization’ denotes the number of RF carriers than are
enabled in each sector. No relationship is implied between the position of the
elements of this list and the numbering of ITS sectors; thus a sector
organization of 6.6.5 applies equally to configurations where the five-carrier
sector is ITS sector 1, 2 or 3.
The
tri/hex configuration is described as 6.6.4. The six-carrier sectors are
associated with the hex-sectored antennas, and the four-carrier sector is
associated with the tri-sectored antennas. By default, the tri-sector is ITS
sector 1.

Annex D
-Product Specifications
Purchase
and License Agreement for FWA Equipment-December 2004
The
following rules apply:
· |
Where
PDS is required at an ITS, two TPM-PDs must be
fitted. |
· |
Each
TPM requires one E1 connection between the ITS and the local
exchange. |
· |
Each
TPM-PD requires one E1 connection between the ITS and the service
gateway. |
Some of
the base station configurations make use of more than one ITS. PDS can be
enabled or disabled on a ‘per-ITS’ basis, and so it is possible to create a
multi-ITS configuration where only one or two of the ITSs has PDS
enabled.
2.4.2
PSTN
traffic capacity
The PSTN
traffic capacity of the supported RBS configurations is detailed in the table
below. Note these figures apply where PDS is not provided; the PSTN capacity of
an ITS with PDS is necessarily lower.

The
reference capacity is defined as the capacity at 1% probability of blocking for
long ADPCM calls, with the optimum distribution of traffic loading between ITS
sectors.
The
soft-sector capacity assumes that 10% of the traffic loading arises from
subscribers in the overlap regions between sectors, and that the soft-sectored
load is distributed evenly between three overlap regions (3.3% of the total load
in each overlap). In 26-carrier RBSs of type III and IV, and 27-carrier RBSs of
type II, there is only one overlap region where a benefit is derived from soft
sectoring; in these cases, the capacity gain is relatively small. In the
tri/hex-sectored ITS, soft-sectoring is not enabled between
hex-sectors.
One ITS
with V5.2 interface can support a maximum of 2048 PSTN lines, and a maximum of
2048 RSSs.
2.4.3
Packet
data traffic capacity
2.4.3.1 Number of
packet channels at an ITS
Packet
channels at an ITS can be configured subject to the following
rules:
Page
12
Annex D
-Product Specifications
Purchase
and License Agreement for FWA Equipment-December 2004
· |
Packet
data can be supported by ITSs with sector arrangement 6.6.6, 6.6.5, 8, 9,
9.8, 9.9, 6.6.4 (tri/hex) |
· |
All
packet channels consist of 6 physical channel
pairs |
· |
An
ITS that supports PDS has two TPM-PDs |
· |
One
TPM-PD may support zero to four packet channels
inclusive |
· |
One
ITS supports a maximum of 36 physical channels (i.e. six packet
channels) |
· |
The
largest packet partition allowed in one sector is three packet
channels |
· |
In
bi-sector or tri-sector ITSs, if the ITS provides PDS then each sector
must have at least one packet channel |
· |
In
a tri-sector ITS, the sum of the number of packet channels in the smallest
two packet partitions must not exceed four. This ensures that sectors will
not be split across TPM-PDs. |
2.4.3.2 Number of
simultaneous PPP and MAC connections
The
packet data service supports a maximum of:
· |
700
packet data subscribers per ITS |
· |
[*]
simultaneous PPP connections per ITS |
· |
[*]
simultaneous active MAC connections per packet
channel |
· |
[*]
simultaneous active MAC connections per
TPM-PD |
· |
[*]
simultaneous active MAC connections per ITS |
2.4.3.3 Traffic
capacity of a packet channel
Each
packet channel (consisting of six physical channels) provides a shared channel
with an aggregate capacity for users’ packet data traffic of not less than [*]
kbps in the downlink direction, and not less than 84 kbps in the uplink
direction. PPP, TCP and IP headers applied at the users’ computers are assumed
to form part of the useful throughput.
2.4.3.4 Peak
throughput for a single PDS user
The peak
throughput for a single user is approximately 96 kbps in the downlink direction
(using the USB interface) and approximately 92 kbps in the downlink direction
(using the RS-232 interface). The peak throughput for a single user is
approximately 42 kbps in the uplink direction.
Note that
these are peak figures, and apply when the user has exclusive use of three
physical channels. In normal operation, the packet channel capacity is shared
between a number of users, and mean throughput figures for individual users will
be lower than these peak values. The operator must ensure that sufficient packet
channels are configured to offer reasonable quality of service to packet data
subscribers.
2.4.3.5 Reduction
in PSTN capacity
The
remaining PSTN traffic capacity at an RBS with packet data service is defined in
the following table. These figures assume that 10% of the offered traffic is
from soft-sectored terminals.

External
interfaces
2.5.1
ITS
to transmission system
The
interface between the ITS and the transmission system is defined by
ITU-T
G.703
11/2001, ‘Physical/electrical characteristics of hierarchical digital
interfaces’. Only the interface at 2048 kbit/s is supported in Internet
FWA.
As an
additional requirement, Internet FWA requires that the long-term frequency
accuracy of the E1 signal from the transmission system is better than
10-7 (0.1
ppm). Transmission equipment does not normally re-time digital traffic, and so
this frequency accuracy is usually dependent on correct configuration of the
local exchange (for PSTN connections) or the packet data network.
Internet
FWA complies with ITU-T G.823, ‘The control of jitter and wander within digital
networks which are based on the 2048 kbit/s hierarchy’.
2.5.2
ITS
to local exchange
The
framing structure of the signal between the ITS and the local exchange is
defined by ITU-T G.704 10/1998, ‘Synchronous frame structures used at 1544,
6312, 2048, 8448 and 44 736 kbit/s hierarchical levels’, and ITU-T G.706
04/1991, ‘Frame alignment and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) procedures relating
to basic frame structures defined in Recommendation G.704’.
The voice
coding for circuit-switched traffic complies with ITU-T G.711 11/1988, ‘Pulse
code modulation (PCM) of voice frequencies’.
Signaling
between the ITS and the local exchange uses the V5.2 protocol, defined in the
ETSI V5.1 Specification ETS 300 324-1, V 1.2.2, ‘V-Interfaces at the digital
local exchange (LE) - V5.1-Interface (based on 2048 kbit/s) for the support of
access network (AN)’, and ETSI V5.2 Specification ETS 300 347-1, V 2.1.2,
‘V-interfaces at the digital local exchange (LE) - V5.2 interface (based on 2048
kbit/s) for the support of access network (AN)’. Only requirements for PSTN
services apply to Internet FWA.
2.5.3
ITS
to packet data network
Internet
FWA requires that the E1 signal from the packet data network must comply with
the framing structure defined in ITU-T G.704 (see above for a detailed
reference). Time-slot zero contains a frame synchronization signal, and the
remaining 31 time-slots are joined together to provide a connection with an
aggregate capacity of 1984 kbit/s.

Annex D
-Product Specifications
Purchase
and License Agreement for FWA Equipment-December 2004
The
layer-2 tunnel between the ITS and the packet data network uses a protocol stack
consisting of the point-to-point protocol (PPP), Internet protocol (IP), user
datagram protocol (UDP) and the layer-2 tunneling protocol (L2TP). These
protocols are defined as follows:
· |
PPP:
Internet engineering task force (IETF) STD 51, ‘The point to point
protocol’ |
· |
IP:
IETF RFC 791, ‘Internet protocol’ |
· |
UDP:
IETF RFC 768, ‘User datagram protocol’ |
· |
L2TP:
IETF XXX 0000, ‘Layer two tunnelling protocol
(L2TP)’ |
2.5.4
RDA
to PC
The RDA
provides a choice of two different serial data standards at the PC-RDA
interface:
· |
Asynchronous
serial interface (commonly known as RS-232) as defined in
ANSI/TIA/EIA-232-F-1997, Interface Between Data Terminal Equipment and
Data Circuit-Terminating Equipment Employing Serial Binary Data
Interchange, and |
· |
Universal
Serial Bus (USB), using the ‘full-speed’ option, as defined in Universal
Serial Bus specification, Rev. 1.1 and USB class definitions for
communications devices, Rev. 1.0. |
2.5.5
Shortly after the introduction of the New F6 RSS unit the RDA will be replaced
with a dongle that will provide the same functionality as the existing RDA
unit.
2.6. Additional
Specifications
2.6.1 In
addition to the Product’s Specifications set forth in this Annex D, the Parties
agree to include as part of this Annex D the Product’s Specifications that will
be set forth in the Compact Discs to be named as: (i) Internet Fixed Wireless
Access, MR 14.0.3 “Customer Documentation Suite” and (ii) Internet Fixed
Wireless Access, Maintenance Release MR 14.0.3 System Line Up that will be
delivered with MR14.03 in February 2003.
2.6.2 New RSS
Unit
Summary
of the RSS changes
The new
Proximity RSS Unit shall have the same form, function and fit of both of the
current RSS Equipment jointly (the F2 and F5 based RSS equipment), pursuant the
specifications provided to Axtel by Airspan and Nortel Networks (as the former
manufacturer). The New RSS Unit will be known as the F6.
The
changes are summarised as follows:
· |
Airspan
shall supply a single variant of the RSS. In particular, all RTUs will
contain a packet data interface suitable for interconnection with the
existing RDA. |
· |
The
48 volt indoor power supply, known as the RPCU, shall be revised to remove
unused functionality. |
· |
The
RTU environmental specification shall be changed so that the low operating
temperature limit will be -20 C rather than -40
C. |
· |
The
New RSS will incorporate the original Drop Cable Connector (NTEG
99GR) |

and License Agreement for FWA Equipment-December 2004
Single
variant RSS
In
accordance with the Amendment Agreement No2, all New RSS Units will be supplied
with a packet data interface, i.e. the RSS will be ‘packet data ready’. This
will potentially enable Axtel to supply existing subscribers requesting the
packet data service with an RDA or equivalent device without the need for
replacing the XXX.
00
volt indoor power supply
It had
been agreed that a revised solution for the indoor power supply will be
supplied. A number of solutions are possible, but relative to the current RPCU,
the following specification changes are included:
· |
Eliminate
the mains buzzer functionality, which is understood to be disabled by the
Axtel installation teams. |
· |
Remove
the 2 secondary RJ11 sockets: It is understood that a remote RJ11 Box is
the preferred Axtel method of installation.
|
· |
Restrict
the mains input voltage to Mexican requirements: The current RPCU is
designed for the global marketplace and operates with input voltages from
85volts to 270volts ac. The power supply will be redesigned specifically
to suit Mexican requirements (88volts to 132 volts ac). Output power
ratings will remain unchanged. |
· |
The
RPCU plastics material will remain essentially unchanged, but will
incorporate additional spacer/wider lugs and the blanking of the fins to
reduce the likelihood of Water and Bug. |
Should
there be any changes in mechanical form of the power supply, these will be
agreed with Axtel in due course.
Change
to RTU lower operating temperature limit
The RTU
environmental specification will be changed so that the low operating
temperature limit will be -20 C rather than -40 C. This is believed to be
acceptable for deployments in Mexico.
Single
outer sheath drop cable
For the
avoidance of doubt there will be no change to the existing specification, which
already states the dual outer sheath drop cable.
F6
support in SR14.2
The F6
RTU will require a new software image and support for this will be provided in
the SR14.2 system release.
Others
A
separate label will be added to the RTU to distinguish between and F6 from other
RTU’s

1.2 Return
and Replace Service
Airspan
Networks will register and manage requests for Return and Replace service during
Airspan’ normal business days and hours in the location where the service is
being performed.
Upon
receiving Axtel’s request, Airspan will allocate a part request number (also
known as a Return Material Authorization number) to each FRU to be replaced and
will notify Axtel in writing of the relevant part request number.
Following
allocation of the part request number(s) Airspan will repair or replace the unit
and will deliver the repaired unit or an equivalent to Axtel within 60 days of
receipt by Airspan at the place where the repair or replacement is carried out
(the “R&R
Time Limit”).
On-site
repair and on-site replacement services by Airspan are not included with the
Return and Replace Service.
1.2.1 Like

and License Agreement for FWA Equipment (December 2004)
These
Stock Products shall be kept by Axtel in its own facilities in México and Axtel
shall manage such Stock Products at its sole discretion to create a replacement
process for damaged parts as a “Like for Like” replacement process.
The
Parties hereby agree that Airspan shall be obligated to increase the Stock
Products by one piece of the respective part number, if Airspan is more than
five (5) days late under section 1.2 of Part Two above, in the repair and return
of such part (this shall be accounted by pieces).
1.2.2 Axtel
Responsibilities for Return and Replace Services
Axtel
will be required to:
· |
Pay
the expense of shipping a defective FRU to Airspan’s warehouse or logistic
center defined for this purposes. |
· |
Use
the specifically-assigned part request number(s) provided by Airspan and
include completed Airspan Fault Report Forms when returning any
FRU |
· |
Adhere
to Airspan’ packing instructions (including anti-static precautions) when
returning the defective unit. The packing instructions will be included
with the return instructions accompanying the replacement
FRU |
· |
Put
the replacement FRU into service once it has been returned by Airspan to
Axtel. |
1.2.3 Assumptions
for Repair Services
The
following assumptions will govern the provision of repair Services for Products
covered by the warranty in the Warranty Period:
· |
Airspan
will incur the expense of shipping the repaired unit or the replacement
unit to Axtel using a method and carrier selected by Airspan. Airspan is
responsible for loss of, or damage to, an FRU while it is in Airspan’
possession or in transit to Axtel, as well as to pay all applicable
duties, taxes, and other charges associated with the importation of the
repaired or replacement FRU into the country of destination.
|
· |
Unless
required for operational reasons and agreed upon with Airspan, the
replacement FRU will be at the then-current hardware and firmware release
levels as they are made Generally Available (GA) by Airspan. Upon a
specific request of Axtel for repair of a quantity of RTUs with a specific
software release version, the parties will work together to define a
mutually agreeable process to satisfy such specific request, provided that
such a process does not cause Airspan to incur any out of pocket expenses
or material additional cost. |

Xxxxx X -
Xxxxxxxx Services
Purchase
and License Agreement for FWA Equipment (December 2004)
· |
Warranty
on FRU repaired by Airspan shall be limited to one hundred and eighty
(180) days from delivery of the repaired FRU or to the end of the original
warranty period, whichever is longer. |
· |
The
defective FRU returned to Airspan becomes the property of Airspan and,
subject to Airspan’ receipt of the defective FRU, its replacement becomes
Axtel’s property. |
Airspan
reserves the right to reject the return of any FRU that does not clearly
display the specific part request Return Material Authorization
(“RMA”)
number or does not include the associated completed Airspan fault report
forms. |
· |
Airspan
will from time to time assess Products offered and supported. The
assessment will be based on technology, market development, product
deployment, and support requirements and may identify certain Products
that will be discontinued. Airspan reserves the right to terminate any
service purchased by Axtel for products that have been discontinued.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the FWA PLA, continued support for
any discontinued products beyond the effective date of discontinuance may
be provided in accordance with the terms and conditions as stated in the
FWA PLA. |
· |
The
service will be furnished by Airspan or a party authorized by Airspan.
|
· |
As
part of the repair service, Airspan will monitor all faulty product
returns for No Fault Found (“NFF”)
from Axtel. All repair cases resulting in “no fault found” will not be
charged to Axtel.
In
the event that such Product presents again in the field within 180 days of
return date the same failures as noticed by Axtel, Airspan shall repair or
replace, within 60 days of receipt of the FRU, such Product at its cost
and expense. |
· |
If,
in the judgment of Airspan, the returned FRU has been damaged by misuse,
accident, modification or failure to maintain the proper physical or
operating environment or improper maintenance by Axtel, then Airspan will
return the defective un-repaired FRU to Axtel at Axtel’s
expense. |
· |
It
is critical that Axtel regularly ship all defective Products to Airspan,
as and when defects are detected, to avoid the accumulation of defective
Products that will impact Airspan's ability to meet the target turnaround
times. |
· |
In
the case of Product replaced at Airspan discretion, and which would be
returned with a different Serial Number to Axtel, the proper documentation
shall be provided by Airspan for Axtel’s asset controls to evidence which
serial number is replaced. |
1.2.4 Exclusions

Interim
Solution |
If
a temporary solution is provided that eliminates Axtels pain until a
permanent solution can be delivered, RQMS requirements allow the case to
be set to an “IS” status during this window of time if approved by the
Axtel. In calculating case age, this interval will be discounted if the
permanent fix was delivered on the negotiated commitment date. If the
permanent fix does not resolve the reported problem, case status shall be
changed to Work in Progress (Level 1 or 2). If the case is returned to a
Work in Progress (Level 1 or 2) status after using the IS, the IS time
period will be added to the RQMS age of the case. |

Requirements to use this status include Axtel consent; fix identification,
and delivery commitment. This status code does not add time to the RQMS
age of the case unless the solution fails and the case is moved back to
Work in Progress (Level 1 or 2) status. If the case is returned to a Work
