Markham Field Testing Activities 2005

 

Project Description

 

Motorola’s Markham facility (8133 Warden Ave at the intersection of 407 and Warden) is responsible for certifying/testing a new wireless broadband communications system which operates within the 2.4 and 4.9 GHz bands.

 

In order to execute the outdoor/field testing component, Motorola is seeking approval from the Town of Markham to deploy communications equipment on municipal property at mutually agreed upon locations within Markham (to cover an area approximately 1 sq. mile in size).

 

The outdoor deployment will consist of access points and wireless backhaul devices.  Motorola will perform a coverage area design and anticipates that approximately 20 devices in total will be installed on street lights and/or hydro poles within a 1 sq. mile coverage area.

 

It is important to note that the outdoor deployment is for Motorola internal R&D and testing use only.  No public customers will be live on the system (although the system may be used for demonstrations).

Important Dates

 

Approval to proceed with the outdoor deployment needs to be secured by the mid March 2005 timeframe to permit full deployment by April 1st 2005.

Anticipated Duration of Deployment

 

The anticipated duration of the deployment is 1-2 years.  In addition, there are no plans for expansion beyond the 1 sq. mile coverage area at this point.

Installation Notes

 

Motorola plans to engage a 3rd party contractor to install the necessary equipment and make appropriate electrical connections.
