RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW Chapter 1 User Guide Introduction Introduction RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW is a standalone service that enables select RUGGEDCOM WIN base stations (and their associated subscriber unit) to operate on the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), a shared wireless broadband spectrum scheme for the 3550 to 3700 MHz band. CBRS uses a Spectrum Access System (SAS) to control access for registered base stations and subscriber unit (classified as Citizens Broadband radio Service Devices or CBSDs).
Chapter 1 RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW Introduction User Guide • Web-Based User Interface RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW provides a simple, intuitive user interface for configuration and monitoring via a standard graphical Web browser user interface. Section 1.2 Security Recommendations To prevent unauthorized access to RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW, note the following security recommendations: Authentication • Replace all default passwords before RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW is deployed. • Use strong passwords.
RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW Chapter 1 User Guide Introduction Policy • Periodically audit the RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW installation and configuration to make sure it complies with these recommendations and/or any internal security policies. • Review the user documentation for other Siemens products used in coordination with RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW for further security recommendations. Section 1.
Chapter 1 RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW Introduction User Guide • Section 1.3.5, “Spectrum Acquisition” Section 1.3.1 Spectrum Access System Prior to 2014, the 3.5 GHz band was largely reserved in the United States for authorized federal users, such as the Department of Defense, Fixed Satellite Systems (FSSs) and select wireless ISPs. These users were granted priority access to the full 150 MHz spectrum, but only used a small fraction at any given time.
RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW Chapter 1 User Guide Introduction Section 1.3.3 ESC Sensor A key component of the SAS is an Environmental Sensing Capability (ESC) sensor. This sensor detects federal transmissions, such as those from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administation (NOAA). When a federal transmission is received, the SAS establishes a protection zone and revokes spectrum access for all devices in the zone. RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW responds by requesting grants for another part of the spectrum band.
Chapter 1 RUGGEDCOM SAS-GW Introduction User Guide SAS-GW uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to monitor the status of the SAS server and the device. Should the device stop responding, the associated spectrum will be released back to the SAS server. Should the SAS server stop responding, the device will be allowed to continue transmitting on the assigned spectrum. Section 1.
