  • Patent number: 11758423
    Abstract: Disclosed is a virtual base station capable of hosting multiple network operators and/or private networks in a single compute environment. The virtual base station includes a plurality of virtual baseband processors configured to communicate with the plurality of mobile network operators, a supervisor module, a fronthaul network interface configured to be coupled to one or more remote units, and a KPI (Key Performance Indicator) coordinator module coupled to the supervisor module and the one or more virtual baseband processors. The base station may have on or more CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) Daemons to act as a proxy for obtaining grants to CBRS channels and allocating the CBRS channels to the mobile network operators.

  • Patent number: 10623073
    Abstract: A mounting arrangement for securing a remote radio unit in combination with a telecommunications tower or elevated structure for mounting a telecommunication antenna. The mounting arrangement includes a docking station comprising: (i) a control unit having at least two openings through an upper wall of the control unit for receiving each remote radio unit, (ii) a sealing gasket disposed about the periphery of each opening; (iii) at least one pair of guide rails projecting upwardly from the upper wall of the control unit and between the at least two openings, and (iv) a mechanism for producing a watertight seal between the control unit and each remote unit. The control unit defines an internal enclosure for housing an electronic interface configured to provide digital energy and exchange data between each remote unit and a base station. The guide rails of the docking station are configured to slidably receive, and guide each of the remote unit into the openings of the control unit.

  • Publication number: 20160294500
    Abstract: A power-data distribution system including a packet energy transfer (PET) system, a converter, a conductive cable and a fiber optic cable. The PET system transmits discrete packets of digital energy and produces a continuous stream of analog power. The converter reduces the analog power from the first to a second potential, wherein the second potential is lower than a threshold potential. A conductive cable transmits the discrete packets of digital energy from a power source to a load while a fiber optic cable exchanges data between a data source and the target device.

  • Patent number: 7280546
    Abstract: A system and method for providing wireless Internet protocol access is provided. A network entity may be coupled to both a second generation and a third generation network access node. The network entity may intercept a request from a mobile node and determine whether the mobile node desires services from the second or third generation network. The network entity may then establish the proper communication session based on the type of session requested by the mobile node. By employing the network entity, service providers can effectively migrate from the second generation network architecture to the third generation architecture with minimal or no loss of services for users. Also, employing such a network entity enables users to operate a bi-functional mobile node, such as one that requires both second and third generation network access.
