 CRD for FirstNet Overview

The CRD can roll through standard doorways and onto most elevators. They are transported on any
2" Class 3 or better trailer hitch with no modification to the carrying vehicle. This transportation
method allows the CRD to be carried anywhere the SUV/Truck can maneuver. It is not towed
behind the vehicle like a trailer, but rides wheels-up, like a cargo-carrier. This eliminates ongoing
fees like registration, licensing and insurance, that would typically be required for trailers.

 CRD for FirstNet Use Cases

DISASTER
An incident has occurred (Hurricane, Fire, Flood,
Earthquake, Tornado, Terrorism, etc.) where FirstNet
Cellular service is disrupted or not available. You deploy
your CRD for FirstNet. No Internet or network LTE of any
kind is available, so the system uses the high-speed
satellite service to supply Internet to the FirstNet radio. All
FirstNet cell phones and devices up to two miles function
normally. Non-FirstNet devices within 500’ can use the
Wi-Fi signal. Non-FirstNet cell phones within 500’ can
make phone calls using the Wi-Fi Calling feature.

PLANNED EVENT

You need to work in a remote area or provide internet to

an area away from normal cell service. This could be a
remote hospital, a concert or festival, fire, remote Law
Enforcement operation, etc. You transport your CRD to
the site on any trailer hitch, using a 4WD vehicle if
needed to traverse rough terrain. Within 15 minutes from
arrival, you established a FirstNet cell site and Wi-Fi
Hotspot. The generator and expanded fuel system keep
the CRD running for 60 hours before refueling.

 CRD for FirstNet Deployment

The CRD is not just a cell tower. It is designed to do many jobs. There are multiple ways it can be
deployed. The CRD has multiple pathways it uses to talk to the internet and the outside world. This
is generally called WAN, or Wide Area Network. In the Cellular world, this is called Backhaul. The
Cradlepoint router manages this traffic and uses Ethernet (wired internet), Wi-Fi from another
source, high speed satellite or cellular network SIM cards to communicate with any working cell
towers in the area for internet connectivity. Different SIM cards can be used based on which
working cell towers are available, and can be easily changed as needed using a screwdriver.
Instructions for this can be found in the Owners Manual & User Guides.
The pathways the CRD uses to communicate with you are called LAN, or Local Area Network.
Cellular networks sometimes refer to this as User Access.

Warning: It is important to understand that you cannot simultaneously transmit FirstNet cellular
from the CRD while FirstNet SIM cards are in the Cradlepoint router. Use your FirstNet SIM cards
only when providing Wi-Fi and/or wired ethernet with the FirstNet cell tower radio off.

SIM CARD USAGE Using different SIM Cards

SIM cards are small integrated chips that hold a unique identification number, phone number and
other data that links to the customer's cellular/LTE provider's account. In the CRD, SIM cards in the
Cradlepoint modem are used to communicate with the local cellular towers to bring data to the unit.

The CRD can become a local cellular tower by using the contained SBO FirstNet Cellular radio to
transmit a FirstNet LTE cell signal. When using the FirstNet Cellular radio with the mast and
antenna, the CRD has effectively become a local FirstNet LTE cell tower.

It is important to remember that there cannot be the

same carrier of SIM in the Cradlepoint as the signal
being transmitted through the CRD radio and mast.

The SIM will lock onto the CRD cell tower and create a no-data loop. For example, if the CRD is
transmitting as a FirstNet cell tower, there cannot be black FirstNet SIMs in the Cradlepoint.

In some use cases, the CRD does not need to transmit FirstNet LTE, but needs to provide internet to
a building that has lost its internet connection. In these cases, it is recommended to put black
FirstNet SIMs into the Cradlepoint and let them communicate with either a local FirstNet cell tower
or an AT&T tower for high-speed internet access with priority and preemption.

 CRD for FirstNet Configurations

Four Standard Configurations + Use Examples

1. TERRESTRIAL BACKHAUL (WAN) Satellite OFF - FirstNet mast/radio OFF

This configuration is used where you have a ready supply of Internet (WAN) from an Ethernet cable
plugged into the CRD, Wi-Fi from a local source, or good Cellular signal from a Cellular network
using SIM cards (including FirstNet SIM) in Cradlepoint router. The CRD is providing internet to the
users (LAN) using wired internet (ethernet) and Wi-Fi. The satellite terminal and FirstNet mast are
not needed.

This configuration is used where you have a ready supply of Internet from an Ethernet cable
plugged into the CRD, Wi-Fi from a local source, or good Cellular signal from a cellular network not
including FirstNet. This is because you cannot broadcast a FirstNet signal from the CRD’s FirstNet
mast/radio and attempt to backhaul to the FirstNet network cell towers at the same time. The CRD
is providing Ethernet, Wi-Fi and up to two miles of FirstNet Cellular service. The satellite terminal is
not needed.

Provide wired Ethernet to a building using any LTE network except FirstNet as backhaul
Provide FirstNet Cellular service backhauled to any LTE network except FirstNet

4. SATELLITE BACKHAUL (WAN) Satellite ON - FirstNet mast/radio ON

This configuration is used where you do not have a supply of Internet (WAN) from terrestrial
sources. The high-speed satellite terminal is deployed to provide Internet WAN connectivity. The
FirstNet mast is raised on the CRD providing (LAN) Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and up to two miles of FirstNet
Cellular service.

NOTE: The satellite may be used in all configurations. If there are other WAN sources, the Cradlepoint router will automatically place the satellite
in ready stand-by. If the other WAN source goes down, the satellite will automatically connect as the WAN source.

FIRST RESPONDER KA-BAND SATELLITE DATA PLANS

Customer establishes their own ViaSat satellite data plan.
First Responder data plans have “high-priority” satellite access on the ViaSat satellite system.
High-priority satellite access plans supersede/preempt all aviation, commercial or home users.
SLA is 18 Mbps downlink X 5 Mbps uplink. Bursts may exceed 30 Mbps X 10 Mbps.
No throttling or shut-off if you go over your annual data usage limit.

OPEX ANNUAL COST INFORMATION

Overage use billing for a major incident can be separately charged to the incident budget. When this
happens, your annual data plan resets. Note that most training events test the satellite and then switch
the rest of the training to LTE backhaul. As mentioned, major incident data usage can be charged against
the incident.
Larger pooled data plans are available to allow one or more CRDs anywhere in the country to use data
from the same data plan. There is only one annual bill for all CRDs on a pooled plan. All plans must be
pre-paid.
Most data usage occurs from recreational video viewing and video gaming. Controlling recreational usage
on your data plan will allow a lower annual data plan to be sufficient for most agencies.
