9 /9 / FirstNet Deployables – Must Work in System Context
Interoperability and Standards Compliance PSCR Interoperability Testing
3GPP Standards Compliance
Synchronization of Network Deployable Sites Added or Deleted Users Must be Synchronized to All Sites
Connection from the Deployable Sites to an External Home Subscriber Server (HSS) Outside of the Deployable Network
Ensuring Bandwidth Requirements are Sufficient Deployables, Since they are Mobile in Nature, Usually Need NLOS Microwave Which
has Lower throughput than LOS Microwave
