2 Introduction
This section provides a descriptive overview of the Air4G and its place in the product suite.
2.1 Air4G
Air4G is a highly integrated macro-cell base station with all-in-one packaging of RF and baseband
components. Air4G includes integrated quad RF transceivers to support four channel diversity
and MIMO. It is available as an all outdoor solution for LTE & Mobile WiMAX applications to
minimize physical footprint and operator OPEX.
Air4G implements dual 40dBm (10W) transmitters in 2.x GHz, dual 38 dBm (6.3W) in 700 MHz,
dual 37dBm (5W) transmitters in 3.x GHz and dual 35dBm (2W) in the 5.x GHz band.
Air4G is an outdoor radio that is mounted outside on a pole or wall. Air4G is available in
numerous frequency bands and in numerous channels. For more details please consult the Air4G
Product Spec.
Air4G is managed by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using standard
and proprietary MIBs. Basic management can be performed using any standard Web browser.
Note:
For management refer to Air4G Commissioning documentation.
2.1.1 Deployment Description
A highly flexible and scalable 4G Base Station, the Air4G is capable of supporting either LTE or
Mobile WiMAX profiles across multiple frequency bands.
Note:
The following is for illustration only; actual layout may differ as
infrastructure is installation-specific.
Note:
Air4G must be properly grounded according with NEC and other local
safety code requirements.
Note:
Installation of the GPS Lightning/Surge protector (ordered separately)
is necessary to protect the GPS antenna. The Lightning/Surge protector must
be properly grounded with NEC and other local safety code requirements.
Note:
(U.S.A. – WCS market only) A Cavity filter is required for the 2.3 GHz
variant (ordered separately).
Note:
An External Duplexer is required for some FDD variants (supplied with
Air4G, where required).
Two options for cascading three (3) sectors are illustrated below:
