Minimum separation distances
Install the AP or SM so as to provide and maintain the minimum separation distances from people.
The minimum separation distances for each frequency variants are specified in the PMP 450 Planning
Guide.
Important regulatory information
The PMP 450 product is certified as an unlicensed device in frequency bands where it is not allowed to
cause interference to licensed services (called primary users of the bands).
Radar avoidance
In countries where radar systems are the primary band users, the regulators have mandated special
requirements to protect these systems from interference caused by unlicensed devices. Unlicensed devices
must detect and avoid co-channel operation with radar systems.
Installers and users must meet all local regulatory requirements for radar detection. To meet these
requirements, users must set the correct region code during commissioning of the PMP 450. If this is not
done, installers and users may be liable to civil and criminal penalties.
Contact the Cambium helpdesk if more guidance is required.
USA and Canada specific information
The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has asked manufacturers to implement special
features to prevent interference to radar systems that operate in the 5250-5350 and 5470-5725 MHz bands.
These features must be implemented in all products able to operate outdoors in the UNII band. The use of
the 5600 – 5650 MHz band is prohibited, even with detect-and-avoid functionality implemented.
Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate outside of FCC rules;
specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar protection functions that have been
demonstrated to the FCC.
In order to comply with these FCC requirements, Cambium supplies variants of the PMP 450 for operation
in the USA or Canada. These variants are only allowed to operate with region codes that comply with
FCC/IC rule.
