In certain countries, the spectrum for this product is
NOT
considered to be license-exempt. In
these cases, there may be additional regulatory requirements concerning the location, frequency,
power, orientation, configuration, and other aspects of the system, including, in some cases, a
need for link registration, coordination, and fees that may apply to the system usage. Please
consult your local regulatory organization(s) to determine usage requirements.
The EX-4.9i utilizes frequencies in the 4940-4990MHz range, and is typically a licensed band
reserved for use by Public Safety agencies and applications. This band is not generally available
outside of North America.
In almost all cases, either for license-exempt or other designation, the product itself must be
authorized for use in your country. Either Exalt or Exalt’s agent must have applied for
certification or authorization to allow the sale and deployment of the system within the country.
It is also possible that only certain versions or configurations of the device are allowed within a
particular country. Please contact Exalt or your authorized Exalt representative for information
pertaining to your country.
It is the (professional) installer’s responsibility to ensure that the radio
system is implemented in a legal fashion. Exalt is not liable for any unsafe or
illegal installations.
Basic Features
The r-Series Digital Microwave Radio is intended for all-outdoor mounting. It is accompanied
with an indoor-mounted power injector. In some cases, the EX-5r may also be mounted indoors
or in an enclosure. Depending on the configuration purchased, the associated antenna is either
integrated as part of the unit or connected separately.
For the integrated antenna model, the entire unit is typically mounted on a tower or rooftop mast
structure, with Ethernet/Power and other optional interface cables running from the unit location,
through a structure penetration, and to the power injector and connected communications
equipment.
For the external antenna model, the unit is typically mounted very close to the external antenna
to minimize RF cabling and associated losses. Alternatively, the unit may be mounted at an
easily-accessible location with longer RF cabling to the antenna. Proper lightning or surge
suppression devices and associated grounding are required for all connections.
