Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The Long-Span Tube Housing Kit is a complete indoor/outdoor camera/wireless
radio to wireless radio solution in a weather-proof enclosure. It helps you create a
long-range, wireless Ethernet network with up to 16 subscriber units per access
point. The kit includes (1) indoor/outdoor tube housing with integrated 900-MHz
wireless radio assembly, (1) wireless radio (LS900A) for the other end of the link,
(2) 2.5-dBi omnidirectional antennas,
(2) power supplies, and (1) PoE mid-span
power injector. It works with the Sony IPELA Fixed IP Camera (SNC-CS50), which is
ordered separately. This manual contains instructions for installing the camera. You
can combine it with LS900A or LS900PKA (Integrated Radio and Directional
Antenna).
This user’s manual tells you how to set up your system, and also describes how
each component of the system operates.
When you receive your kit, the radio circuit board, heater/blower, and power
supply are already installed in the tube housing. You will need to install the camera
(ordered separately) yourself—complete instructions appear in Section 4.3 of this
manual.

2.3 About the Technology
The LongSpan 900-MHz Wireless Ethernet System replaces a continuous Ethernet
cable connection to provide wireless data transmission in the unlicensed 900-MHz
frequency spectrum. For example, in a wireless Ethernet network, the end user relies
on a system of unmanned networked radios, computers, servers, and surveillance
cameras to provide data and graphics transmission.
