USA and Canada specific information
The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has asked manufacturers to
implement special features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate
in the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz
.
These features must be implemented in all products
able to operate outdoors in the band 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz.
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
PTP 250 for operation in the USA or Canada. These variants are only allowed to operate
in accordance with FCC/IC rules. In particular, operation of radio channels overlapping the
band 5600-5650 MHz is not allowed and these channels are permanently barred.
In addition, other channels may also need to be barred when operating close to weather
radar installations.
To ensure compliance with FCC rules (KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII
Devices Operating in the 5470 - 5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS
Capabilities), follow the instructions in
Avoidance of weather radars (USA only)
on page
2-5
.
Other variants of the PTP 250 are available for use in the rest of the world, but these
variants are not supplied to the USA or Canada except under strict controls, when they
are needed for export and deployment outside the USA or Canada.
Specific expertise and training required for professional installers
To ensure that the PTP 250 is installed and configured in compliance with the
requirements of Industry Canada and the FCC, installers must have the radio engineering
skills and training described in this section. This is particularly important when installing
and configuring a PTP 250 system for operation in the 5.4 GHz UNII band.
Avoidance of weather radars
The installer must be familiar with the requirements in FCC KDB 443999. Essentially, the
installer must be able to:
x
Access the FCC data base of weather radar location and channel frequencies.
x
Use this information to correctly configure the product (using the GUI) to avoid
operation on channels that should be barred according to the guidelines that are
contained in the KDB and explained in detail in this user guide.
