The EX-4.5r GigE and EX-4.5r-c GigE operate in the 4400 to 4900 MHz band, which is generally
reserved for Government operators, such as NATO. In most cases, this band is considered licensed and
restricted to certain users.
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.
Basic Features
The EX-r Series GigE Digital Microwave Radios are intended for all-outdoor mounting and come with
an indoor-mounted power injector. In some cases, the radio can 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 can 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.
Note: 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.
