Final Product Requirements
The following requirements apply to all final products incorporating the RDL-3000-RMH.
4.1 Frequency Bands
Operation of the final product requires a software 'key' that is available exclusively from
Redline. This key restricts device operation to the FCC 473 - 611 MHz band on TV
channels 14 - 37. The professional installer and operator can not modify or otherwise
circumvent these operational restrictions.
To operate in the whitespace devices frequency range, each RDL-3000-RMH must
contact and register with the WSDB database server (server URL is programmed into
the RDL-3000-RMH). The RDL-3000 may only transmit on channels indicated as
'available' by the WSDB database. Channel assignments are temporary and the RDL-
3000-RMH must periodically contact the WSDB to refresh the channel list. The RDL-
3000-RMH vacates a channel in-use immediately when a WSDB database status update
indicates the channel is no longer available or the expiry time for an obtained list has
elapsed.
The RDL-3000-RMH operating as a PMP Sector Controller/PTP Master (PMP-SC) is not
allowed to transmit on any channel before registering with the WSDB database and
obtaining a list of available channels for its location. The RDL-3000-RMH operating as a
PMP Subscriber/PTP Slave (PMP-SS) is allowed to transmit on the channel currently
being used by the PMP-SC initially only for the purpose of registering with the WSDB
database and obtaining a list of available channels for its location. If the channel in-use
is not available, the PMP-SS notifies the PMP-SC and stops transmitting. The PMP-SS
may register and obtain the current channel list once per hour.
4.2 Antenna Use and Transmit Power
The RDL-3000-RMH module supports operation with 2x2 MIMO antenna systems with
two transmit chains and two receive chains. The RDL-3000-RMH module must be used
only with certified antennas and using the channel size and output power level specified
by the FCC regulations.
4.3 Certified Antennas
The RDL-3000-RMH module has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in
the following table. Any additional antennas will be used only after authorization is
obtained through Class II permissive change.
