8.5 Operation in 3450 - 3700 MHz Bands
Operation of the wireless system requires a software 'key' that is available exclusively
from Redline. When required by the regional regulatory statutes where the wireless
system is being deployed, the software key restricts device operation to the FCC 3675-
3700 MHz band, IC 3450-3650 MHz or IC 3650-3675 MHz band. The professional
installer and operator can not modify or otherwise circumvent these operational
restrictions.
The module supports operation with 2x2 MIMO antenna systems with two transmit
chains and two receive chains. The module may be used with any compatible antenna
and using the channel size and output power level specified by the IC regulations.
8.6 Deployment in the United States
8.6.1 Frequency Bands
Operation of the final product requires an FCC specific software 'key' that is available
exclusively from Redline. This key restricts device operation to the FCC 3675-3700 MHz
band. The professional installer and operator can not modify or otherwise circumvent
these operational restrictions.
8.6.2 Antenna Use and Transmit Power
FCC regulation part 90.1321 subpart Z (governing operation in the 3650-3700 MHz band
in the US) states that sector controller transmissions are limited to a maximum transmit
power of 1 Watt/MHz (peak EIRP). If the antenna gain exceeds the allowed maximum
for any Bandwidth/Frequency combination (see following tables), the power setting must
be reduced by the same amount (dB) that the antenna gain exceeds the allowed
maximum.
8.6.3 Certified Antennas
This device 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.
