Hardware Installation
ACRS 2.0 is the second generation Adaptrum cognitive radio system covering spectrum bands
from 400 MHz to 1 GHz. ACRS 2.0 is specifically designed to operate in the UHF TV Band (470 MHz – 698
MHz), as TV Band Devices compliant to the rules specified in CFR 47 Part 15 Subpart H. To be rules
compliant, ACRS 2.0 systems must operate as Fixed TV Band Devices and must be professionally
installed.
ACRS 2.0 radio has a fully enclosed weather-proof aluminum construction as shown in the
following pictures. There are status 4 LEDs on the front and an SMA antenna port and an Ethernet port
on the back. The unit is powered through Ethernet and there is no separate power connector. The last
picture below shows an example pole-mount installation. Both the base and the client stations use the
same radio unit.
