1. Introduction Aervivo AerHub is an outdoor (Multi)Point-to-Multipoint TDD radio in the unlicensed Vband (57-71 GHz) based on WiGig technology, IEEE 802.11ad. It can provide 2 Gbps user traffic in each direction (four directions giving 8 Gbps in total). AerHub comes in two versions, either with an additional LAN port, or with an SFP+ (10Gbps) port. It is powered by proprietary Power over Ethernet (PoE) or 48 VDC.

The radio lobes can be vertically adjusted +/-15 degrees to cover uneven ground and different roof heights. All adjustments, both horizontally and vertically, are done electronically via software running on the Qualcomm baseband and RF chipset. Figure 3: Vertical adjustment of the AerHub Radio Lobe. The AerHub comes in two variants, one with two RJ45 Ethernet connections, and one for one RJ45 and one SFP+ Ethernet connection. Both variants deliver Gigabit connections on both inputs.

Avoid operating this product at a distance less than 11.4 in. (29 cm) from the user. 3. Directions for Use The AerHub is designed for outdoor use in broadband radio mesh setups. This means for example University campuses, local housing areas, etc.
3.1. PRECONDITIONS The preconditions for using a AerHub is that the installation and use in all parts follow what has been stated by the supplier and manufacturer. All other uses must be clarified and approved by the supplier/manufacturer! If not it is regarded as a non-approved installation which will become the sole responsibility of the installer. 3.2. INTENDED USE The AerHub is intended for outdoor use in broadband mesh configurations.
4.3. INSTALLING The AerHub node is installed as follows: 4.3.1. Pole Installation AerHub installer's Tools will direct the installer where the unit can be located on the roof (typically a polygon is defined). The unit will need to report it's correct GPS position back to the IT systems to verify the node is installed at the correct site. (If this is not verified the installer will not be able to complete the installation process.
4.3.3. AerHub Installation Install the Strain Relief with the two MRT M3x8 screws to the bottom side of AerHub in preparation for cable connection. Take the AerHub node together with sleeve gasket and sleeve gasket plug up on the roof to the point of installation. 1. Fit the Strain Relief Gasket and pull cable through. 2. Connect cables in the following order: 1.
4.3.5. Software Installation Before a node can be put into operation at a customer site, a customer record must be created in Aervivo's IT system. The installation process assumes that a customer record and an equipment record exists in Aervivo's IT systems. On site an installer will scan the node (label on the AerHub node) in order to register the node and connect it with the customer site. At the point of scan, the customer record and the equipment are linked to each other.
