External Antennas

This chapter describes the procedures for connecting third-party external radio and

Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas to the BSR and BSDU respectively. The

implementation of these antennas depends on the BSR model (with respect to radio

antennas) and the need for synchronization of the ASWipLL system (with respect to

GPS antennas).

10.1. Connecting Radio Antennas to BSR

The BSR model without a built-in radio antenna provides an N-type port(s) for

connecting a third-party external antenna(s). The BSR models for the 900 MHz and

700 MHz bands provide two N-type connectors for connecting two third-party

external antennas. Two antennas provide dual-antenna diversity, whereby data is

transmitted using only the main antenna, while data is received by the antenna (main

or secondary) with the best radio frequency (RF) reception.

Warning: It is the responsibility of the person installing the ASWipLL system

to ensure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (o

where FCC rules apply), that only those antennas certified with the product are

used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is

expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The

installer should configure the output power level of antennas according to

country regulations and per antenna type.
