The ExtendAir (TDD) radios require a clear line-of-sight and proper path clearance to achieve a high-
performance, reliable connection. Perform professional path engineering and site planning before
installing this equipment.
The primary focus of this document is the installation and maintenance of the digital microwave radio,
and assumes that path engineering and site planning has already been performed.
The 50xx family ExtendAir (TDD) radios utilize radio frequencies in the 5250 to 5875 MHz range. In
most countries these frequency bands are considered as ‘license-exempt’ or ‘unlicensed.’ This means
that virtually any user may use these frequencies freely, without paying for access, or any type of pre-
notification, post-notification or registration. As a result of this designation, users may also move or
change these systems at any time, with significant flexibility to the location, orientation and
configuration of the system. However, due also to this designation, there may be uncontrolled
interference from other similar devices that occupy this spectrum. In these cases, it is up to engineering
and maintenance personnel to design the system with existing and future interference sources in mind,
recognizing that there is a chance that the interference conditions could be very dynamic, and outages
