For the EX-4.9i models, the transmit power must be reduced from maximum (+24dBm
for 20MHz BW, +22dBm for 10MHz) by 1 dB for every 1dB that the antenna gain
exceeds 26dBi (including transmission system losses).
The professional installer is responsible to ensure that RF output power is properly
adjusted so that it does not exceed the regulatory limit of these conditions.
EX-5i FCC (USA) EIRP
For the EX-5i models, within the 5725–5850 MHz band, the maximum EIRP allowed is
61.9dBm. The maximum output power of the radio shall never exceed +24dBm.
For the EX-5i models, within the 5250–5350 MHz band, the maximum transmit power
with respect to FCC (USA) EIRP regulations is determined using the following equation:
P = 30 – G + L
where:
P = Maximum transmitter output power of radio, in dBm
G = Specified gain of antenna, in dBi, from 5250 to 5350 MHz
L = Total transmission system losses of all elements between the
radio’s RF connector and the antenna’s RF connector (all
cables, connectors, lightning suppressors), in dB, as specified or
measured between 5250 and 5350 MHz
For the 5250–5350 MHz band, the maximum EIRP allowed for this device is 30dBm.
The maximum output power of the radio shall never exceed +13dBm.
The professional installer is responsible to ensure that RF output power is properly
adjusted so that it does not exceed the regulatory limit of these conditions.
Canada Compliance
The EX-2.4i and EX-5i models operate under RSS-210 of Industry Canada regulations.
The EX-4.9i model operates under RSS-111 of Industry Canada regulations. Operation is
subject to the following conditions, unless express permission is granted by Industry
Canada to operate in a different manner:
• External amplifiers cannot be used to boost the power or to overcome transmission
system losses, unless the specific amplifier/cable/antenna combination is expressly
authorized by Industry Canada.
• Cross-border transmissions are expressly prohibited, except with written permission
from both Industry Canada and the governing body of the neighboring country (FCC
for USA)
• Only parabolic dish antennas or directional flat-panel antennas may be used. No other
types of antennas (omni-directional, yagi, and so on) are authorized. Parabolic dishes
