Regulatory Notices
This section presents the Regulatory Compliance Regulations for your country.
4.9GHz Model
The EX-4.9i is a licensed-band product operating within Part 90 of the FCC regulations and RSS-111
of Industry Canada. These bands are specifically reserved for Public Safety applications and related
agencies, in accordance with these regulations.
Transmitter power reduction may be required, depending on transmission system gains and losses, in
accordance with instructions found in this appendix.
The transmitter power of the device must be reduced by 1 dB for every 1 dB that the antenna gain
exceeds 26 dBi (inclusive of transmission system losses).
United States Compliance
The EX-2.4i and EX-5i product families operate under FCC Rule Parts 15.247 and/or 15.407 as a
license-exempt device. The EX-4.9i products operate under FCC Rule Part 90 as a licensed device.
They may only be used as a point-to-point transmission device for fixed or temporary-fixed (non-
mobile) installations. The devices are subject to the following restrictions:
Do not use external amplifiers to boost the power or overcome transmission system losses, unless
the specific amplifier/cable/antenna combination has expressly been authorized by the FCC. The
output power must never exceed +30 dBm.
Cross-border transmissions are expressly prohibited, except with written permission from both the
FCC and the governing body of the neighboring country (Cofetel for Mexico; Industry Canada for
Canada).
Use only parabolic dish antennas or directional flat-panel antennas. No other types of antennas
(omni-directional, yagi, and so on) are authorized. Parabolic dishes of either grid or solid type are
allowed. Maximum mid-band gain of each type of antenna certified is:
EX-2.4i models:
Parabolic dish: 30.3 dBi (6'/1.8m diameter)
Directional flat panel: 20.5 dBi (~2'/61cm square)
EX-4.9i models:
Parabolic dish: 26dBi (larger gains are allowed, with Tx power reduction)
Directional flat panel: 26 dBi (larger gains are allowed, with Tx power reduction)
–EX-5i models:
Parabolic dish: 37.9 dBi (6'/1.8m diameter)
Directional flat panel: 28 dBi (~2'/61cm square)
