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 of either grid or solid
type are allowed. Maximum gain of each type of antenna allowed 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: 26 dBi (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)

This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1 this device may not cause interference, and
2 this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Antennas Supported in Canada
The EX-2.4i is designed to operate with the antennas listed in Table 10, which have a maximum gain
of 30.3 dBi. Antennas not included in the list or having a gain greater than 30.3 dBi are prohibited for
use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 Ohms.
The antenna associated with the EX-2.4i family shall be mounted in a location that is at least 10 feet
away from humans that may be subject to long-term or continuous exposure.
The EX-5i family has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in Table 11
, which have a
maximum gain of 37.9 dBi. Antennas not included in the list or having a gain greater than 37.9 dBi are
prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 Ohms.
The antenna associated with the EX-5i family shall be mounted in a location that is at least 10’/3m
away from humans that may be subject to long-term or continuous exposure.
Important: Where required by regional regulations, DFS is enabled by the system keys and cannot be
disabled.
