device-based conditions to limit the use of devices such as maximum gain antennas or other antenna
types, and maximum output power. Also in some cases, there may be application limits, limited
geography of use, or other unique regulations.
The link design engineer and/or professional installer must determine what limitations exist and
engineer and install the system within the confines of all local regulations. It is required that you
examine all regulations that may apply to peripheral equipment, installation and cabling of the system
as regulated for human safety, electrical code, air-traffic control, and all safety-related categories.
In certain countries, the spectrum for these products is not considered license-exempt. There may be
additional regulatory requirements concerning location, frequency, power, orientation, configuration,
and other aspects of the system, including link registration requirements, coordination, and system
usage fees. Consult your local regulatory organization(s) to determine usage requirements.
The EX-5/6i and EX-6i models utilize radio frequencies in the range of 5925 to 6425 and 6525 to
6875MHz. The EX-11i models utilize radio frequencies in the range of 10700 to 11700 MHz. In most
countries these frequency bands are considered as licensed. This means that some form of frequency
coordination and/or licensing/registration is necessary for the legal use of the product. There may be
limitations on classifications/types/sizes of antennas, effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP),
specific frequency pairs, antenna polarization, and other aspects of the link.
Also, it is required that any regulations that may apply to peripheral equipment, installation, and
cabling of the system that may be regulated for human safety, electrical code, air-traffic control, and
other safety-related categories be examined and complied with.
In almost all cases, the product itself must be authorized for use in your country. Either Exalt or Exalt’s
agent must have applied for certification or authorization to allow the sale and deployment of the
system within the country. It is also possible that only certain versions or configurations of the device
are allowed within a particular country. Please contact Exalt or your authorized Exalt representative
for information pertaining to your country.
In most cases, there are regulations, or device-based conditions that limit the use of the device, such as
minimum or maximum gain antenna, antenna polarization, and maximum output power, as well as, in
some cases, application limits, limited geography of use, and other unique regulations. The link
design engineer and/or professional installer must determine these limitations and engineer/
install the system within the confines of all local regulations. Also, it is required to examine any
regulations that may apply to peripheral equipment, installation and cabling of the system that may be
regulated for human safety, electrical code, air-traffic control, and other safety-related categories. In
some cases, a need for link registration, coordination, and fees that may apply to the system usage.
Please consult your local regulatory organization(s) to determine usage requirements.
Basic Features
The EX-i Series GigE (FDD) Digital Microwave Radios are single integrated units intended for all-
indoor or enclosure-based mounting. The associated antenna is typically mounted on a tower or
rooftop mast structure with RF cabling running from the antenna location, with an egress through the
structure or enclosure, with proper lightning suppression and grounding, to the RF connector of the
Note: The link design engineer and/or professional installer must determine the legal
requirements and limitations and engineer/install the system within the confines of all local
regulations.
Note: It is the professional installer’s responsibility to ensure that the radio system is
implemented in a legal fashion. Exalt is not liable for any unsafe or illegal installations.
