Important!
• Don’t over-set the range. Setting the range higher does not increase the power of the AP.
• Setting the range higher reduces aggregate throughput.
• All 900 MHz APs in a cluster must be set to the same Max Range.
2.6 Modules and Antennas available
NOTE: FCC and IC Testing is in Progress. The text in this section is
provisional until certification.
Description
900 MHz AP and SM modules are initially available as connectorized units connecting to connectorized
antennas. The following sections describe the module and antenna options.
Connectorized AP or SM
A connectorized 900 MHz AP or SM uses the same housing as a 2.4, 5.2, and 5.7 GHz module and has a 16
inch (approx 40 cm) cable with a male N-type connector for connecting to the antenna. It has a covered
Ethernet port and utility port (for alignment headset, sync cable to CMM2, or override plug), the same as
2.4, 5.2, and 5.7 GHz modules.
Connectorized Subscriber Flat Panel Antenna
Motorola offers an external subscriber antenna, as shown in Figure 3: Subscriber 900 MHz Flat Panel
Antenna. The attributes of this antenna include:
• 10 dBi gain
• 8.8” x 8.1” x 1.6” (22.4 x 20.6 x 4.06 cm)
• 1.2 lbs (0.54 kg)
• vertical or horizontal polarization
• 12 inch (30.5 cm) cable
• female N-type connector
• 3 dB beam width approximately 60° vertical and 60° horizontal

Other Connectorized Flat Panel Antennas
Motorola has certified an additional two antennas that are available through Canopy resellers. Third parties
may also certify additional antennas for use with the Canopy connectorized 900 MHz module.
