Installation and Operation
USA
FCC Part 90 guidelines for deployment of AN-80i systems in the frequency band of
3.650-3.700 GHz for “restricted” CBP (Contention Based Protocol) in USA includes
restrictions on the maximum EIRP.
To comply with the above guidelines, the following EIRP limitations are applied for
deployment in this band:
i) Max EIRP of 25 Watts/25 MHz (equivalent to 1 Watt/1 MHz)
ii) Peak EIRP Power Density of 1 Watt in any 1 MHz slice of spectrum.
To ensure compliance with these restrictions, see the following important notices:
1. The AN-80i outdoor transceiver and antenna must be professionally installed.
2. The 3.650-3.700 GHz (USA) and 3.450-3.650 GHz (CAN) frequency ranges are
licensed bands and operators must have a valid spectrum license to operate AN-80i
equipment using these bands.
3. The AN-80i requires a Redline FCC-specific options key that is mandatory for
operation within the USA. This options key enforces the FCC approved operating
range of 3.650-3.675 GHz. Do not operate an AN-80i outdoor transceiver until you
have confirmed the FCC-specific options key is loaded and active (operating range
restricted to 3.650-3.675 GHz). When the FCC-specific options key is installed, the
operator is not able to set an RF frequency that exceeds the allowed range of 3.650-
3.675 GHz.
4. The AN-80i transmit power settings must not exceed values stated in the AN-80i
User Manual.
5. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Redline Communications could
void the user‟s authority to operate the equipment.
Canada
IC regulations governing operation in the 3.450-3.650 GHz band are subject to licensing,
pursuant to subsection 4(1) of the Radiocommunication Act.
Power Settings
USA: FCC regulation part 90.1321 (governing operation in the 3.650-3.700 GHz band in
the US) states that base station transmissions are limited to a maximum transmit power
of 1 Watt/MHz (peak EIRP).
Canada: IC regulations governing operation in the 3.450-3.650 GHz band states that
base station transmissions are limited to a m aximum transmit power of 1 Watt/MHz
(peak EIRP).
Recommendations to UNII band Users
Redline, in complete cooperation with the FCC, strongly recommends the operators of
this equipment in the UNII band to deploy following these guidelines:
1. Avoid operation in the TDWR band of 5600-5650 MHz.
2. Review the following table of Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) system
locations.
3. Operate at least 30 MHz away from the TDWR operation frequencies when installing
devices within 22 miles (35 km) or in line-of-sight of a TDWR site.
