1.0 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The VistaMAX OBR5000B is a WiMAX / IEEE 802.16-2004 base station that offers a single box solution for WiMAX
applications in the 5725 to 5875 MHz band. The OBR5000B is designed for outdoor use and is contained in a
weatherproof sealed housing.
The OBR5000B offers a direct bridged 100BaseT Ethernet connection to the base station network. The only equipment
required inside the base station premises is an Ethernet switch with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability, such as
provided by Vecima Networks VPN100014+ or the WES800, to supply power and provide Ethernet connectivity.
Optional Antennas
Vecima recommends the following external antennas to use with the OBR5000B
CAUTION
The installer must ensure that the transmission power output is below the mandated FCC limit. That is,
the transmission power minus the cable loss and antenna gain must result in an equivalent isotropically
radiated power (EIRP) below 4W or 36 dBm. When using Vecima or Vecima recommended antennas, the
transmit power output will be below this limit.
