Warnings and Cautions
Human Exposure to Radio Frequencies
The Air4Gp should be installed and operated from a minimum distance of 2 meters from your
body.
Radio Interference
This Air4Gp generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the technician is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by performing one or more of the following measures:
Re-orientate or relocate the antenna
Increase separation between the equipment and receiver
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the power
source is connected
Avoiding Radio Interference
Ensure a minimum of 1-meter separation between co-located antennas of Air4Gp units.
Modifications
Any changes and modifications to this device that are not expressly approved by Airspan
Networks may void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

of this device, as this will void the warranty.
Disconnect the power to this product and return it for service if the following conditions apply:
a. The terminal does not function after following the operating instructions outlined
in this manual.
b. Liquid has been spilled, a foreign object is inside, or the terminal has been
exposed to rain.
c. The product has been dropped or the housing is damaged.
Locate the serial number of the terminal, antenna, and transceiver and record these on your
registration card for future reference. Use the space below to affix serial number stickers.
Also record the MAC address, located on the back of the terminal.
UL Information
- The equipment must be properly grounded according with NEC and other local safety code
requirements.
- Reminder to all the BWA system installers: Attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall
be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is
practical.

Lightning Protection
WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system. The wireless
equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer and must follow local and
national codes for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use
of non-standard practices and procedures could result in personal injury and damage to
equipment. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage even if these guidelines are
followed.
All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or induced
current from a near strike. Lightning protection and grounding practices in local and national
electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service outages, and serious injury.
Reasons for lightning damage are summarized as:
- Poorly grounded tower/antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into
equipment.
- Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment that can cause equipment failures from
lightning induced currents.
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth without
passing through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning protection system does not
prevent lightning from striking; it provides a means for controlling it and preventing damage by
providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely to ground. Improperly
grounded connections are also a source of noise that can cause sensitive equipment to
malfunction.
A good tower grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a tower strike away
from the building and equipment.
To limit the equipment damage due to a lightning strike, the following practices are recommended
for the wireless system:
- Provide direct grounding from the antenna mounting bracket, the radio and antenna and the
lightning arrestors to the same ground point at the base of the tower or a ground bus on the
building. Use the grounding screws on the antenna bracket and the radio and antenna for
terminating the ground wires.
- The AC wall outlet ground must be connected to the same grounding system as the BS.

2 Introduction
This section provides a descriptive overview of the Air4Gp and its place in the product suite.
2.1 Air4Gp
Air4Gp is a dual protocol compact Base Station: WiMAX (IEEE802.16e) Base Station and
simultaneously an LTE eNodeB. The Air4Gp is a Pico base station operating on unlicensed
frequency bands and can support up to 4 carriers that can be deployed to cover a single sector or
two distinct sectors. It can run either WiMAX or LTE or both WiMAX and LTE. It includes
integrated quad transmitters to support four channel diversity and MIMO with an optional
integrated dual slant antenna. It is a highly integrated compact base station with all-in-one
packaging of RF and base-band components. It is available mounted outside on a pole or wall.
Air4Gp is available in frequencies between 150 MHz and 6 GHz and in numerous channels .
Air4Gp currently operates in the 5.x frequency band and was designed to overcome harsh
interference conditions due to its 4x4 MIMO capability. The Tx power of the Air4Gp is limited to
22dBm, or 27dBm (depending on the variant), to meet unlicensed band regulations. Air4Gp can
run WiMAX, LTE or WiMAX and LTE simultaneously.
Air4Gp is managed by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using standard
and proprietary MIBs. Basic management can be performed using any standard Web browser.
Note: The channel bandwidth describes the maximum bandwidth. Partial
bands can also be utilized.
Note: For management refer to Air4Gp Commissioning documentation.
2.1.1 Architecture
A highly flexible and scalable WiMAX Base Station, the Air4Gp is capable of supporting WiMAX
profiles across multiple frequency bands.
Note: The following is for illustration only; actual layout may differ as
infrastructure is installation-specific.
Note: Air4Gp must be properly grounded according with NEC and other local
