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.
- AirSynergy is designed to operate in environmental conditions complying with IP66 and relevant
standards.
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/surge protectors 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 eNodeB.

2 Introduction
This section provides a descriptive overview of the Airspan’s AirSynergy Pico eNodeB and its
place in the product suite.
2.1 AirSynergy
AirSynergy is part of Airspan’s carrier-class 4G Pico eNodeB family. AirSynergy supports 3GPP’s
Long Term Evolution (LTE) eNodeB, providing high-speed data and mobility, in order to meet the
demands of the Broadband Wireless Access market.
AirSynergy is a compact, easy to install pico-cell, allowing an operator to deploy LTE broadband
services using existing Street Furniture (e.g. street lamps, power poles, etc…)
AirSynergy employs Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology, together with two transmit and
receive paths, antennas and a GPS receiver - all in a highly integrated, physically small and light,
All-Outdoor package, targeted to blend seamlessly into the urban environment. This very compact
outdoor product minimizes physical footprint, power consumption and operator OPEX.
AirSynergy supports a wide array of frequencies and channel sizes, able to operate in both
licensed and unlicensed bands with more frequencies and channel sizes added regularly.
AirSynergy implements dual 30dBm (2 x 1W) transmitters, with several optional integral antennas
and external antennas connectivity.
All Airspan eNodeB products, including AirSynergy, are interoperable with a rich portfolio of 3rd
party end user devices, including many handsets, indoor UEs, outdoor UEs and USB dongles
from several ODMs, using various chipsets. For an updated of interoperability list, please contact
your nearest Airspan Sales Representative.
Note: For management please refer to the AirSynergy LTE Commissioning
Manual as well as the Netspan User Manual.
2.1.1 Deployment Description
A highly flexible and scalable 4G Base Station, the AirSynergy is capable of supporting LTE
profiles across multiple frequency bands.
Note: The following is for illustration only; actual layout may differ as
infrastructure is installation-specific.
Note: AirSynergy must be properly grounded according with NEC and other
local safety code requirements.
Note: Installation of the GPS Lightning/Surge protector (ordered separately)
is necessary to protect the GPS antenna. The Lightning/Surge protector must
be properly grounded with NEC and other local safety code requirements.
Note: An External Duplexer is required for some lower frequency (<1GHz)
FDD variants (supplied with AirSynergy, where required).
