This AirVelocity 1500 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, 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 unit

1 Introduction
This section provides a descriptive overview of the Airspan’s AirVelocity 1500 Enterprise-Pico
eNodeB and its place in the product suite.
1.1AirVelocity 1500
AirVelocity 1500 is part of Airspan’s carrier-class 4G Pico eNodeB family. AirVelocity 1500 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.
AirVelocity 1500 is a super-compact, easy to install indoor pico-cell, allowing an operator to deploy
LTE broadband services in Public Venues, as well as Enterprise Offices, supporting both wall and
ceiling mounting.
AirVelocity 1500 is a high performance indoor pico eNB supporting a single sector non-contiguous
dual carrier solution that can support up to a total of 40MHz bandwidth.
AirVelocity 1500 employs Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology, together with two transmit
paths, two receive paths, antennas and clock synchronization –all in a highly integrated, physically
small and light, targeted to blend seamlessly into the environment. This super compact pico product
minimizes physical footprint, power consumption and operator OPEX.
AirVelocity 1500 LTE radio implements a quad 25 dBm (4 x 315mW) transmit channels, with an
integral antenna.
Note: For management please refer to the Airspan LTE Commissioning Manual as well as the
Netspan User Manual.
Note: The AirVelocity 1500 requires operation using an Airspan FCC-specific version of Netspan
acting as a CBRS Domain Proxy.
