2 SitePlanning
2.1 General
Beforethestartofanyinstallation,asurveyoftheplanneddeploymentsiteshouldbeconducted
first.Thesurveyingpersonnelshouldbefullyfamiliarwiththedetailsandrequirementsneededto
successfullyinstallthe80GHzradiosystem.
2.2 EquipmentChecklist
Wesuggestthesitesurveyteammayneedthefollowingequipment:
· Binoculars(notalwaysrequired)
· WAAScapableGPSlocationdevice
· Tapemeasuretodeterminedistancesforcablerunstoingresspoints
· Digitalcamera(notalwaysrequired)
· Sitesurveyreportformtodocumentandhelpassesssite
· Signalingmirror(providedbutnotalwaysrequired)
· 7090GHzLinkRegistrationDatasheet.ContactBridgeWaveTechSupporttolearnwhere
onecanobtainthelatestversionofthisform.YoumayEmail [e-mail]for
thisrequestorrequestitonlineviaeServiceCenterhttp://bridgewave.com/support.
2.3 LineofSight(LOS)
The80GHzWirelessGigabitEthernetlinkrequiresLOSforproperoperation.Binocularsand
spottingmirrorsmaybeusedtoassistintheconfirmationofLOS.
PathplanningshouldincludeaninvestigationintofuturebuildingplansthatcouldblocktheLOS
path,andotherlongtermincrementalobstructionssuchastreegrowth.Intermittentobstructions
suchasaircraftatanearbyairportshouldalsobeconsidered.

Measurementofthelinkdistanceisimportantin estimatingthelinkavailabilityandcalculating
expectedReceiveSignalLevel(RSL).ThismeasurementcanbeperformedusingtheLatitudeand
LongitudecoordinatereadingsfromaGlobalPositioningSystem(GPS)device,whichisplacednear
theproposedlocationsoftheantennas.AdditionallyGPSreadingwillberequiredinordertocomply
withtheFCCregistrationprocess.
TheMinimum80GHzLinkdistancesareasfollows:
· AR/GE/FE80:328feet(100meters)
· AR/GE/FE80X:1312feet(400meters)
Toestimatemaximumdistancesandavailabilitiesforagivenproductandregion,BridgeWave’s
PathAvailabilitycalculatorcanbeused.ToobtainthelatestversionofBridgeWave’sPath

2.5 AntennaLocation
Theoptimumlocationfortheantennasmustbedetermined.Theideallocationshouldprovidefor
easeoferectingandmountingtheantenna,aswellasprovidingunimpededLOStotheremote
location.Thefollowingfactorsshouldbetakenintoaccount:
· Typeofmounting—fixedorroofsafepolemounting.
· LocationoffiberandDCpowerwiringingress/egressofthebuilding.
· Lengthofcableruns.
· ConfirmedEarthGroundingconnectionpoints.
· Obstructions,includingallowancesfortreegrowth.
· Accessibilityoftheradiomountinglocation.
· Accessibilityofthesiteduringandafterworkinghours.

2.7 Grounding&Lightning
Propergroundingoftheoutdoorequipmentreduces
electromagneticinterference,provideslightningprotection,and
protectsagainstelectricaldischarge.
Usingimpropertechniquesinlightningpronegeographicareas
mayposeadangertolocalpersonnel.
Thesourceandconnectionpointsforthebuildingtoearthground
inthevicinityoftheantennalocationshouldbedetermined.
Inadditiontogroundingtheequipment, BridgeWavestronglyrecommends,andlocalbuilding
codesmayrequire,theDCelectricalcabletobeprotectedfromelectricalsurgesbyasurge
suppressor.Thesurgesuppressormustbeinstalledat thepointwheretheDCelectricalcables

1.Readtheseinstructionsbeforebeginninginstallation.Caution
shouldbeused.Qualifiedpersonsexperiencedwithantenna
assemblyandinstallationarerequiredforinstallation.
2. BridgeWaveCommunicationsInc.disclaimsanyresponsibility
orliabilityfordamageorinjuryresultingfromincorrectorunsafe
installationpractices.
3.Theantennahasbeenformedtoaveryclosetolerance
parabolicshape.Carefulhandlingandassemblyisrequiredto
avoiddentingthereflector,whichwoulddegradeantenna
performance.
Whenusingtheleftsideradiomountposition,theantennaendsup
gettingrotatedby180degrees.Thedrainholemustbeopenat
thebottomandclosedoffatthetopoftheantennatoprevent
wateringress.

3.6 AntennaandRadioInstallation
It is critically important during installation to ensure the
radios on each side of the link are in the same polarization
(horizontalhorizontal or verticalvertical). A link that has a
radioononesideofthelinksetinthehorizontalpolarization
and the other side of the link set in the vertical polarization
willnotoperateproperly.
Itisalsocriticallyimportantthatahighbandradioispairedwith
alowbandradiotoensurethesystemwilloperateproperly.Prior
toinstallationcheckeachradiotoverifyoneisahighbandand
theotherisalowbandversion.Thelabelontheradiowill
indicatetheband(blueforhighorredforlow).

2. Verifythatthefour(4)captive3/816boltswith

Itisimportantthatallfourboltsaretightened
evenly(handtight,1to2turnseachuntilthe

(Note:Antennanotshownforclarity)
Itisveryimportantthattheazimuthboltsaretightenedbeforeanyelevation
adjustmentisattempted.Theverynarrowbeamwidthoftheseantennas(0.4º and0.9º)makesit
necessarytocompletelytightentheboltsoftheazimuthadjustmentwhileadjustingtheelevation
