Modem Use
The Fusion routers are designed and intended for use in fixed and mobile applications. “Fixed” assumes the device is
physically secured at one location and not easily moved to another location. Please keep the cellular antenna at a safe
distance from your head and body while the modem is in use.
Important
Maintain a distance of at least 20 cm (8 inches) between the transmitter antenna and any person while in use. This
modem is designed for use in applications that observe the 20 cm separation distance.
Interference Issues
Avoid possible radio frequency (RF) interference by following these guidelines:
The use of cellular telephones or devices in aircraft is illegal. Use in aircraft may endanger operation and disrupt the
cellular network. Failure to observe this restriction may result in suspension or denial of cellular services to the
offender, legal action, or both.
Do not operate in the vicinity of gasoline or diesel fuel pumps unless use has been approved or authorized.
Do not operate in locations where medical equipment that the device could interfere with may be in use.
Do not operate in fuel depots, chemical plants, or blasting areas unless use has been approved and authorized.
Use care if operating in the vicinity of protected personal medical devices, i.e., hearing aids and pacemakers.
Operation in the presence of other electronic equipment may cause interference if equipment is incorrectly
protected. Follow recommendations for installation from equipment manufacturers.
Mobile Application Safety
Do not change parameters or perform other maintenance of the Fusion while driving.
Road safety is crucial. Observe National Regulations for cellular telephones and devices in vehicles.
Avoid potential interference with vehicle electronics by correctly installing the Fusion. Leveraging the FCC Modular
approval of the Cellular and WiFi module requires professional installation to avoid antenna correlation.
UL Listed models only
When operating at elevated temperature extremes, the surface may exceed +70 Celsius. For user safety, the
Fusion should be installed in a restricted access location.
WARNING —EXPLOSION HAZARD, do not connect while circuit is live unless area is known to be non-
hazardous.
For more information see APPENDIX C —UL Installation Instructions and Non-Incendive Field Wiring.

1PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Fusion offers a single, flexible platform to address a variety of wireless communications needs with over-the-air
configuration and system monitoring for optimal connectivity. This ready-to-deploy broadband router enables wireless
data connectivity over public and private LTE cellular networks at 4G speeds.
For the ultimate in versatility, the Fusion provides high-speed 4G LTE public safety band 14 broadband connectivity for
private infrastructure as well as 700 MHz Band 13 or 17 and 1700/2100 MHz AWS Band 4 (with 3G EV-DO/HSPA
fallback modes) based on 3GPP Standard E-UTRA Release 8 technologies. Three Ethernet ports support LAN
configurations that provide for the unique requirements of third-party VPN middleware providers.
An optional 802.11 b/g/n WiFi interface access point and client operations supports connectivity to IP applications in a
variety of different connection scenarios. Dual USB 2.0 host interfaces are provided to support Serial IP communication
(using the supported USB to RS-232 Converter cable accessory) and writing event log files to a USB flash drive.
Anticipated future uses include connection of other optional USB peripherals such as ZigBee or Bluetooth adapters.
The Fusion includes an easy to use web-based management and configuration interface, and comprehensive remote
management facilities are available. Cellular/WiFi/Ethernet rule-based and application port-based switching enables IP
control such as segregating traffic specific to designated bearer networks and choosing the WAN fallback order. The
Fusion aggregates WANs, including CalAmp’s narrowband technology, making it a powerful and unique enabler of
interoperable network technologies.
The Fusion includes an IP router that facilitates traffic routing between all of the concurrently operating networks. The
integrated router simplifies installation cabling requirements by requiring only a single cable connection with onboard
computing equipment, and offloading routing processor burdens and setup complexities. The Fusion fully integrates
with CalAmp Gemini narrowband equipment to extend their functionality to include LTE connectivity and access
additional Fusion peripherals.
1.1 MODULE IDENTIFICATION
The module identification label can be found on the bottom of your Fusion device. This label contains the product part
number, the serial number, FCC and IC IDs as well as carrier specific information that will be required when activating
your data account. The following is a sample portrayal of the identification label; identifiers and their placement will
vary depending on model and installed options, and actual bar-coded numbers on each unit will differ.
