1 Introduction
This document describes Radio 2203.
1.1 Warranty Seal
The product is equipped with a warranty seal sticker.
Note: Seals that have been implemented by Ericsson must not be broken or
removed, as it otherwise voids warranty.

2 Product Overview
The radio expands coverage and performance in denser urban areas, where
the use of small handheld devices demand high capacity on the operators
networks. It is designed to be located in cities and in demanding radio
environments.
The radio is part of a modular radio building concept that enables a variety of
installation alternatives that is also easy to expand. Flexible mounting
solutions are provided using rails and pole clamps. The small size of the radio
together with the flexible mounting solutions reduces the site volume. The
lower weight also improves the handling of the radio.
The radio can be connected in a star or cascade configuration using optical
cable links. An optic cable connects the radio to the main unit, or to an
expanded Radio System.

3.1 Installation Recommendations
To ensure reliable operation and maximum performance, an appropriate
installation location must be chosen.
When using the optional integrated directional antenna make sure the radio is
not pointing at any elements that can disturb the radio signals.
Radio Description
10 180/1551-LZA 701 6001/1 Uen AC | 2017-11-08

3.1.1 Indoor Locations to Avoid
Although the unit is designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors. For
indoor locations Ericsson recommends to operate according to ETSI EN 300
19-1-3 class 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.6. This does not cover installation with heat
traps or installation in lofts, where air ventilation does not exist. To ensure
smooth performance, avoid installing the unit in a potential microclimate
location, for example, places with unventilated lofts, with heat traps, or where
the product is exposed to direct sunlight through windows. Avoid installing the
equipment under glass covers or skylight windows without proper ventilation.
3.1.2 Outdoor Locations to Avoid
Although Ericsson declares this product suitable for outdoor environments,
avoid installing the unit in a potential microclimate location. Typical examples
of microclimate locations are sites where the product is not only exposed to
the actual surrounding temperature, but additional temperature as heat
coming from dark colored planes, for example, reflections from the floor or
walls. The additional temperature can generate heat traps with temperatures
up to 10°C higher than expected.
Avoid installing equipment in the following locations:
•Near the exhaust of building ventilation systems
•Near the exhaust of chimneys
•Opposite large surfaces made of glass or new concrete
If the unit is to be placed in an environment subjected to lightning strike, an
external Surge Protection Device (SPD) is needed.
3.1.3 Other Considerations
Installing the radio close to other electronic equipment can cause
interferences.
For sites with risk of ground fire, the recommended minimum installation
height is 3 m.
3.1.4 Painting Limitations
Ericsson does not recommend painting the radio as it may affect radio
performance of the unit.
Ericsson will apply limitations to the warranty and service contract if the radio
is painted.
Technical Data
180/1551-LZA 701 6001/1 Uen AC | 2017-11-08 11

3.1.4.1 Technical Limitations
If the radio is painted, be aware of the technical limitations below:
•Sunlight on dark paint may increase the temperature of the radio causing
it to shut down.
•The plastic surfaces and the plastic covers are suited for painting with
normal, commercially available one- or two-component paints.
•Never use metallic paint or paint containing metallic particles.
•Ensure that ventilation and drainage holes are free from paint.
•Ensure proper adhesion of the paint.
3.1.4.2 Commercial Limitations
If the radio is painted, the commercial limitations below apply:
•Failure modes directly related to overheating due to painting are not valid
for repair within the scope of the warranty or standard service contract.
•Product failures related to paint contamination of components of the unit
are not valid for repair within the scope of warranty or standard service
contract.
•When a painted unit is repaired, it will be restored to the standard color
before being returned to the market. It is not possible to guarantee the
same unit being sent back to the same place. This is also valid for units
repaired under a service contract.
•For repairs within the warranty period or a standard service contract, the
customer will be charged the additional costs for replacing all painted
parts of the unit or the complete unit.
3.2 Space Requirements
The radio can be installed in one of the following ways:
•Single Radio or Dual Radio on a wall (A)
•Single Radio or Dual Radio on a wall (B) using a tilt installation kit
•Single Radio or Dual Radio on a pole (C)
•Single Radio or Dual Radio on a pole (D) using a tilt installation kit
•Rail installation on a wall (E), Single Radio only

•Single Radio or Dual Radio on a ceiling (F), see note below for outdoor
installation
•Single Radio or Dual Radio lying horizontally (G), see note below for
outdoor installation
The installation alternatives described in this section are the primary
installation scenarios for the radio. Flexible installation alternatives are
available for radios installed indoors.
The installation alternatives are shown in Figure 8.
Note: Figure 8 shows a Single Radio, however the installation alternatives
A, B, C, D, F, and G are similar for Dual Radio.

3.2.1 Generic Requirements
The radios can be placed directly against each other side by side. To ensure
sufficient working space, allow adequate free space in front of the radio.
