Regulatory Compliance
General Note
This system has achieved Type Approval in various countries around the world. This means
that the system has been tested against various local technical regulations and found to
comply. The frequency bands in which the system operates may be “unlicensed” and in these
bands, the system can be used provided it does not cause interference.
FCC - Compliance
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment 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 or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Indoor Units comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) These devices may not cause harmful interference.
(2) These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

Warning
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor
antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those
antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other
than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance to
FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204.
Caution
Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced
installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety
codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate
government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the product
warranty and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and
financial liabilities. Resellers or distributors of this equipment are not liable
for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation
of outdoor units or antennas.
1HW6WUHDP[8VHU0DQXDO9ersion 2.1 iv
Any changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
RF Radiation Exposure statement.
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits. This equipment should be
installed and operated with a minimum distance of 281.8 cm between the radiator and your
body for 5 GHz operations.

Private Networks
1HW6WUHDPis the ultimate solution for private networks such as enter-
prises, education, government and utility organizations that wish to own
and manage their own networks and eliminate the costly recurring charges
from service providers.
1HW6WUHDPcost-effective solution enables a variety of organizations to

Figure 1-3: Private Network
.H\)HDWXUHVRI1HW6WUHDPSome of the outstanding features of thH1HW6WUHDPradio series are as
follows:
• High Capacity
7KH1HW6WUHDPsystem provides a high-capacity link of 50Mbps
net throughput in full duplex.
• Superior Spectral Efficiency
Built on advanced MIMO and OFDM technologies, the1HW6WUHDPsystem provides a high-capacity link at channel bandwidth of
20MHz. This channel bandwidth supports high robustness of the air
interface under interference and harsh conditions. In countries
where applicable, narrow channel bandwidth reduces the cost of the
spectrum license.
• Combo Frequency Products
Every1HWURQLFVCombo Frequency radio supports multiple fre-
quency bands. For example the 1HW6WUHDP[radios support the four
bands: 5.725 - 5.850 GHz, 5.150 - 5.350 GHz, 5.470 - 5.725 GHz
and 4.940 - 4.990 GHz. The 1HWURQLFVCombo Frequency prod-
ucts support the regulations of FCC, IC Canada, WPC India and MII
China.
• Advanced Air Interface
7KH1HWURQLFVsystem provides an advanced air-interface based
on MIMO, built-in diversity and OFDM technologies, resulting in an
exceptionally robust air interface.
Using the following technologies, the 1HWURQLFVair interface is
designed to ensure nonstop, high quality transmission, even under
interference and harsh conditions:
• Automatic Adaptive Rate (AAR) is a mechanism that dynami-
cally adapts the air interface rate by changing both the signal
modulation and coding.
.H\)HDWXUHVRI1HW6WUHDPChapter 1
1HW6WUHDP[8VHU0Dnual Version 2.1 1-4
• Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) chooses the best channel by
monitoring the available radio channels and dynamically select-
ing a channel which is best suited for transmission at any given
time.
• Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) is a mechanism for error con-
trol during data transmission. When the receiver detects an
error in the received information, it automatically requests the
transmitter to resend the information. This process is repeated
until the transmission is error free or the error continues
beyond a predetermined number of maximum transmissions.
Wireless Link's ARQ mechanism is optimized for time-critical
traffic.
• Forward Error Correction (FEC) with very low overhead and
algorithms specifically designed for the varying conditions of
license-exempt frequency bands, ensuring fast, robust and
error-free communications.
• High transmission (Tx) power of 25dBm
7KH1HW6WUHDPsystem supports high Tx power, compliant with
radio regulations. High Tx power increases the system's availability
and range, and enables the high performance with smaller anten-
nas, thus reducing the total cost of the solution (lower CAPEX),
installation and tower rent costs (lower OPEX).
• Superior range performance
7KH1HW6WUHDPsystem supports high capacity at superior ranges.
The Link Budget Calculator (appendix D) is used to determine the
capacity and range according to the choice of product, antenna,
type of service and environmental conditions.
• Simple installation and management
1HW6WUHDPsystems are extremely simple to install and maintain.
They are typically up and running in less than an hour.
The Link Manager application has full local and remote management
capabilities. The user-friendly SNMP based management tool pro-
vides full end-to-end configuration, event logging, and performance
monitoring capabilities.
• Enhanced Security
The security features RI1HW6WUHDPinclude:
1HW6WUHDP[AES 128-bit integrated advanced encryption
support provides enhanced air interface security for carriers and
private networks. It ensures user data protection with one of
the most sophisticated commercially available combined
encryption and authentication techniques, CCM/AES. This tech-
nique combines message authentication (preventing anti-spoof-
ing and replay protection) with commercial encryption, and
complies with the IEEE 802.11i (phase iii) security recommen-
dations.
CCM/AES uses a symmetric 128-bit encryption key (EK), and a
nonce, and provides both message encryption and authenticat-
1HW6WUHDPLink Chapter 1
1HW6WUHDP[8VHU0Dnual Version 2.1 1-5
ing signature. The nonce mechanism enables the receiver to
remember already received genuine messages and reject all
replayed messages.
• Initial encryption and authentication is based on a user-defined
master key (Link Password). While standard Wireless LAN
encrypts only the Ethernet Payload, the AES encrypts both the
source and destination MAC addresses.
• In addition to normal login access, Read or Write Community
access is available at login
1HW6WUHDPLink
7KH1HW6WUHDPpoint-to-point solution is a wireless communication link.
Typically each side of the link is comprised of an Outdoor Unit (ODU) and
antenna and an Indoor Unit (IDU) or PoE device as shown in figure 1-4
below.
The link is managed by the SNMP-based Link Manager application.
The IDU and the ODU are connected by a CAT5e cable that carries the ser-
vice traffic and power.
