See the 9500 MPR-A Equipping Options drawing, found in 9500 MPR-A Electronic
Documentation for unlicensed radio configurations and equipping options.
The MPT-HL/HLC and 9558HC unlicensed radio operate in the 5725-5850
Information, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band in accordance with FCC Part 15.247
and IC RSS-210. This unlicensed radio, although operating in the same band as a
spread spectrum radio, operates using narrower bandwidths than spread spectrum.
Advantages, disadvantages, and antenna recommendations for the unlicensed radio
follow:
Advantages:
• Fast installation and Turn-Up
• Between 6.6 — 185 Mb/s user configurable data payload capacity consisting
of a combination of E1/DS1, DS3, STM-1/OC-3, and/or Ethernet traffic
• Field convertible to lower 6 GHz licensed band (MPT-HL/HLC)
• Field expandable to higher capacities.
• Common network management with licensed radios.
• Common spares and training with licensed radios
• Adaptive Modulation - automatic interference countermeasures
Disadvantages:
• Interference from other 5725-5850 ISM band transmissions are possible
• Operating restrictions
• 5.725 to 5.850 GHz band
• Performance could deteriorate due to interference as the frequency band
becomes congested.
Antenna Recommendations:
• Frequency – 5.8 GHz
