SITE REQUIREMENTS:

• General. Each subscriber site must meet the following criteria:

• Located within the Basestation coverage area (this can be determined by the network manager using the

Network Propagation Tool).

• Has a suitable location for antenna mounting (usually a rooftop or tower, at a minimum of height of 3

meters ) with Line of Sight (LOS) to the base station.

• Provides a suitable location for the IDU for connection to the customer LAN, with standard power outlet

(95-250VAC, 47 - 63 Hz) available.

• Initial Site Check. The Clearwire network manager performs the initial site check using the Network Propagation

Tool. If the subscriber site is within the coverage area, the network manager provides the following information to

the installer:

• Bearing and range from subscriber site to base station.

• Probable antenna type.

RF EXPOSURE FOR ACCESSIBLE ANTENNA

WARNING: For compliance with the RF exposure requirements regulated by the FCC (Federal
