The antenna associated with EX-2.4i family shall be mounted in a location that is at least
10 feet away from humans that may be subject to long-term or continuous exposure. The
antenna associated with the EX-5i family shall be mounted in a location that is at least
10’/3m away from humans that may be subject to long-term or continuous exposure.

United States Compliance
The EX-2.4i and EX-5i product families operate under FCC Rule Parts 15.247 and/or
15.407 as a license-exempt device. The EX-4.9i products operate under FCC Rule Part 90
as a licensed device. All of these devices must be professionally installed. They may only
be used as a point-to-point transmission device for fixed or temporary-fixed (non-mobile)
installations. The devices are subject to the following restrictions:
• Do not use external amplifiers to boost the power or overcome transmission system
losses, unless the specific amplifier/cable/antenna combination has expressly been
authorized by the FCC. The output power must never exceed +30 dBm.
• Cross-border transmissions are expressly prohibited, except with written permission
from both the FCC and the governing body of the neighboring country (Cofetel for
Mexico; Industry Canada for Canada).
• Use only parabolic dish antennas or directional flat-panel antennas. No other types of
antennas (omni-directional, yagi, and so on) are authorized. Parabolic dishes of either
grid or solid type are allowed. Maximum mid-band gain of each type of antenna
certified is:
¶ EX-2.4i models:
– Parabolic dish: 30.3 dBi (6'/1.8m diameter)
– Directional flat panel: 20.5 dBi (~2'/61cm square)
¶ EX-4.9i models:
– Parabolic dish: 26dBi (larger gains are allowed, with Tx power reduction)
– Directional flat panel: 26 dBi (larger gains are allowed, with Tx power
reduction)
¶ EX-5i models:
– Parabolic dish: 37.9 dBi (6'/1.8m diameter)
