The EX-i Series GigE (FDD) models require a clear line-of-sight and proper path clearance to achieve
a high-performance, reliable connection. Perform professional path engineering and site planning
before installing this equipment.
The primary focus of this document is the installation and maintenance of the digital microwave radio,
and assumes that path engineering and site planning were already performed.
The EX-5i and EX-5/6i models utilize radio frequencies in the range of 5725 to 5850 MHz. In most
countries these frequency bands are considered ‘license-exempt’ or ‘unlicensed.’ This means that any
user may use these frequencies without paying for access or providing prenotification, post-
notification or registration. As a result of this designation, users can move or change these systems at
any time with significant flexibility to location, orientation, and system configuration. However, also
due to this designation there may be uncontrolled interference from other similar devices occupying
this spectrum. For these cases, it is up to engineering and maintenance personnel to design the system
with consideration of existing and future interference sources, recognizing the chance that interference
conditions can be very dynamic and outages may occur on the system as a result—in some very rare
cases the system may cause interference to another system and may be required to be disengaged or
modified/reoriented to eliminate interference.
If this spectrum is designated license-exempt or similar in your country, it does not infer that the
installer can configure the system in any manner at any location. Most often there are regulations or
