Figure 1-1: The EX-5r (Integrated Antenna Version)
The EX-5r utilizes radio frequencies in the range of 5250 to 5850MHz, in one or both of the
following bands:
• 5350 to 5350 MHz
• 5725 to 5850 MHz
In many countries, one or both of these frequency bands are considered as ‘license-exempt’ or
‘unlicensed.’ This means that virtually any user may use these frequencies freely, without paying
for access, or any type of pre-notification, post-notification or registration. As a result of this
designation, users may also move or change these systems at any time, with significant flexibility
to the location, orientation and configuration of the system. However, due also to this
designation, there may be uncontrolled interference from other similar devices that occupy this
spectrum. In these cases, it is up to engineering and maintenance personnel to design the system
with existing and future interference sources in mind, recognizing that there is a chance that the
interference conditions could be very dynamic, and outages may occur on the system as a result,
and that, in some very rare cases, the system may cause interference into another system and may
be required to be disengaged or modified/re-oriented to eliminate the interference.
If the spectrum in your country is designated as ‘license-exempt’ or similar, this does not infer
that the installer may configure the system in any manner, at any location. In most cases, there
are regulations, or device-based conditions that limit the use of the device, such as maximum
gain antenna, antenna types and maximum output power, as well as, in some cases, application
limits, limited geography of use, and other unique regulations. The link design engineer and/or
professional installer must determine these limitations and engineer/install the system
within the confines of all local regulations. Also, it is required to examine any regulations that
may apply to peripheral equipment, installation and cabling of the system, which may be
regulated for human safety, electrical code, air-traffic control, and other safety-related categories.
In certain countries, the spectrum for this product is NOT considered to be license-exempt. In
these cases, there may be additional regulatory requirements concerning the location, frequency,
power, orientation, configuration and other aspects of the system, including, in some cases, a
need for link registration, coordination and fees that may apply to the system usage. Please
consult your local regulatory organization(s) to determine the usage requirements.
