WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 5.8 The following figure depicts a general description of a typical sector in the GigAccess™ OFDM system. WAN SU SU AU Switch/Router Base Controller (Option) SU AU SU Figure 1-2: Typical sector in GigAccess™ OFDM System The sector uses a single radio channel frequency with a 20 MHz bandwidth, which carries up to 36 Mbps data throughput. The system is a frame-based system, meaning the time dimension is divided into small periods called frames.
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 5.8 GigAccess™ OFDM MAC layer is based on IEEE 802.16 MAC standard with additional proprietary attributes, which allow for special features such as Consecutive AP™. GigAccess™ OFDM network layer enables routing and QoS queuing of traffic based on classification of packets using information in layers 2, 3 & 4-7. In certain instances, QoS queuing can be done using packet information (priority defined by the management).

WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 5.8 2.3 Installation Overview This section provides installation information for GigAccess™ OFDM 5.8 GHz system. This device can be expected to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules provided it is assembled in accordance with the instructions provided in this document.
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 5.8 WARNING: It is the responsibility of the installer to insure that when using the outdoor antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules part 15.247.
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 5.8 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 2.4.1.
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 5.8 2.4.2 Mounting and Wiring Outdoor Unit mounting and installation will be performed only by personal licensed to install rooftop antenna equipment where such license required by the regulation authorities. On any installation case, only professional antenna installers will perform Outdoor Unit mounting and installation. Outdoor Unit can be mount on a pole or on a wall.
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 5.8 2.4.3 Antennas 2.4.3.1 General Two types of antennas are available for the GigAccess™ system: • Integrated antenna • Detached antenna The necessary antenna gain depends on the required range and performance. IMPORTANT! Antennas must be selected from a list of WaveIP approved antennas. Please refer to Appendix A – WaveIP Approved Antennas. According to FCC part 15.
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 5.8 selected link type (point-to-multi-point/point-to-point). The installer, if needed, can select a lower power. For example: if the selected antenna gain is 24 dBi, the regulation is FCC and the link type is point-to-multi-point, the tool will set the maximum transmitted power (before the antenna) to +12 dBm (so that EIRP will not exceed +36 dBm). The Unit Manager Tool supports two levels of privilege password: regular administrator user.
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 5.8 2.4.3.4 SU Antenna Alignment Antenna alignment can be done with GigAccess™ Unit Manager software tool. The tool runs on PC with Windows operating system. In general, low gain antenna (such as omni antennas) do not required alignment due to their very wide radiation pattern. High gain antennas have a narrow beam width and therefore require alignment procedure in order to optimize the link.
WaveIP Ltd. GigAccess™ OFDM 5.8 2.4.5 Cables Straight CAT5 Gauge 24-shielded outdoor rated cable must be installed between Outdoor Unit and Indoor Outlet. It should be UV resistant and flame retardant. The cable should be UL listed and contain at least 4 twisted pairs. The outdoor cables scheme is given in Appendix F – Outdoor Cable Scheme. The Indoor Outlet side and Outdoor Unit side will crimped with RJ-45 tool. CAT5 cable must not exceed 300 feet (91 meters).
