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 15.247(b):
(1) The maximum peak output power of intentional radiator shall not exceed 1 Watt
(+30 dBm
).
(3) If transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used, the peak
output power from the intentional radiator shall be reduced below the maximum peak
power (of +30 dBm) as appropriate, by the amount in dB that the directional gain of
antenna exceeds 6 dBi.
That is to say that the maximum EIRP (Effective Isotropic Radiated Power) shall not
exceed +36 dBm
.
(ii) Systems operating in 5.8 GHz exclusively for fixed, point-to-point
operations
may employ transmitting antennas with directional gain greater than 6 dBi without
any corresponding reduction in transmitter peak output power.
That is to say that the maximum EIRP can exceed +36 dBm
in point-to-point
applications.
IMPORTANT! To comply with the FCC EIRP limits, the outdoor unit-transmit power
need to be adjusting according to the installed antenna gain.
Therefore a professional installation of the transmitter is required. The
outdoor unit must be configured at the time of installation by qualified
personal. Fail to comply with FCC rules may expose the installer to
legal liabilities.

Operating with integrated or detached antenna allowed only after outdoor unit power
setup is confirmed not to exceed +36 dBm EIRP for USA for point-to-multi-point
operation or +20 dBm EIRP for Europe for any antenna used
. For point-to-point
operation the EIRP can exceeds +36 dBm therefore configuration will done by a
professional installer. The configuration is only allowed by password of administrator
privilege.
The outdoor unit transmit power configuration is done by the Unit Manager Tool. The
tool consists of dedicated software running on a PC. This PC communicates with the
outdoors unit via the Ethernet and is used to burn the configuration parameters
(including the transmit power) into the outdoor unit. The tool limits the max transmit
power according to the selected antenna, the selected regulation (FCC) and the
