Legal Rights

FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement

The Cell Extender equipment has been tested and found to comply with

the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC

rules and EN300385 rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment

is operated in commercial, business and industrial environments. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,

if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,

may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of

this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful

interference in which case the user will be required to correct the

interference at the user’s own expense.

FCC Radiation Hazard Warning

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirement, the antenna used for

this transmitter must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent

structures with a separation distance of at least 2 meter from all

persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with

any other antenna or transmitter.

R&TTE Compliance Statement

This equipment complies with the appropriate essential requirements of

Article 3 of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC.

Safety Considerations

For the following safety considerations, “Instrument” means the Cell

Extender components and their cables.

Caution

To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are

qualified to do so.

Line Voltage

Before connecting this instrument to the power line, make sure that the

voltage of the power source matches the requirements of the

instrument.

Legal Rights

Installation Codes

The system must be installed according to country national electrical

codes. For North America, equipment must be installed in accordance to

the US National Electrical Code (NEC) Articles 110-16, 110-17 and

110-18 and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), Sections 2-202 and

2-308. Wiring methods are to be in accordance to NEC Article 300 and

CEC Section 12.

Over-Current Protection

A readily accessible external Listed branch circuit over-current

protective device rated 15 A must be provided.

Radio

The instrument transmits radio energy during normal operation. To

avoid possible harmful exposure to this energy, do not stand or work for

extended periods of time in front of its antenna. The long

term

characteristics or the possible physiological effects of Radio Frequency

Electromagnetic fields have not been yet fully investigated.

Outdoor Unit and Antenna Installation and Grounding

Be sure that the outdoors units, the antenna and the supporting

structure are properly installed to eliminate any physical hazard to

either people or property. Verify that the outdoors units and the

antenna mast (when using external antenna) are grounded so as to

provide protection against voltage surges and static charges. Alvarion

offers an installation kit which contains a mounting arm and grounding

hardware. Two kits are required for the two radio units of the Cell

Extender. Make sure that the installation of the outdoor unit, antenna

and cables is performed in accordance with all relevant national and

local building and safety codes.

Chapter 1 - System Description

Introducing the Cell Extender

The Cell Extender extends the reach of the system providing coverage to

areas that cannot otherwise be reached economically due to obstacles

or range limitations. In addition, the Cell Extender can be used to serve

small remote clusters of subscribers where subscriber density or other

economic factors do not warrant a completely separate cell.

Cell Extenders that operate in mixed radio bands offers additional

benefits: Operators that typically provide services using the 2.4 GHz or

5 GHz band, can benefit from the advantage of operating locally in the

900 MHz band, being able to provide services to customers within a

radius of half a mile in non line of sight environments with heavy

foliage.

The Cell Extender operates as an Access and Subscriber Unit that are

connected back-to-back. The Subscriber Unit component provides

connectivity to the primary base station. The Access Unit component

serves the Subscriber Units located in the area covered by the Cell

Extender.

The Cell Extender is comprised of an Interface Unit and two Radio

Units.

The Interface Unit includes the interface (indoor) units of both an

Access and Subscriber Unit connected to each other via a hub module.

It provides an interface for an optional local Ethernet connection and is

powered from the mains (110/220VAC).

The radio unit of the Subscriber Unit component incorporates an

integrated flat antenna.

The radio unit of the Access Unit component incorporates an RF

connection to an antenna.

The following tables provide details on the product line, frequency band

and types of radio unit applicable for each of the currently available

models of the Cell Extender:
