2.2 AP Sector Antenna Options

When combined with a sector antenna, the Connectorized Synchronized Radio can provide a
specific area of coverage. ePMP APs are connectorized radios and can support any coverage you
need. However, we recommend using the ePMP with the high-performance antennas that have been
developed specifically for the ePMP product – either a 4-sector or a 3-sector dual polarity (H+V)
antenna. These antennas have been specially engineered to be of high quality and have the required
Front to Back ratio needed to enable frequency reuse. In particular, we recommend the use of the
90 degree sector antenna. With the recommended Cambium antenna, a four sector ePMP site can
be built using only two frequency channels. This provides the optimum level of spectrum efficiency.
Your individual network and configuration may require a different sector width. In that case, third
party antennas may be utilized to meet that need. If alternative configurations are needed, be sure
that local regulations are followed prior to purchase.
In the event that you choose to utilize a third party antenna, please note that the cable required to
connect the AP to the antenna is not included and must be purchased separately. The connectors
on the ePMP Connectorized radio are of the RP-SMA (Reverse Polarity Subminiature version A)
type. Many third party antennas utilize N type connectors. A cable that will convert between these
connector formats will be required and are readily available from a variety of suppliers.

2.3 Power Supply for Connectorized, Synchronized Radio

Each ePMP Radio requires a power supply to generate the supply voltage from the external DC
source and inject the voltage into the radio. The power supply connects to the radio and network
equipment via Cat 5e cable with RJ45 connectors.
The radio comes with a 30V Power supply which supports Gigabit Ethernet operation on the Cat
5e cable. The radio supports an input voltage range of 23 – 56 V and the PoE interface is 802.3af
compliant. There is a variety of alternative powering methods that can be used. The Connectorized,
Synchronized radio can be powered from either the Cambium CMM3 or CMM4 devices. Alternative-
ly, the radio can be powered by 802.3af PoE compliant switches.
