RDL-3000 FAMILY

8.3 Operation in 480 - 690 MHz Bands

Operation of the wireless system requires a software 'key' that is available exclusively
from Redline. When required by the regional regulatory statutes where the wireless
system is being deployed, the software key restricts device. The professional installer
and operator can not modify or otherwise circumvent these operational restrictions.
The RDL-3000 system supports operation with 2x2 MIMO antenna systems with two
transmit chains and two receive chains. The RDL-3000 system must be used only with
certified antenna types and using the channel size and output power level specified by
the local and regional regulations.
Important -- EIRP Levels: Where required by local regulations, the maximum
operational power per channel for a specific antenna must not exceed the maximum
allowable EIRP levels, The RF output power settings must be professionally
programmed by the manufacturer or a trained professional installer. Refer to the notices
in Section 1 of this manual.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in the following table.
Any additional antennas will be used only after authorization is obtained through Class II
permissive change.

Deployment in the United States

Operation of RDL-3000 wireless system requires an options key that is available
exclusively from Redline. This key restricts device operation to the FCC 473-695 MHz
band on TV channels 14 - 35 and 39 - 51. The professional installer and operator can
not modify or otherwise circumvent these operational restrictions.
To operate in the TV Whitespaces frequency range, each RDL-3000 system must
contact and register with the WSDB database server (server URL is programmed into
the RDL-3000 system). The RDL-3000 may only transmit on channels indicated as
'available' by the WSDB database. Channel assignments are temporary and the RDL-
3000 system must periodically contact the WSDB to refresh the channel list. The RDL-
3000 system vacates a channel in-use immediately when a WSDB database status
update indicates the channel is no longer available or the expiry time for an obtained list
has elapsed.
The RDL-3000 system operating as a PMP Sector Controller/PTP Master (PMP-SC) is
not allowed to transmit on any channel before registering with the WSDB database and
obtaining a list of available channels for its location. The RDL-3000 system operating as
a PMP Subscriber/PTP Slave (PMP-SS) is allowed to transmit on the channel currently
being used by the PMP-SC initially only for the purpose of registering with the WSDB
database and obtaining a list of available channels for its location. If the channel in-use
is not available, the PMP-SS notifies the PMP-SC and stops transmitting. The PMP-SS
may register and obtain the current channel list once per hour.
