PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
13.2.1 Hardware
The connectorized version of the 30/60 Mbps Backhaul is designed to provide the system
integrator and installer with the ability to provide extra capability to cope with very difficult radio
links compared to the 30/60 Mbps Backhaul integrated version. The variant allows the use of a
variety of externally mounted antennas, either Flat Plate or Dish, which have higher gains than
provided by the integrated antenna.

13.2.2 Antenna Choices
The integrated antenna has a gain of 23.5dBi.
In non-FCC regions antenna choice is not restricted but any region specific EIRP limit should be
obeyed, see Table 4 in section 5.2 "Region Codes"
In FCC regions external antennas from the list in Section 13.2.2 can be used with the 30/60
Mbps Backhaul. These are approved by the FCC for use with the product and are basically
constrained by the following limits:
•
Single Polarization Flat Plate Antennas – up to 28dBi per antenna.
•
Single/Dual Polarization Parabolic Dish Antennas – up to 37.7dBi per polarization or
antenna.
In FCC regions when using external antennas – cable loss between the Connectorized 30/60
Mbps Backhaul and the antenna ports must not be less than 1.2dB
