Lightning Protection
WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system. The wireless
equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer and must follow local and
national codes for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use
of non-standard practices and procedures could result in personal injury and damage to
equipment. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage even if these guidelines are
followed.
All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or induced
current from a near strike. Lightning protection and grounding practices in local and national
electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service outages, and serious injury.
Reasons for lightning damage are summarized as:
- Poorly grounded tower/antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into
equipment.
- Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment that can cause equipment failures from
lightning induced currents.
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth without
passing through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning protection system does not
prevent lightning from striking; it provides a means for controlling it and preventing damage by
providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely to ground. Improperly
grounded connections are also a source of noise that can cause sensitive equipment to
malfunction.
A good tower grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a tower strike away
from the building and equipment.
To limit the equipment damage due to a lightning strike, the following practices are recommended
for the wireless system:
- Provide direct grounding from the antenna mounting bracket, the radio and antenna and the
lightning arrestors to the same ground point at the base of the tower or a ground bus on the
building. Use the grounding screws on the antenna bracket and the radio and antenna for
terminating the ground wires.
- The AC wall outlet ground must be connected to the same grounding system as the BS.

2 Introduction
This section provides a descriptive overview of the Air4Gp and its place in the product suite.
2.1 Air4Gp
Air4Gp is a dual protocol compact Base Station: WiMAX (IEEE802.16e) Base Station and
simultaneously an LTE eNodeB. The Air4Gp is a Pico base station operating on unlicensed
frequency bands and can support up to 4 carriers that can be deployed to cover a single sector or
two distinct sectors. It can run either WiMAX or LTE or both WiMAX and LTE. It includes
integrated quad transmitters to support four channel diversity and MIMO with an optional
integrated dual slant antenna. It is a highly integrated compact base station with all-in-one
packaging of RF and base-band components. It is available mounted outside on a pole or wall.
Air4Gp is available in frequencies between 150 MHz and 6 GHz and in numerous channels .
Air4Gp currently operates in the 5.x frequency band and was designed to overcome harsh
interference conditions due to its 4x4 MIMO capability. The Tx power of the Air4Gp is limited to
22dBm, or 27dBm (depending on the variant), to meet unlicensed band regulations. Air4Gp can
