faulty product. This means failure analysis on said product will not be performed and reported to customers. All
failed units will be bagged and tagged so they can be revisited in the event that FreeWave experiences a high
degree of failures or a trend. At which time, FreeWave will perform a root-cause analysis and take the appropriate
corrective actions. Any visual or external damage noted on returned units will be communicated back to customers
and may void the warranty, at which time, a Purchase Order (PO) will be requested from the customer for product
replacement

the use of or inability to use this Product. This includes business interruption, loss of business information, or other
loss which may arise from the use of this Product. OEM customer’s warranty periods can vary.
Warranty Policy will not apply in the following circumstances:
1. If Product repair, adjustments, or parts replacements are required due to accident, neglect, or undue
physical, electrical, or electromagnetic stress.
2. If Product is used outside of FreeWave specifications as stated in the Product's data sheet.
3. If Product has been modified, repaired, or altered by Customer unless FreeWave specifically authorized
such alterations in each instance in writing. This includes the addition of conformal coating.
Special Rate Replacement Option

WavePoint 10e
Certified Antennas
A WavePoint™ can have multiple radio modules installed, each potentially operating at different
frequencies. The model number reflects the number and frequency of the radios installed inside the
WavePoint™ device and determines the type of antennas that can be used.
Important: The use of an antenna with a higher gain or a different type of antenna
other than those approved requires new FCC approval and should not be used.
Antenna Installation Warning
Important: This section provides the required FCC warning information for working
in proximity of the WavePoint™ antennas.
1. All antenna installation and servicing must be performed by qualified technical personnel
only.
a. When servicing the antenna, or working at distances closer than those listed below,
verify the transmitter has been disabled.
b. Output is measured at the antenna terminal of the transmitter.
c. The antennas used for the WavePoint™ must be fixed-mounted on outdoor
permanent structures to provide the minimum separation distances described in this
filing for satisfying RF exposure compliance requirements.
d. When applicable, RF exposure compliance may need to be addressed at the time of
licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureaus, including antenna co-location
requirements of §1.1307(b)(3).
2. Typically, the antenna connected to the transmitter is a directional (high gain) antenna,
fixed-mounted on the side or top of a building, or on a tower.
a. Depending upon the application and the gain of the antenna, the total composite power
could exceed 20 watts EIRP.
b. The antenna location must only be accessible by qualified technical personnel.
c. Under normal operating conditions, no other person can touch the antenna or
approach within 3.05 meters of the antenna.
Note: These antennas have been approved for use with WavePoint 10e and the
designated Tx Streams.
900MHz Antennas

compliance.

Antenna Installation
Antennas must be professionally installed on a fixed, mounted, and permanent structure to satisfy
RF exposure requirements.
Warning! Any antenna placed outdoors must be properly grounded. Use
extreme caution when installing antennas and follow ALL manufacturer
instructions included with the antenna.
Mise en garde ! Toute antenne placée à l'extérieur doit être correctement
mise à la terre. Soyez très prudent lors de l'installation d'antennes et suivre
toutes les instructions du fabricant fournies avec l'antenne.
Per FCC regulations, any antenna used with transceivers must be an approved antenna that has
comparable performance parameters.
Placement Considerations
Placement of the WavePoint 10e is likely to have a significant impact on its performance. The key to
the overall robustness of the RF link is the height and alignment of the antenna. Other antennas in
close proximity are a potential source of interference. See Diagnostics and Troubleshooting on page
149 for more information.

Chapter 1: Introduction
FreeWave Recommends: In general, FreeWave units with a higher antenna placement have a
better communications link.
Use grid and dish antennas with low attenuation cable in lengths ranging from 3 to 100 feet.
To help optimize an antenna location, have FreeWave complete a free Path Site
study.
Contact a FreeWave sales representative for a Path Study form.
Email the completed form to pathstudy@freewave.com.
Transmit Power Settings
The Transmit Power parameter is the output power of the transceiver.
Important: The information in this section describes the FCC maximum Equivalent
Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) regulations.
The transceiver output power level must be set to satisfy the maximum requirements
in the country the WavePoint 10e is installed in.
The installer is responsible for ensuring that an installation is within EIRP emission
limits.
When setting up the network, consider the power gain that an antenna may add and the power loss
through cabling. Adjust the Transmit Power on the transceiver so it does NOT exceed the
maximum EIRP for the regulating body where WavePoint 10e is installed. Use the tables to
determine the correct Transmit Power parameter setting for each transceiver in the network.
When calculating the power gain, use Equation 1 to determine the total output power at the
antenna.
Transceiver Output – Losses + Antenna Gain = Output Antenna Power
Equation 1
Note: Loss calculations should include cable, connectors, surge protectors, etc.
RF Loss
Cable losses for high frequency systems are one of the main losses to consider in Equation 1.
This table shows the RF loss at various cable lengths.
Example: Using the information in the table, a cable as short as 25 feet can have an
attenuation of almost 1dB.

RF Considerations for 2.4 GHz ISM Band
The FCC regulations for 2.4 GHz ISM Band are different for Point-to-Point (PTP) and Point-toMulti-Point (PtMP) links.
Peak Power Output
The maximum peak output power of the intentional radiator cannot exceed 1.000 Watts.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Digital Transmission Systems (MHz) Output Limit (Watts)
2400-2483.5
1.000
Important: Point-to-Point applications operating in the 2400-2483.5 MHz band may
employ transmitting antennas with directional gain greater than 6 dBi provided the
maximum peak output power of the intentional radiator is reduced by 1 dB for every
3 dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi.
Example:
2.4 GHz with a 24 inch dish has a maximum output of 24 dBm.
2.4 GHz with a 27 inch dish has a maximum output of 23 dBm.
Point-to-Point Link
Note: The FCC permits a maximum of 36dBm EIRP when using a transmitter set to
30dBm.
However, for each 1dBm reduction in the transmitter power, the FCC permits an
increase in antenna gain of 3dBi.
Extrapolating this rule through different maximum power settings on the WavePoint™ provides
these guidelines.

WavePoint 10e
Note: FreeWave has certified a dish antenna with a maximum gain of 27dBi.
This sets the maximum EIRP of a FreeWave system to 50 EIRP.
Dishes below 27dBi can be used with a corresponding reduction in total EIRP.
Point-to-Multi-Point Link
For Point-to-Multi-Point links, the FCC permits 1 Watt output power at the transceiver and 36dBm (4
Watts) at the antenna.
RF Considerations for 900MHz ISM Band
The 900MHz links requires these special considerations:
A Path Study is needed to confirm the right RF characteristics of the link.
The noise floor should be sampled at each site using similar antennas to the ones
expected to be deployed.
