2. General
2.0 Product Overview
The nMIMO2458 is a high-performance embedded wireless data
transceiver. Operating in the 2400 – 2483.5 MHz or 5725 – 5875 MHz
ISM bands (selectable), this spread-spectrum module is capable of
providing reliable wireless data transfer between almost any type of
equipment. The small-size and superior RF performance of this module
make it ideal for many applications.
While a pair of nMIMO2458 modules can link two terminal devices
(“point-to-point” operation); multiple modules can be used together to
create a network of various topologies, including “point-to-multipoint” and
“repeater” operation. Multiple independent networks can operate
concurrently, so it is possible for unrelated communications to take place in
the same or a nearby area without sacrificing privacy or reliability.
1.1 Features
Key features of the nMIMO2458 include:
 transmission within a public, license-exempt band(s) of the
radio spectrum1 – this means that it can be used without access
fees (such as those incurred by cellular airtime).
 Up to 30dB transmit power in 2.4GHz mode, or up to 20dB in
5.8 GHz mode.
 a serial I/O data port with handshaking and hardware flow
control, allowing the nMIMO2458 to interface directly to any
equipment with an asynchronous serial interface.
 ease of installation and use – the nMIMO2458 module uses a
subset of standard AT style commands, very similar to those
used by traditional telephone line modems.
 all units in a system are physically identical, and can be
configured as a master, repeater or slave using the AT
command set. No hardware modifications are required
 128 sets of user-selectable pseudo-random hopping patterns,
intelligently designed to offer the possibility of separately
operating multiple networks while providing security,
reliability and high tolerance to interference.
 encryption key with 65536 user-selectable values to maximize
security and privacy of communications.
 32-bit of CRC error detection and auto re-transmit to provide
accuracy and reliability of data.
2400-2483.5 MHz or 5725 – 5875 MHz, which are license-free within North America; may
need to be factory-configured differently for some countries.
 TDMA (time division multiple access) support, allowing
multi-slave access in point-to-point mode.
 roaming ability, allowing repeaters and slaves to resynchronize with a new master if the synchronization pulse
from the original master is lost.
While the typical application for the nMIMO2458 is to provide a short- to
mid-range wireless communications link between DTEs, it can be adapted
to almost any situation where an asynchronous serial interface is used and
data intercommunication is required.
2.1 Output Power Level
The Output Power Level determines at what power the nMIMO2458
transmits. The nMIMO2458’s sensitive receiver can operate with very low
power levels, so it is recommended that the lowest power necessary is used;
using excessive power contributes to unnecessary “RF pollution”.
Ideally, you should test the communications performance between units
starting from a low power level and working upward until the RSSI is
sufficiently high and a reliable link is established. The conditions will vary
widely between applications, the output power settings can be calculated
based on following information.

Transmitter antenna gain

Cable loss

Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP)
Power Setting = 31.51 – Antenna Gain – Cable Loss
The power setting must be no more than the above calculation value.

3.0 Overview
The nMIMO2458 complies with FCC part 15 at the modular level for
operation in the license-free 2400-2483.5 MHz or 5725 – 5875 MHz ISM
bands. This chapter provides guidelines for installing and deploying
equipment which incorporates the nMIMO2458 module.
3.1 Estimating the Gain Margin
Successful communication between nMIMO2458 modules is dependent on
three main factors:

System Gain

Path Loss

Interference
System gain is a calculation in dB describing the performance to be
expected between a transmitter-receiver pair. The number can be calculated
based on knowledge of the equipment being deployed. The following four
factors make up a system gain calculation:
1.
Transmitter power (user selectable)
2.
Transmitter gain (transmitting antenna gain minus cabling loss between
the transmitting antenna and the nMIMO2458 module)
3.
Receiver gain (Receiving antenna gain minus cabling loss between the
receiving antenna and the module)
4.
Receiver sensitivity (Specified as -108dBm on the nMIMO2458
module)
In the following illustration, the transmitting antenna has a gain of 2 dB,
and the receiving antenna has a gain of 2 dB. The cable loss between the
module and the antenna is 0.49 dB on both the transmitting and receiving
side.
Cable Loss = 0.49 dB
Cable Loss = 0.49 dB
Antenna Gain = 2 dB

Figure 1 Gain Calculation
The power level has been set to 30dBm (1W) on the transmitter, and the
receiver sensitivity for the nMIMO2458 is -108dBm.
System gain would be calculated to be:
30 – 0.49 + 2 + 2 – 0.49 + 108 = 141 dB.

Distance (km)
Figure 2 System Deploying
When deploying your system, care must be taken to ensure the path loss
(reduction of signal strength from transmitter to receiver in dB) between
equipment does not exceed the system gain (141 dB in the above example).
It is recommended to design for a gain margin of at least 20 dB to ensure
reliable communication. Gain margin is the difference between system gain
and path loss. Referring to the same example, suppose the path loss is 100
dB, the gain margin would be 41 dB, which is more than adequate for
reliable communication.
Path loss is a very complicated calculation which mainly depends on the
terrain profile, and the height of the antennas off the ground.
The following table provides path loss numbers for varying antenna heights
and antenna separation: These numbers are real averages taken from rural
environments. They do not apply to urban, non-line-of-sight environments.

Once the equipment is deployed, you can verify the signal strength by
entering into Command Mode and reading Register S123. This register
provides the average signal strength in dBm. The minimum strength for
communication is roughly -108dBm. For consistent reliable
communication, you should try to deploy the equipment such that signal
strength exceeds -90dBm.
3.2 Antennas and Cabling
This section describes the recommended procedure for installing cabling
and antennas for use with the nMIMO2458 module.
3.2.1 Internal Cabling
The most common method for installing the module is to run a cable from
the module’s UFL connector to a reverse TNC bulkhead connector on the
chassis of the equipment as shown in Figure 3. This cable can be purchased
from Microhard Systems.

Cable losses are negligible for the short piece used within the chassis.
Additional losses up to 0.5 dB may be present in the UFL and Reverse TNC
connections.
nMIMO2458 Operating Manual
3.2.2 Antennas
WARNING:
MAXIMUM EIRP
Up to 31.51 dBm effective
isotropically radiated power
(EIRP) in 2.4 GHz Band.
Therefore, the sum of the
transmitted power (in dBm), the
cabling loss and the antenna gain
cannot exceed 31.51 dBm with
respect to the isotropic radiator.
Direct human contact with the antenna is potentially unhealthy when the
nMIMO2458 is generating RF energy. Always ensure that the nMIMO2458
equipment is powered down during installation. At all times a distance of 23
cm (33cm for Industry Canada) must be maintained between the antenna
and any person when the device is in operation.
Antenna Type
The nMIMO2458 is tested and approved to be used with a Rubber Ducky,
Omni-directional antenna which is suitable for applications where there are
multiple units that you must communicate with, or with units that are in
motion.
Antenna Type Note (Rubber Ducky):
WARNING:
The nMIMO2458 can only be
used with any antennas listed in
Appendix A.
WARNING:
Be careful with dBi vs dBd gains
on antenna specifications.
Antenna manufactures may not
clearly indicate the gain on the
antenna if it is dBd or dBi. Note
1dBd = 2.15dBi.
Maximum Gain of 2dBi for 2.4GHz Band with a minimum cable loss of
0.49, the antenna assembly gain shall not exceed (2 – 0.49) dBi.
Maximum Gain of 3dBi for 5.8GHz Band with a minimum cable loss of
1.02, the antenna assembly gain shall not exceed (3 –1.02) dBi.
Microhard Systems Inc. can provide you with approved antennas to ensure
FCC and Industry Canada compliance.
The nMIMO2458 (2.4 GHz Band) has a maximum of 31.51 dBm effective
isotropically radiated power (EIRP).
EIRP is calculated as follows:
EIRP = Tx Power(dBm) - Cable/Connector Loss(dB) + Ant Gain(dBi)
Antenna Gains must be in dBi when calculating the EIRP limit.
1dBd = 2.15dBi
Use the guidelines in the previous section for calculating cable and
connector losses. If cabling and connector losses are 2 dB, then the
maximum allowable gain of the antenna will be 2 dB.

ayant un gain maximal de 2 dBi(3 à 5.8GHz). Antennes pas inclus dans cette liste ou présentant un gain
supérieur à 2 dBi sont strictement interdits pour une utilisation avec cet appareil. L'impédance d'antenne
requise est de 50 ohms. Pour réduire les interférences radio potentielles pour les autres utilisateurs, le type
d'antenne et son gain doivent être choisis afin que la puissance isotrope équivalente (EIRP) ne soit pas
supérieure à celle requise pour une communication réussie rayonnée. Cet appareil numérique de classe B
est conforme à la norme ICES -003 du Canada.
