Precyse Technologies, Ltd.. Date: 7 November 2013 Page 12 of 12 Precyse Technologies 100 Ashford Center North Suite 360 Atlanta, GA 30338 Antenna Antenna for the PBS is Pasternack 51028 Specifications: Type: Half wave dipole Gain: 5dBi Impedance: 50Ohm VSWR: < 2.0:1 Polarization: Vertical Radiation pattern: Omni Appendix A: Marketing and installation 1. The product intended use and application: The BS91103000 (PBS) is used as a radio base station for the iLocate system. By transmitting a synchronization signal, and receiving transmissions from other devices on the iLocate network it acts as a bridge between the iLocate hardware and a personal computer. 2. The EUT is installed either indoors or outdoors (inside an appropriate sealed box). The installation requirements are proper site planning, infrastructure (AC supply with an AC to DC adapter or DC supply, mechanical mounting, clearance around it), sealed box (Per Precyse Tech’s requirements, an IP55 or equivalent box uninterrupted power supply where required, etc). 3. Marketing: The EUT is sold to system integrators only. It is not available for the general public. The product requires non-trivial installation procedures.
