This is a Class 1 laser product. Invisible laser radiation can be emitted from the aperture of the
port when no fiber is connected; therefore, avoid exposure to laser radiation and do not stare
into open apertures.
FCC
Information
The FCC occupational controlled limit for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is 5 mW/cm . It is
estimated that the maximum power density at the radome is 1.25 mW/cm , which is below the
FCC MPE limit. Since the power density for an occupational controlled environment is less than
the FCC limit, no additional precautions are necesary. The occupational uncontrolled environment
limit for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) is 1 mW/cm . To meet this MPE requirement, the
operator must be at a distance of 5.41 in or 13.75 cm away from the radome cover of the system.
However, an installer can reduce exposure further by turning off the power to the device or by
issuing a CLI command to the device to mute its power.

3 Product
Overview
An AbsoluteAir 2 (AA2) link bridges layer 2 Ethernet traffic across a point-‐to-‐point RF
communication link and consists of two devices, a Concentrator Node (CN) at the base and an
Edge Node (EN) at or near the edge of the network. AA2 is based on adaptive array system (AAS)
technology and multipath-‐tolerant OFDMA modulation.
The CN obtains network synchronization by leveraging an integrated, sensitive GPS module. Power
requirements for both units are modest and can be powered over Ethernet (PoE).
As an all-‐in-‐one device, AA2 (CN or EN) becomes fully functional upon connection of a power cable
and Ethernet. Enclosed in the IP67 housing are printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) that
contain the IP packet processing and radio electronics coupled to an internal passive antenna for
over-‐the-‐air transmission. To achieve the highest throughput for particular link conditions,the
system dynamically adapts to the best modulation scheme. The system utilizes time division
duplex (TDD) radio transmission.
The Tarana AA2 system is designed to enable the deployment of inexpensive, high capacity
wireless links in difficult non-‐line-‐of-‐sight (NLoS) propagation environments. The system design
enables efficient and rapid deployment of 3G and 4G base stations, helping operators to
dramatically increase the capacity of their cellular networks while overcoming the backhaul
bottleneck.
AbsoluteAir products are available for operation in the 2.5-‐2.7 GHz band and the 3.3-‐3.8 GHz
band as separate SKUs.
Figure 1 shows a CN .

Deployment
Configuration
Two AA2 devices (CN and EN) make up a complete link. In point-‐to-‐multipoint (PMP) scenarios,
the system consists of up to four independent point-‐to-‐point (PTP) links operating on one
frequency channel with the CN devices mounted together at the same location. The CN and EN
carry bi-‐directional Ethernet traffic across the radio link.
Tarana Wireless — AbsoluteAir 2 Manual
Page 13 of 61
3.2
Non-‐Line-‐of-‐Sight,
Point-‐to-‐Multipoint
Backhaul
AbsoluteAir products operate in all propagation morphologies and conditions. They operate at
the same capacity and link rate regardless of the type of multipath, whether it is characterized as
non-‐line of sight (NLoS), near line of sight (nLOS), or line of sight (LOS). The advanced signal
processing and the state-‐of-‐the art antenna technology is able to re-‐assemble all wavefronts and
eliminate destructive fading. The processing is very thorough; it comes within 1 dB of the channel
equalization limit.
The NLoS property frees network operators from deploying point-‐to-‐point (PTP) LOS wireless links
with large rooftop microwave dishes that must be carefully engineered, sited, and aligned.
In point-‐to-‐multipoint (PMP) scenarios, the system consists of up to four (4) independent PTP links
operating on one frequency channel, with the CN devices mounted together at the same location.
All these aggregated backhaul links share the same 10 MHz or 20 MHz radio channel, and operate
simultaneously at full rate. This is achieved via advanced mutual interference cancellation
between links. All the devices at the Concentrator site use multiple, simultaneous AAS beams to
collect and concentrate traffic from the four Edge sites. Multiple CN devices can be co-‐located at a
given location. CNs and ENs are never co-‐located because all CNs transmit at the same time that
all ENs receive.
The system capacity of this PMP system in 20 MHz is 800 Mbps (first hop).
3.3
Frequency
Bands
and
Frequency
Reuse
AA2 systems operate using TDD in 10 or 20 MHz of unpaired spectrum, and are available in three
licensed frequency bands: the 2496 -‐ 2690 MHz band, the 3400 -‐ 3800 MHz band and the 5300 –
5925 MHz band.
The universal frequency reuse pattern allows a single RF channel to be reused for all links in the
service area. This is in keeping with the design philosophy to maximize the amount of spectrum
available for access and to minimize the amount of spectrum needed for backhaul.
3.4
Key
Applications
Cellular Backhaul
AbsoluteAir products enable cellular carriers to expand their networks in rural and urban areas
quickly and cost-‐effectively, which leads to a lower total cost of ownership. AbsoluteAir systems
are ideally suited for a broad range of cellular backhaul deployment scenarios. Using the system’s
key wireless enhancements, including NLoS, auto-‐alignment, and interference cancellation, allows
carriers to extend network coverage, densify their existing network, and deploy small cells in
otherwise challenging environments.
IP Backhaul
The AbsoluteAir radio series offers a unique, highly scalable and cost-‐effective backhaul solution.
Designed to suit a wide range of topologies, AbsoluteAir is easy to install and maintain, enabling
wireless operators to expand their networks and introduce new services to a growing subscriber
base.
Private Networks
AbsoluteAir is the ideal solution for private networks such as enterprises and organizations that
want to own and manage their own networks and eliminate recurring charges from local service
providers. The cost-‐effective AbsoluteAir solution enables a variety of organizations to connect
geographically dispersed sites at ranges of up to 10 km.

Pin 1 is +48 V compared to pin 4, or pin 4 is –48 V compared to pin 1. Pin 1 and pin 4 are isolated
from the chassis ground, while pin 3 is connected to chassis ground inside the device. Pin 3 of the
cable must be connected to earth ground on the other side of the cable. The following figures
show the numbering of the pins in the cable connector and the chassis connector.

The power supply for the unit is rated at 90 W (1.8 A @ 48 V). The power consumption is a
function of the percentage of the time that a unit transmits. For example, for a configuration with
DL:UL ratio 1:1, the CN typically consumes 46 W and the EN consumes 38 W.

All the 3 Eth ports can be used to bring in Gigabit ethernet traffic for the link. So a variety of 3
different data sources can be multiplexed here. The two Ethernet ports, Eth1 and Eth2 are
equipped to provide power over ethernet (PoE) for the device. By bringing in PoE to the device,
the power connection through the dedicated power cable(as discussed in the previous section)
can be avoided.
As a result, to connect the unit to a single data source, the following two ways can be used.
1.
Dedicated power and dedicated Data connection
2.
Single Data connection connected through PoE
By default, Tarana units use the native VLAN 1 for management purposes. So, no dedicated
interface formanagement is necessary.

Check
Package
Contents
Verify that the contents of the shipping container match the items listed on the shipping list,
including the model numbers and identification of EN_M and EN_S units.
6.3
Mount
the
Unit
To allow for proper link alignment, always install the EN_M prior to installing associated EN_S
units. See Section 6.5 for details on the link alignment process.
1.
Position the elevation adjustment bracket on the elevation adjustment plate on the back of
the device. Markings on the plate indicate the proper location for up tilt or down tilt
orientation. There is only one way to position the bracket for each orientation so that the four
mounting holes are aligned.
2.
3.
Attach and tighten the elevation adjustment bracket using a Torx T30 screwdriver and four
M6 machine screws. Torque these screws to 42-‐60 in-‐lb (5-‐7 Nm).
If the pole mount kit has not already been assembled, place one RIPP lock washer in the each
of the counter bores of the pole-‐mount gimbal. Insert the pole-‐mount gimbal into the pole-‐
mount bracket and hand tighten using the azimuth adjustment bolt and nut.
Tarana Wireless — AbsoluteAir 2 Manual
Page 23 of 61
4.
Slip two Band-‐It mini bolt clamps through the pole bracket to complete the pole mount kit.
Tarana Wireless — AbsoluteAir 2 Manual
Page 24 of 61
5.
Attach the pole mount kit to the pole with the gimbal hook facing upward. To install the mini
bolt clamps, insert the band through the slot under the Allen head locking bolt. Pull the band
through the slot until nearly tight, then fold over the band at the edge of the locking bolt/slot.
Torque the locking bolt with the 5mm Allen wrench to 42-‐44 in-‐lb (4.75-‐5 Nm). Clip off excess
band if required. Partially tighten the tension bolt to secure the mini bolt clamp to the pole.
Do not tighten completely, as you might want to adjust the location later as part of signal
optimization.
6.
The node has lifting holes on the elevation adjust plate. To keep the node from falling during
installation, use a safety clip with a lanyard to tether the node to the pole structure.
7.
Orient the node so that the product label is on the bottom. Position the node on the pole so
that the hanger bolt on the elevation adjustment bracket slips onto the gimbal hook.
The node should be in maximum downtilt position (regardless of uptilt or downtilt
orientation) and hang freely (swivel freely up and down). There will also be some horizontal
give because the azimuth adjustment bolt was only hand‐tightened. When hanging the
node, the gimbal must enter the two mechanical stops (a slight uptilt allows the node to be
inserted between the two mechanical stops)
Tarana Wireless — AbsoluteAir 2 Manual
Page 25 of 61
Verify that the hanger bolt is fully hanging on the gimbal hook.
8.
Slide the elevation adjustment bolt through the gimbal and hand tighten. Do not torque the
bolt at this time, as you might want to adjust the location later as part of link alignment. After
the alignment has been completed, the torque applied to the nuts should be 25 ft-‐lb (33 Nm).
9. Rotate the node tilt to the desired elevation and hand tighten. Do not torque the bolt at this
time, as you might want to adjust the location later as part of link alignment later on. After
the alignment has been completed, the torque applied to the nuts should be 25 ft-‐lb (33 Nm).
10. Hand tighten the hanger bolt. Do not torque the bolt at this time, as you might want to adjust
the location later as part of signal optimization.

Power
Up
1.
Ground the unit by attaching the grounding wire assembly to the device and to earth ground
in accordance with local electrical code requirements.
2.
Remove the dust covers from the Power and required ETH ports. Push the data cables in until
they click into place.
The unit supports 48 VDC or PoE power (see “Power and Data Options”). If you are using the 48V
DC power option, remove the dust cover from the power connector and leave it hanging. Insert
the 48 VDC power cable into the node and push until the cable connector clicks into place. (If you
need to remove the cable press on the side and pull, no tools are required).
3.
Attach the device to external power (48 VDC or PoE). As soon as the unit is connected to a
power source, it powers up automatically.
Notice the changes in the LEDs during power-‐up. The Power LED will be Red Solid for 2
seconds first. All LEDs will then quickly cycle through all colors. When the unit is successfully
powered, the POWER LED is solid green.

Link
Alignment
The EN_M is always installed prior to the EN_S. The EN_M is pointed directly towards the
eventual location of the EN_S as if the link were an LOS link. Using a compass, e.g. Smartphone,
the installer then aligns the EN_M to point according to the azimuth and tilt rows in the
completed Appendix C table. For severe NLoS links, the EN_M might need to be pointed slightly
Tarana Wireless — AbsoluteAir 2 Manual
Page 31 of 61
away from the planned azimuth to avoid nearby buildings and pointing towards the potential
reflector.
The following steps should be performed at the EN_S location. It is assumed that the other end of
the link is installed, fully commissioned, and powered up.
EN_M location
Point the EN_M directly towards the intended EN_S location using a compass according to the
azimuth and tilt rows in Appendix C.
EN_S location
Before following this procedure, verify that the EN_M end of the link is installed, fully
commissioned, and powered up.
1.
Remove the USB cover by removing the Push-‐pull console cap. This exposes the USB port.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Attach a USB WiFi dongle to the USB port.
Connect your laptop or other portable device to the WiFi SSID (tarana-‐).
The EN_S can now be reached from the device at http://. Verify that the link is in
Tracking state.
Rotate the EN_S 360 degress around the mount. Observe the peak measured link quality.
Then rotate the EN_S back to the position of maximum link quality.When the device is
positioned for best alignment, tighten the bolts and nuts associated with azimuth and
elevation adjustment to 25 ft-‐lb (33 Nm) of torque.
Reattach the console cover.

Network
Link
Code
Planning
For an EN_M to communicate with an EN_S, they must have the same link_code. The link code
must be unique to the EN_M/EN_S pair.
A link_code consists of the following numbers: group_id, set_id, cell_id, and link_id.
Plan the assignment of link codes in the network before installing any EN devices. Divide the
network into groups, sets, cells, and links, with groups as the largest division and links as the
smallest division.
group_id
group_id ranges from 0 to 65535, and a typical metropolitan service area consists of several
groups. From an IP perspective, place the nodes in a given metropolitan service area in the same
same subnet.
set_id
set_id range values are 0-‐3. Figure 6 shows 4 adjacent groups and 4 sets within each group.

The center of a cell is usually a tall building or a tower with up to 6 EN_M devices installed. The
communication protocol is designed for co-‐located EN_M devices, with EN_S devices dispersed
throughout the rest of the cell. The communication protocol does not support two EN_S within a
few feet of each other, each attempting to communicate to two EN_M both mounted on a single
tower. From the tower's perspective, the various EN_S must be separated in azimuth and 0
degrees of separation is inadequate.
Figure 7 shows 4 adjacent sets and 24 cells within each set. Numbers represent cell IDs. Colors
represent the bank, or the geographical reuse of communication codes. No two adjacent cells can
have the same bank (color) When assigning cells to geographical coverage areas, maintain the
relative geographical relationships between cells with respect to the cell_id.
For example, suppose that north is towards the top of Figure 7. Cell 17 is adjacent and to the
north of cell 4, cell 11 is adjacent and to the north-‐east of cell 4, cell 22 is adjacent and to the
south-‐east of cell 4, and so on.

Pattern
You can assign cell numbers to geographical areas as follows.
1.
2.
Start with a cell somewhat in the center of the service area and assign it as 3.0, meaning
(set_id = 3.cell_id = 0).
Assign 2.14 to the cell immediately north-‐west of 3.0.
Tarana Wireless — AbsoluteAir 2 Manual

3.
4.
5.
Assign 0.15 to the cell immediately north-‐east of 3.0.
Assign 1.1 to the cell immediately south-‐west of 0.15.
Continue assigning set_id and cell_id using the figures in this section as a guide, trying to
maintain the general relationships between the cell locations
The 4 colors of the cells in For example, suppose that north is towards the top of Figure 7. Cell 17
is adjacent and to the north of cell 4, cell 11 is adjacent and to the north-‐east of cell 4, cell 22 is
adjacent and to the south-‐east of cell 4, and so on.
Figure 7represent different blocks of codes that the devices use to communicate with each other.
Any two adjacent cells must not have the same bank (color), whether or not they are in the same
set. For example, a rose cell (such as cell 4) must not be reused until one travels two cells away
(to cell 20, for example). All 6 cells that are adjacent to rose cell 4 are not rose in color, meaning
that they each use a different block of communication codes compared to cell 4. Note that cells 8,
12, 16, and 20 are two cells away from cell 4 and reuse the rose block of communication codes.
The second goal in assigning the cell number to a geographical area is to maximize the minimum
distance between any two cells with the same block of communication codes (or color).
The bank represents the color in Figure 6.
mod(cell,4) == 0 (cells 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20) have rose communication codes,
mod(cell,4) == 1 (cells 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21) have tan communication codes,
mod(cell,4) == 2 (cells 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22) have green communication codes, and
mod(cell,4) == 3 (cells 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23) have blue communication codes.
link_id
link_id specifies the individual links within a cell. A PTP link consists of one EN_M and one EN_S.
link_id ranges from 0 to 5. Thus, there up to 6 EN_M at the center of a cell.
For example, if you are deploying a network with 4 links per cell, you could assign a pattern of the
following type:
link_id = 0 to the link that has an EN_S to the north of the center of the cell,
link_id = 1 to the link that has an EN_S to the east of the center of the cell,
link_id = 2 to the link that has an EN_S to the south of the center of the cell, and
link_id = 3 to the link that has an EN_S to the west of the center of the cell.
