Proprietary and ConfidentialPRELIMINARY DRAFTWIRELESS NETWORKS, INC SAN MATEO, CA3.0 System DescriptionThe Wireless Networks Falcon Packet Radio is used in a wireless local area network, operatingin the 450 - 470 MHz frequency band. The installed radio consists of a stand-alone countertopradio, cables to access Ethernet and data lines, AC wall transformer, antenna, and coax cable tothe antenna. The unit is powered by an AC wall transformer, which converts AC mains (90 –240 VAC) to DC voltage to power the radio. Data transmission capability is 19.2 kbps. Radio isoperated in half-duplex mode, and data is transmitted in packets. Front panel containsconnectors to AC transformer, Ethernet, data lines; front panel also contains indicator lights(LEDs). Rear panel contains connector to antenna. This radio is licensed by the FCC underparts 2 and 90, and meets FCC part 15.There are two main physical/functional blocks, an RF module and a digital board. The RFmodule is an off the shelf half duplex UHF RF link, capable of 2W of output power. The digitalboard is a printed circuit board that provides the remainder of the hardware functionality (CPU,peripherals, internal power supplies, etc.). Both the digital board and RF module reside in ametallic enclosure, to provide electromagnetic compatibility. With the exception of the antennaconnector, the digitial board provides all other connections to the outside of the enclosure.The Falcon Packet Radio operates in the 450 – 470 MHz frequency band and is used within alocal area wireless network. Synthesized RF Channels are selectable in the field, and can bechanged by instructions generated within the network. RF power output is fixed. The networkconsists of individual user sites and a hub which gathers all transmitted information, monitorsactivity, and generates instructions. Both of these functions utilize the same hardware.

Proprietary and ConfidentialPRELIMINARY DRAFTWIRELESS NETWORKS, INC SAN MATEO, CA7.0 InstallationInstallation of the Falcon Packet Radio should be near an AC outlet with enough distance to useprovided AC wall transformer. When utilizing the Ethernet capability, the unit should be closeenough to Ethernet data port for easy cabling. Installation is not permanent – this is acountertop unit that is easy to relocate. No tools are required for installation.Antenna is to be connected by a 22-foot coax cable from the rear panel of the Falcon PacketRadio.Connect AC wall transformer to DC input of radio making sure that jack seats fully in matingconnector; connect other end to AC wall outlet. Connect BNC cable connector from antenna toBNC connector on rear panel, making sure that connector locks into place. When connectingserial ports (RJ11) or Ethernet port (RJ45) be sure that connector clicks into place.Upon power-up, unit will perform self-tests.This unit to be installed only by properly trained professionals, in accordance with FCC rules andregulations.
