OPPAP5857UNII Transmitter

T HE VC OM AP5857 S TRAND R ADIO S YSTEM The VCom AP5857strand radio system wirelessly extends the CATV HFC network into underserved and hard to reach areas. Operating in the 5.8 GHz unlicensed UNII band, the system provides a transparent full-duplex link for DOCSIS TM service with the same 64 QAM/256 QAM (downstream) and QPSK/16 QAM (upstream) signals that are used on the wired network. The AP5857, working in conjunction with the VCom TRI5758, significantly enhances market penetration of broadband wireless DOCSIS TM services while minimizing the infrastructure investment and maintaining advanced services. Product Features • Wirelessly extend CATV HFC networks to provide broadband wireless DOCSIS TM services to areas outside the reach of the wired plant • Strand mount design with fully weather-proof enclosure for quick and easy integration into the outdoor CATV HFC network • Supports SNMP management for remote control as well as local control via RS-232 interface for on site configuration and monitoring • Internal demodulator/remodulator ensures excellent downstream signal, independent of CATV downstream signal quality • Incorporates a number of features to control upstream ingress, protecting current wired customers and ensuring network integrity, such as: - Automatic upstream muting - Remote monitoring of upstream levels - Control of upstream gain and muting VCom Inc.

RF Safety Exhibit Revision: 02 Date: 4 November 2005 Equipment: CommScope Airbridge Access Point, model AP5800 FCC ID: TOU-AIRBRIDGE-AP The maximum safe distance from the antenna at which MPE is met or exceeded is calculated from the equation relating field strength in V/m, transmit power in Watts, transmit antenna gain, and separation distance in meters. Basis of calculations: Prediction of MPE limit at a given distance: Equation from page 18 of OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01: where: S = power density (mW/cm^2) P = power input to the antenna (mW) G = power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna (cm) Maximum average output power at antenna input terminal: 16.0 (dBm) Maximum average output power at antenna input terminal: 39.81 (mW) Antenna gain (typical): 14 (dBi) Maximum antenna gain: 25.1 (numeric) Prediction distance: 20 (cm) Prediction frequency: 5799-5823 (MHz) MPE limit for uncontrolled exposure at prediction frequency: 1 (mW/cm^2) Power density at prediction frequency: 0.199 (mW/cm^2) Maximum allowable antenna gain: 21.0 (dBi) Margin of Compliance at 20cm = 7.0 (dB) Installation Requirements: The AP5800 is supplied with an integrated antenna.
