SkyPilot SkyExtender DualBand Installation and Setup Guide FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement SkyExtender DualBand FCC Number: RV7-DBE1010 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 90 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed, and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver. • Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. This equipment has been certified to comply with the limits for a class B computing device, pursuant to FCC Rules. In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the equipment without the approval of manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. Maximum Permissible Exposure In order to meet Industry Canada, FCC and other regulatory requirements for RF Exposure, the SkyGateway and SkyExtender units must be located a minimum of 21 cm (8 inches) from all persons. This distance is determined based upon the aforementioned 1 mW/cm2 limit, measured data, and the following far-field peak power density equation: [] S d GP)20/)(( 10282.0 + = where: d = MPE distance in cm P = Power in dBm (peak) G = Antenna Gain in dBi S = Power Density Limit in mW/cm 2 (1 mW/cm 2 ) Certified laboratory measurements indicate that the FCC’s Power Density Limit of 1 mW/cm2 is met at a distance of much less than 20 cm (8 inches). However the minimum distance for fixed or mobile transmitters is 20 cm even if calculations indicate the MPE distance is much less. FCC 15.203 statement Because this device uses standard RF connectors for the external removable antennas, professional installation is required. IC RSS-210 statement This device has been designed to operate with the external antennas for the 2.4 GHz band listed below, and having a maximum gain of 7.4 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 7.4 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

Introduction The SkyPilot Carrier-Class Broadband Wireless System supports an innovative architecture offering point-to-point, point-to- multipoint and mesh topologies. Automatic network discovery and connectivity allows an operator to quickly build a network offering high levels of coverage and redundancy. The system implements a sophisticated and flexible Layer 2 network. Rate control and packet prioritization enables multiple service offerings, including high-quality voice over IP (VoIP) support. Packet filtering combined with wireless link encryption provides very high levels of security. Full authentication and management of subscriber nodes is supported, with each network element providing an SNMP Agent and a Command Line Interface (CLI). Software images are upgraded over the air. This document provides a description of the SkyPilot system architecture and protocols. The hardware components are described along with details of network topologies and routing, spectral and link management, network-wide synchronization, quality of service, security provisions, and network management. System Components The SkyPilot Carrier-Class Broadband Wireless System has four hardware components that together support a highly flexible wireless network architecture: • SkyGateway The SkyGateway provides an interface between the wireless network and the Internet or other Local/Wide Area Network (LAN/WAN). The SkyGateway links directly to SkyExtenders and/or SkyConnectors as customer premises equipment (CPE) in point-to-point/multipoint configurations, or indirectly via multiple SkyExtender hops in a full mesh network topology. The SkyGateway has a compact, lightweight, fully integrated mechanical design with a 10/100Base-T interface and an integral GPS receiver to provide a highly accurate system timing source. • SkyExtender The SkyExtender enables a network operator to expand coverage and increase system capacity. The SkyExtender can link directly to a SkyGateway and/or one or more SkyExtenders and/or SkyConnectors. The SkyExtender hardware is identical to that of the SkyGateway, with the software image differentiating functionality. The 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface may be used to provide a subscriber interface, allowing the SkyExtender to perform double-duty as CPE that extends the network’s reach from the SkyGateway(s). • SkyExtender DualBand The SkyExtender DualBand has the same backhaul features as a SkyExtender, and adds an integral Wi-Fi access point to afford service providers with greater flexibility when deploying wireless access solutions in HotZones or HotRegions. As the name implies, the SkyExtender DualBand has separate radios for backhaul (at 5 GHz) and access (industry-standard IEEE 802.11b/g at 2.4 GHz). The separation of access from backhaul enables the use of multiple non-overlapping channels when deploying a “honeycomb” of Wi-Fi cells, thus enhancing throughput, subscriber density, network capacity and scalability. • SkyConnector The SkyConnector comes in both outdoor and indoor variants, and provides an interface between a subscriber and the wireless SkyPilot network. The link may be indirect via a SkyExtender or direct to a SkyGateway. The subscriber interface is standard 10/100Base-T Ethernet. The SkyConnector is fully integrated and houses a single antenna with a 28° horizontal cov…

MPE Calculations The device is not a portable device (i.e. intended to be worn on the body or be hand- held), so it is classified as being either a mobile device or a fixed mounted device. The user’s manual specifies a minimum separation distance of at least 21cm, consistent with this classification. FCC part 1.1310, Table 1 limits the power density for uncontrolled exposure. The power density, P d (mW/cm 2 ) calculated from the maximum EIRP, P t (mW) and the distance, d (m), between the transmitting antenna and the closest person, can be calculated using: P d = P t /(4 πd 2 ) RF Exposure Calculation for 2.4 GHz Transmitter Frequency MPE Limit (mW/cm 2 ) Output Power (mW) Max.
