Functional description
160 MPR-e
See the Equipping Options Drawing for unlicensed radio configurations and equipping
options, found in the 9500 MPR-A Engineering Support Documentation manual (PN
3EM23957AN).
The 9558HC unlicensed radio operate in the 5725-5850 Information, Scientific, and Medical
(ISM) band in accordance with FCC Part 15.247 and IC RSS-210. This unlicensed radio,
although operating in the same band as a spread spectrum radio, operates using narrower
bandwidths than spread spectrum. Advantages, disadvantages, and antenna recommendations
for the unlicensed radio follow:
Advantages:
• Fast installation and Turn-Up
• Between 6.6 — 185 Mb/s user configurable data payload capacity consisting of a
combination of DS1, DS3, and/or Ethernet traffic
• Field expandable to higher capacities.
• Common network management with licensed radios.
• Common spares and training with licensed radios
• Adaptive Modulation - automatic interference countermeasures
Disadvantages:
• Interference from other 5725-5850 ISM band transmissions are possible
• Operating restrictions
• 5.725 to 5.850 GHz band
• Performance could deteriorate due to interference as the frequency band becomes
congested.
Antenna recommendations:
• Frequency – 5.8 GHz
• Size and Type – 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 foot parabolic; 1 or 2 foot flat panel.
→ Parabolic antennas, See 5.8 GHz unlicensed antenna options.
→ Flat antennas, See 5.8 GHz unlicensed antenna options.
• Gain and 3 dB Beamwidth
