Network operators should seek advice from the FCC if they have further questions about this process. 3

4 3.65GHz Spectrum General Background 3.65GHz is licensed under the FCC Part 90 Non-exclusive, lightly licensed band All locations of APs and SMs must be registered in FCC database No priority given to first-in or incumbent operators Competing operators must coordinate License is nation-wide and good for 10 years Power is limited to 1W/MHz EIRP PMP320 AP is considered a fixed base station PMP320 SM is considered a fixed end point Divided into two sub-bands Lower 25MHz is for restricted protocols Use of full 50MHz (3650 to 3700) is for unrestricted protocols Exclusion areas are defined around certain fixed satellite areas and government locations Agreement from license holders required before operating in these areas 4

5 3.65GHz Spectrum Power Limits Power is limited based on channel bandwidth and application PMP320 is categorized as base station and fixed stations (not mobile station) Power is limited to 1W per MHz maximum while staying below the required noise mask limits Refer to PMP320 Administration and Configuration Guide for instructions on setting the transmit power on the Access Point Assumes use of PMP degree sector and SM integrated antennas PMP320 AP has 2 transmitters (values below are for each transmitter) Transmit Power Limits per transmitter as set in AP configuration settings 10MHz channel: dbm 7MHz channel: dbm 5MHz channel: dbm 3.5MHz channel: dbm 5

6 3.65GHz Spectrum Exclusion Areas Operation in the areas indicated below require additional written agreement from grandfathered license holders Source: Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology 6

7 3.65GHz Spectrum Upper and Lower 25MHz 3.65GHz band is divided into two sub-bands PMP320 AP and SM is licensed to operate in both sub-bands The PMP320 connectorizedsm is only licensed to operate in the lower 25MHz. Upper 25Mhz application is in progress to 3.675GHz can use restricted protocols only (lower 25Mhz) PMP320 is licensed to operate restricted protocol only in lower 25MHz. When registering on the FCC web-site and selecting a lower 25MHz center frequency, the operator must select restricted protocol to 3.7GHz requires unrestricted protocol (upper 25Mhz) Systems must detect the presence of other systems If detected, system must go silent to allow competing system access to spectrum PMP320 will reset AP and re-register all SMs when alternative system is detected PMP320 is licensed to operate with the un-restricted protocol only in upper 25MHz. When registering on the FCC web-site and selecting an upper25mhz center frequency, the operator must select restricted protocol. 7
