Page 10 Commercial in Confidence UGD-D00181 Rev G
Air4G-W24 Installation Guide
be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as is
practical.
Lightning Protection
WARNING: The following notes are general recommendations for the system. The wireless
equipment should be installed by a qualified professional installer and must follow local and
national codes for electrical grounding and safety. Failure to meet safety requirements and/or use
of non-standard practices and procedures could result in personal injury and damage to
equipment. A direct lightning strike may cause serious damage even if these guidelines are
followed.
All outdoor wireless equipment is susceptible to lightning damage from a direct hit or induced
current from a near strike. Lightning protection and grounding practices in local and national
electrical codes serve to minimize equipment damage, service outages, and serious injury.
Reasons for lightning damage are summarized as:
- Poorly grounded tower/antenna sites that can conduct high lightning strike energy into
equipment.
- Lack of properly installed lightning protection equipment that can cause equipment failures from
lightning induced currents.
A lighting protection system provides a means by which the energy may enter earth without
passing through and damaging parts of a structure. A lightning protection system does not
prevent lightning from striking; it provides a means for controlling it and preventing damage by
providing a low resistance path for the discharge of energy to travel safely to ground. Improperly
grounded connections are also a source of noise that can cause sensitive equipment to
malfunction.
A good tower grounding system disperses most of the surge energy from a tower strike away
from the building and equipment.
To limit the equipment damage due to a lightning strike, the following practices are recommended
for the wireless system:
- Provide direct grounding from the antenna mounting bracket, the radio and antenna and the
lightning arrestors to the same ground point at the base of the tower or a ground bus on the
building. Use the grounding screws on the antenna bracket and the radio and antenna for
terminating the ground wires.
- The AC wall outlet ground must be connected to the same grounding system as the BS.

2 Introduction
This section provides a descriptive overview of the Air4G-W24 (formally MacroMAXe) (3.x, 2.x
and 0707) and its place in the product suite.
2.1 Air4G-W24
Air4G-W24 is a highly integrated macro-cell base station with all-in-one packaging of RF and
baseband components. Air4G-W24 includes integrated quad RF transceivers to support four
channel diversity and MIMO. It is available as an all outdoor solution for Mobile WiMAX
applications to minimize physical footprint and operator OPEX.
Air4G-W24 fully supports the interoperable R6 reference point for interworking with ASN
Gateways. Air4G-W24 also has a “Stand Alone” mode for fixed/nomadic applications which do not
require seamless handover. When Air4G-W24 is used in “Stand Alone” mode there is no need for
an ASN Gateway. Air4G-W24 supports IP CS and Ethernet CS. It even supports a hybrid mode
where both IP CS and Ethernet CS (including VLAN support) are supported. Air4G-W24
implements dual 40dBm (10W) transmitters in 2.x GHz, dual 38 dBm (6.3W) in 700 MHz and dual
37dBm (5W) transmitters in 3.x GHz band.
Air4G-W24 is an outdoor radio that is mounted outside on a pole or wall. Air4G-W24 is available
in numerous frequency bands and in numerous channels see: Air4G-W24 Frequency Ranges.
Air4G-W24 is managed by an SNMP-based network management system (Netspan) using
standard and proprietary MIBs. Basic management can be performed using any standard Web
browser.
2.2 Air4G-W24 Frequency Ranges
The table below lists the frequency range of Air4G-W24 variants currently available. This table will

Note: Air4G-W24 can also be connected via a LAN Switch for greater Failsafe
protection.
Note: When the Fiber-Optic cable connection is employed the Ethernet cable
connection (Eth 1) is disabled.
Note: Auto-negotiation must always be enabled on the core network side.
Note: The Ethernet connections (Eth 2 and Eth 3) can be enabled / disabled via
the Air4G-W24 WEB interface to prevent unauthorized use. Check to enable,
uncheck to disable. See General Config.
Note: Illustration above displays the GPS connected directly to the top of the
units there is also a remote GPS antennae option.
