The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 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 the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, users are encouraged to try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•Connect the equipment into 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.

Antennas and Installation Scenarios

Note Before choosing your antenna type and installation scenario, read through the following information.

Coexistence of radio standards:

When operating and planning installation of products with WiFi, 4G LTE, and GPS wireless standards coexisting on the IR829 platform, the user needs to provision greater than 15dB isolation between the WiFi and LTE antennas at all frequencies of 4G LTE and WiFI operation for minimum impact to performance.

Ideally, isolation should be 20-25dB or more. Specifically, users should not install 4G LTE dipoles and WiFi dipoles on the chassis at the same time, since doing so would generally result in less than 15dB isolation and may have a strong impact on performance depending on frequency bands in question.

Vehicular 5-in-1 and 2-in-1 installation and deployment notes

In the section that follows, the 5-in-1 antenna refers to ANT-5-4G2WL2G1-O, and 2-in-1 antenna refers to ANT-2-WLAN-D-O.

Figure 1-8 Sample Installation

Installation

Users need to provision a 8 x 8" flat mounting surface with a mounting hole on the roof of the vehicle for the 5-in-1 antenna, and a 6 x 6" flat mounting surface with a mounting hole for the 2-in-1 WiFi antenna. Without a flat mounting surface, the antenna will not meet IP67 standards and may have reduced service life.

Ground plane

Cisco recommends having a 1 foot ground plane under both the 5-in-1 and 2-in-1 antennas. In case of a metal vehicle roof, the roof itself shall be the ground plane. While Cisco has investigated the effects of ground plane and no ground plane, wireless performance was certified with the 1 foot ground plane.

Isolation between 5-in-1 and 2-in-1 antennas

Cisco recommends 18" inch spacing between the 5-in-1 and the 2-in-1 antenna centers for optimal isolation.

Cisco recommends routing the 2.4GHz WLAN ports of the IR829 to the 2-in-1 antenna, and the 5GHz ports to the 5-in-1 antenna to optimize isolation between WiFi 2.4 GHz and cellular 4G LTE. The 5-in-1 antenna has been fully optimized for WiFI and cellular LTE coexistence and isolation. Connecting the 2.4GHz WiFi signals to a separate antenna simply allows to user to optimize the antenna isolation further. Both the 5-in-1 and 2-in-1 are dual band WiFi capable and fully support both 2.4 GHz or 5GHz WLAN signals.

MIMO ports on 5-in-1 and 2-in-1

Cellular and WLAN ports on the 5-in-1 and 2-in-1 antennas support MIMO technology. MIMO brings significant improvements in throughput and robustness of the wireless link in fading channels. Users choosing to connect only one wireless port on MIMO capable products are giving up significant wireless performance in both throughput and robustness of the link.

•The individual 4G antenna cables on the 5-in-1 antenna can be connected to either cellular port of IR829. There is no one-to-one assignment requirement.

•The individual WLAN antenna cables on the 5-in-1 antenna and the 2-in-1 antenna can be connected to any WLAN port of IR829. There is no one to one assignment requirement.

The following section shows some examples of different installation scenarios.
