2 Safety Precautions
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all
phases of operation and service of the ELVA-1 products. Elva-1
assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these
requirements.
• This product is not designed to withstand a direct lightning
strike. It should be operated only with the protection of an
external lightning rod.
• Do not operate wireless equipment without an appropriate
termination.
• Do not work directly in front of energized antenna. Prior to
working on the antenna or RF assembly, ensure that the RF
assembly is not radiating energy. When power is applied to
the RF assembly and antenna, power precautions must be
taken to avoid placing any part of the human body in front of
the antenna.
• The outdoor equipment must be properly grounded to provide
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock.
For installations in the USA, refer to Articles 810830 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA #70, for information
with respect to proper grounding and applicable lightning
protection for DC cables. For installations in all other
countries, implement protection in accordance with the safety
standards and regulatory requirements of the country where
the equipment is to be installed.
• Do not install or operate this equipment in the presence of
flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical
instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite
safety hazard.
• This product is designed to withstand moisture conditions
typically encountered when installed outdoors. This is not
designed for operation under water.
• This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the unit or in manual.

4 PPC-10G Overview
The РРС-10G wireless link is intended for full duplex 10 Gigabit
Ethernet radio comm unication between two locations. It is comprised
of two subscriber transceivers, each operating under line-of-sight
conditions at working frequencies within the 71/86 GHz or
40.5-43.5GHz radio bands.
This link is intended for point-to-point digital communications
applications such as 4G/LTE/5G Mobile Backhaul, Corporate
Campus Networks, IPT V, and Wireless ISP back bone s. It is designed
to wirelessly interconnect WAN/LAN segments that are located at
sites with no fixed line broadband connection. Such sites typically
contain landscap e or i ndus t rial b ar riers , or strict ecological restrictions
for ground cable trenching, like national parks, rivers, lakes,
airport/railway areas, private land, etc.
PPC-10G is available i n either licensed 40.5-43.5 G Hz (Q-band) or
lightly licensed 71/86 GHz (E-band) frequency formats. The radios
are equipped with 60 cm (2 ft.) antennas by default; however,
smaller antenna sizes ar e also available. The P PC-10G is normally
mounted in a rooftop or tower location, and contains slots for
SFP/SFP+ modules to connect to a LAN/WAN network.
The ELVA-1 PPC-10G is a fully-outdoor radio link, designed for
temperature variations between -50°C(-50F) and +65°C(150F), and
humidity up to 100%. T he reliable o perating dist ance is up to 10 km
(6 mi) for link s equipped wi th 60 cm antennas . This distance is valid
for regions like North America or continental Europe. For regions
with clear weather year-round, like the Middle East, the distance
would be much longer.
4.1 PPC-10G Features
• Frequency band: 40.5-43.5 GHz or 71-76/81-86 GHz
• SNMP v.1; v.2; v.3; MIB-II and DOK Ent er pris e MIB; WEB
• True Full Duplex Operation
• Hitless adaptive bandwidth, coding and modulation
• IEEE 1588v2, SyncE
• Secure communication due to the difficulty of intercepting the link’s
laser-like beam transmission in free air without detection
• Solid reliability with Fiber-like Performance
• Easily installed, zero-footprint
• Compact Cassegrain type antennas
• Quasi-optical (laser-like) millimeter wave propagation
• EMI interference free

5 Package Contents
The PPC-10G equipment will arrive in 3 boxes (photo at left), the
sizes of which will depend on requested antenna diameter.
Two of the boxes will cont ain the antennas a nd mounting/alignment
brackets, and the other box will contain two transceivers and
accessories (cables, connectors, tools, etc.).
Each antenna box will contain one antenna, an anten na cover and a
mounting/alignment bracket. Depending on the antenna
configuration, the alignment bracket could already be mounted to
the anten na as a complete unit (below, lef t photo) or be enc losed in
the box as separate accessory package (below, right photo).
If the alignment bracket is enclosed in a separate accessory
package, it must be assembled and mounted to antenna in
accordance with the printed manual that is enclosed in the box.
The box with transceiver s contains 3 smaller boxes ins ide. Two of
them contain transceivers (below, left photo) and one with doubled
kit of power units, cables, sockets, tools, attenuation m eter (below,
right photo).
The factory recommends that the shipping boxes and packing
materials be r etained by the customer at least for the length of the
warranty (12 months), or longer.

6 Site Preparation
The PPC-10G mm-wave wireless link requires a c lear Line-of-Sight
(LOS) for proper operat ion. That means that no obstacles, s uch as
trees, buildings, chim neys, etc. can obstruct th e LOS path between
the transceivers. Moreover, no obstacles should be located in the
vicinity of the signal propagation line (inside the first Fresnel zone).
Site planning should inc lude an investigation into futu re construction
that would block the LOS path, and other long term incremental
obstructions such as growing trees.
Because the link distances are usually within 10 km obstructions in
the path can easily be identified using binoculars. It is important to
understand that the Line-of-Sight is not just a thin line but more
closely resembles a cone. To avoid si gna l d egradation within th e F irs t
Fresnel Zone, no obstacles should be located within a 1-4.5 meter
(1.2-14.7 ft.) radius around the center axis of the Line-of-Sight.
6.1 Path planning
Use Google Maps or another geograph ical locating tool to obta in the
exact distance between the proposed transceiver installation points.
Contact your ELVA-1 representative to obtain the exact attenuation
value for the transc eiver distance obtained above. T his value will be
your “passport” reference value on the attenuation meters when
conducting the final antenna alignment.
6.2 Minimum Clearance for Fresnel zone
There must be no obstructions between the antennas in the so-called
first Fresnel zone. An y obst ruc tion in the first Fresnel zone will corrupt
the antenna pattern. In practice, the antenna should be m ounted on
the edge of a roof or on a mast, so it propaga tes the signal directly
into free space.
