About this Document
This document is a product manual for the B2XH068AA-A 2.6 GHz WCS band Backhaul Radio
Module 1, FCC ID RAR 20007001. The manual outlines the radio modules limitations on use in
BelAir Networks products marketed or offered for sale. An overview of BelAir Networks products
is included with information on the module installation in these products. Specifications on
approved antennas to be used with the module are provided This manual provides an outline on
the module installation , limitations of use, location of FCC label information , regulatory
statements and RF exposure minimum safety requirements.
Introduction
The B2XH068AA-A (hereafter referred to as “the module”) is a 2.6 GHz WCS band radio module
compatible with the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard for WIMAX operation. The module contains a
complete 802.16 radio and Medium Access Control protocol engine.
The module is not intended for stand-alone operation. It will only be marketed as a complete
product, in conjunction with a package, DC power supply and antenna (hereafter referred to as “the
product” or the “final product”).
Since the module has a BelAir networks proprietary digital interface, it cannot be directly connected
to any standard telecommunications or computer devices. It can only be used with final products
designed and authorized specifically for that purpose.
The WiMAX Radio Module (WRM, RAR20007001) is a BelAir Networks radio module designed to
operate in the 2.6 GHz frequency bands (BRS / EBS bands) using the IEEE 802.16-2004 (Wireless
MAN-OFDM physical layer) (WiMAX) industry standard.
The module will operate under FCC part 27 covering a portion of the frequencies in the UBS band
segment under part 27.5, specifically BRS channels E1 to G3 post transition frequency
assignments.
The WRM provides WiMAX backhaul support for the BelAir200 and BelAir100 wireless mesh
nodes with the capacity to deliver up to 40 Mbps of dedicated data throughput. The WRM supports
point-to-point topologies (fixed applications) and is ideal for creating dedicated connections to other
BelAir wireless mesh nodes in a network .
An ideal deployment for the WRM is to configure it with BelAir200 nodes and/or BelAir100 nodes
Page 3 of 21
WRM Product Manual – 2.6 GHz WCS Band Radio Module
to provide last mile access for cellular backhaul applications. The WRM operates in the licensed 2.6
GHz frequency bands, and the added capacity that WiMAX (IEEE 802.16d) delivers to the network
is ideal for critical applications such as voice traffic.

Installation
Products which contain B2XH068AA-A shall only be installed by professional installers trained by
BelAir Networks or its authorized agents. In addition to normal installation procedures and good
installation practice, professional installers are responsible to ensure that:
1. Only an approved antenna (see above) is connected to the module, and,
2. The antenna is mounted in such a manner and in such a location that access to the antenna by
the general population is minimized. Access during normal operation to the antenna by the
general population should be limited to distances as outlined in the Table 2 in the section on
RF Exposure Statement.
Adherence to these rules by the professional installer is mandatory. See full installation procedures
for the particular product for details.
