WRM Product Manual – 2.6 GHz WCS Band Radio Module
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

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.

General Conditions of Use
This manual is intended to supplement training provided by BelAir Networks or authorized parties.
The module B2XH068AA-A is only intended for use in BelAir Networks products and is not for
sale to the general public as a stand-alone module. Please read this entire document, including the
Regulatory Statements section before attempting to install or operate the module.
Warning:Any use of B2XH068AA-A in any manner which is not expressly specified within
this manual or specifically approved by BelAir Networks or its authorized agents will void the user’s
right to operate this module, and is expressly forbidden by BelAir Networks. This includes any
modification of the module, installation of the module in a configuration or used with an antenna
which is not expressly listed in this document or approved by BelAir Networks.
Installation into a Product
The module shall only be installed by a technician trained by BelAir Networks or its authorized
agents. It should only be installed into an approved product following all manufacturing and service
procedures for that product. Refer to the following sections outlining specific installation in BelAir
Networks products.
Module Service
The module is not intended as a field-serviceable unit. It contains no field-replaceable or fieldserviceable parts, or any external adjustable mechanisms. The module should only be serviced in a
manufacturing or service depot site approved by BelAir Networks or its authorized agents.
Country of Use
B2XH068AA-A is certified for use as an Intentional Radiator in the United States as device: FCC
ID: RAR20007001. Please read all regulatory statements at the end of this document before any
attempt to install or operate this module.
The module is only certified for operation in the United States. Before attempting to install and
operate this module in any other country, contact BelAir Networks for approval.

BelAir Networks products
List of Approved Final Products
The B2XH068AA-A module is only approved for
use in the following BelAir Networks products:
•BelAir200. See BelAir200 documentation
for complete manufacturing instructions.
•BelAir100. See BelAir documentation for
complete manufacturing instructions.
Operation of the module within the products
expressly listed above is required to ensure
compliance to all FCC regulations. Any
modification of the module, or its use in any
configuration not expressly listed above may
void the user’s right to operate this module.
The radio module is part of a multi radio system
in which the B2XH068AA-A is used for
Backhaul applications, for example backhauling
cellular signals. The concept is as shown in
figure 1.
A typical block diagram of a two radio
configuration using one module
( B2XH068AA-A) incorporated into a BelAir
Networks product is shown in figure 2. BelAir
Networks products incorporate other functional
blocks as shown, such as Line and Power
interface, battery back up and power
conditioning as well as an Access Radio.

B2XH068AA-A module installation into BA100 product
The module can be installed into three variants of the BA100 product, namely the BA100,
BA100C and BA100S. The BA100 product is capable of incorporating two radio modules, options
include two B2XH068AA-A ( FCC ID :RAR20007001) modules or one B2CH043AA-C ( FCC ID
:RAR20000003) module as well one B2XH068AA-A module.
BA100 and BA100C incorporating variants in available antennas and the BA100S is a strand
mount variant.
BA100 and BA100S variants pictures are shown in figure3 and figure 4, both are typically mounted
outside on hydro and light poles or hanging on a support wire in a strand mount application.
