This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment

may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction

manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or

modification is made.

The head end unit must always be connected to the Base Station using a direct cabled connection.

This system has not been approved for use with a wireless connection via server antenna to the base

station.

Antennas must be installed in accordance with FCC 27.50. With 17dBi gain antennas the height of the

antenna above average terrain (HAAT) must not exceed 915m. For difference gain antennas refer to the

relevant rules.

development)

Main ROU can support 700MHz, 850MHz, 1900MHz and 2100MHz, Sub ROU can support 2300MHz and

2500MHz signal.

4.1.1 Functional Specification

SIERRA meets the following features and performance features, the details are not specifically mentioned shall

follow functional and performance requirements of “3GPP TS25.1 / TS25.104”, “3GPP TS25.1 / TS25.106”, “3GPP TS25.1 / TS36.104”.

SIERRA incorporates the following basic functional requirements.

1) MHU is connected with ROUs by optical cable for RF (wired) and ROU shall be installed and operated at

the shade area. LTE, Cellular, PCS, AWS signal transmission between 2 devices will operate through Single-

mode optical fiber. (Optic: supportable for 5.7Gbps)

2) The radio quality of LTE, Cellular, PCS, AWS serviced by SIERRA is the same level as the radio quality of the

base station.

3) When the mobile terminal enters the adjacent base station, SIERRA supports a continuous call (hand

over) of the terminal.
