GoBeam 5100/6100 Installation Guide 1

Introduction

GoBeam 5100/6100 are GoNet Systems, carrier-grade access
points offering superior range and capacity by combining GoNet
Systems MIMO xRF™ beam-forming and the latest 802.11n Wi-Fi
standard.

GoBeam 5100/6100 are effective solutions for cellular operators
deploying large scale mobile data offload and Wi-Fi access
applications in dense urban conditions. The GoBeam family of
access points is designed to enable mix & match according to the
specific deployment needs.

Interference mitigation that includes patented 3G & Wi-Fi channel
filter enables the GoBeam 5100/6100 access points to be co­located with 3G BTS without performance degradation for the AP
or the 3G BST. GoBeam access points deliver a winning business
value by enabling cellular operators to leverage their existing
network assets and reduce CAPEX and OPEX.

The GoBeam 6100 provides high-performance from rooftop and
pole mounting while the GoBeam 5100 delivers cost-effective
Omni-directional, street-level coverage.

• GoBeam 6100 - 120° sector access point

• GoBeam 5100 – 360° Omni access point

GoBeam Model Numbers

GoBeam model numbers are marked with a suffix according to

compliance standards. Table 1 summarizes the different
suffixes. For example the J in GoBeam 5100J indicates Japan.

GoBeam 5100/6100 Safety Information

RF Exposure

This equipment complies with the FCC RF radiation exposure

limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This
equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum
distance of 20cm between the radiator and any part of your
body.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be fixed-

mounted on indoor or outdoor permanent structures with a
separation distance indoor network device.

The antennas used have an N-Type connector in compliance

with FCC 15.203 Antenna Requirement.

The purpose of the lightning protection is to protect people and
equipment located indoors from lightning that might strike the
GoBeam 5100/6100 or its outdoor cables. Therefore, the lightning
protector device should be installed indoors, as close as possible
to the point where the cables enter the building.

The lightning protector can also be installed outdoors, as long as
the cables that go from the lightning protector to the indoors are
well protected from lightning between the box and the building
entrance.

Verify that you have shared grounding. GoNet Systems offers a
lightning protector that can be ordered separately.

Installation Codes

This device must be installed according to the latest version of the
country national electrical codes. For North America, equipment
must be installed in accordance to the applicable requirements in
the US National Electrical Code and the Canadian Electrical Code.

The device must be professionally installed
