Ultra-Link Processing™ - Access Point

Product Overview

Each Access Point supports tens of thousands of sensors and can simultaneously demodulate signals from up to 1000 sensors using a unique patented multiple access scheme. With 172 dB of total allowable path loss (FCC/IC regulatory regions) the ULP network can easily be deployed using a star topology configuration, overcoming the limitations of legacy wireless sensor networks (802.11, 802.15.4, 900 MHz FHSS) that require complicated mesh protocols to extend range or operate in a capacity limited simplex mode.

Enclosure Features

On-Ramp Wireless’ Ultra-Link Processing™ Access Point is housed in a rugged weatherproof enclosure that is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. Constructed of heavy gauge aluminum, it is designed for high temperature and corrosive environments. The AP can be mounted in a vertical or a horizontal orientation.

The lid interior features a channeled gasket that provides environmental protection. The lid is secured to the housing with retained stainless steel heavy duty screws. For maintenance purposes, the lid can be opened (150 degree opening angle) for easy part replacement, or completely removed to provide additional servicing options.

Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE)

A CAT5 PoE interface is used to split the Data and Power carried by a CAT5 cable to the internal equipment. The interface includes Lightning Protection and support for normal and reverse polarity POE equipment. To supply the required current to the equipment, the HyperLink BT-CAT5-P1-4848 power supply and injector kit should be used. Cisco® PoE equipment requires substitution of a BT-CAT5P1R4848 kit to supply 48 volt reverse polarity. An optional PoE interface surge protector can be added to add protection for a second CAT5 cable.

Lightning Protection

The PoE interface features built in lightning protection. This helps add an extra level of protection to PoE equipment installed in the enclosure. In addition, the unit can accept up to two optional bulkheadmount N-Type lightning protectors to protect the coaxial cable runs. An additional PoE interface can be purchased for use in the enclosure.

Antenna Parameters

 The FCC sets maximums transmit power limits. The AP’s maximum TX power capability is 30dBm.  Maximum allowable Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) for the professionally installed Access

Point 36 dBm (4 watt).

 The Access Point transmit output power is adjusted, if required as part of a professional installation,

using On-Ramp Wireless’ Network Management Software.

This device has been tested with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 9 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or having a gain greater than 9 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

Table 1 Typical Antennas, FCC configuration

Additional equivalent antennas from other manufactures may be substituted and then marketed with this equipment. Equivalent antennas must be of the same type (e.g. Omni-Directional) and must be of equal or less gain (9 dBi) than an antenna previously authorized under the same FCC ID, and must have similar in band and out of band characteristics.

The output power at the antenna input must be measured and adjusted according to FCC guidelines. This measurement accounts for AP transmit power and any losses in cables and connectors prior to the input. The transmit power at the antenna input plus the antenna gain must not exceed 36 dBm (4W). When using the 9dBi antenna the measured power at the antenna input must be 27 dBm or lower to meet this requirement. When the antenna gain exceeds 6dBi the measured transmit power at the antenna input must be measured and the transmit power at the Access Point must be set appropriately.

Example 1:

1. The antenna gain is 9 dBi

2. Output power at antenna input measured at 29 dBm (30 dBm AP transmit power - 1 dB of cable

loss)

3. EIRP = 29 dBm + 9 dBi = 38 dBm > 36 dBm requirement

4. What should the AP maximum power be set to so the installation is within the FCC maximum EIRP?

5. 38 dBm – 36 dBm = 2 dBm. Max power at AP should be 30 dBm – 2dBm = 28 dBm

When the antenna gain is less than or equal to 6 dBi the AP output power can be set at the full 30 dBm.

Example 2:

1. The antenna gain is 4 dBi

2. Output power at antenna input is 29 dBm (30 dBm AP transmit power – 1 dB of cable loss)

3. EIRP = 29dBm + 4 dBi = 33 dBm < 36 dBm

Page 12

Ultra-Link Processing™ - Access Point

To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (E.i.R.P.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.

The responsibility for staying within these power limits falls on the professional installer.
