3.65GHz Spectrum – General

Background• 3.65GHz is licensed under the FCC Part 90

• Non-exclusive, ‘lightly licensed’ band– All locations of APs and SMs must be registered in FCC database

– No priority given to “first-in” or incumbent operators

– Competing operators must coordinate

– License is nation-wide and good for 10 years

• Power is limited to 1W/MHz EIRP• Power is limited to 1W/MHz EIRP– PMP320 AP is considered a fixed base station

– PMP320 SM is considered a fixed end point

• Divided into two sub-bands– Lower 25MHz is for restricted protocols

– Use of full 50MHz (3650 to 3700) is for unrestricted protocols

• Exclusion areas are defined around certain fixed satellite areas and government locations– Agreement from license holders required before operating in these areas

3.65GHz Spectrum – Power

Limits• Power is limited based on channel bandwidth and application

– PMP320 is categorized as base station and fixed stations (not mobile station)

– Power is limited to 1W per MHz maximum while staying below the required noise mask limits

– Refer to PMP320 Administration and Configuration Guide for instructions on setting the transmit power on the Access Point

– Assumes use of PMP320 90-degree sector and SM integrated antennas – Assumes use of PMP320 90-degree sector and SM integrated antennas

– PMP320 AP has 2 transmitters (values below are for each transmitter)

• Transmit Power Limits

– per transmitter as set in AP configuration settings

– 10MHz channel: 19.91 dBm



– 3.5MHz channel: 15.33 dBm

3.65GHz Spectrum – Exclusion

Areas• Operation in the areas indicated below require additional written

agreement from grandfathered license holders

3.65GHz Spectrum – Upper and Lower

25MHz

• 3.65GHz band is divided into two sub-bands

– PMP320 AP and SM is licensed to operate in both sub-bands

– The PMP320 connectorized SM is only licensed to operate in the lower 25MHz. Upper

25Mhz application is in progress.

• 3.65 to 3.675GHz can use ‘restricted’ protocols only (lower 25Mhz)

– PMP320 is licensed to operate restricted protocol only in lower 25MHz.

When registering on the FCC web-site and selecting a lower 25MHz center frequency, – When registering on the FCC web-site and selecting a lower 25MHz center frequency,

the operator must select restricted protocol.

• 3.65 to 3.7GHz requires ‘unrestricted’ protocol (upper 25Mhz)

– Systems must detect the presence of other systems

– If detected, system must go silent to allow competing system access to spectrum

– PMP320 will reset AP and re-register all SMs when alternative system is detected

– PMP320 is licensed to operate with the un-restricted protocol only in upper 25MHz.

– When registering on the FCC web-site and selecting an upper 25MHz center frequency,

the operator must select restricted protocol.

Step 3: Registering Radio Locations – Site

Data• ASR applies if the Antenna Site has previously been registered.

• Site Name – free text convenient name to identify site

• AMSL – Elevation of site Above Mean Sea Level

• AGL – Height Above Ground Level

• without Appurtenances = structure only
