E x t e r n a l An t e n n a s S p e c i f i c a t i o n s System Description H.2. WipLL 700 MHz The built-in antennas of all WipLL radios, except for WipLL 700 MHz, cover all frequencies in their respective frequency band. WipLL 700 MHz built-in antenna covers only Band C (i.e. 710 to 716 MHz, and 740 to 746 MHz) frequency band. Therefore, Airspan provides an external antenna for WipLL 700, allowing coverage of the entire 700 MHz band (698 to 746 MHz), including the licensed A and B bands used in USA.

E x t e r n a l An t e n n a s S p e c i f i c a t i o n s System Description Figure H-9: Frequency allocation in a four-sector Base Station Radio interference may occur between the BSRs operating in the upper frequency range (i.e., 742 MHz and 744 MHz) and the lower frequency range (i.e., 712 MHz and 714 MHz). To overcome this interference, a 1-meter vertical separation is recommended between the BSRs operating in the upper frequency and the BSRs operating in the lower frequency.
