Further, all installations of the Model I WLL Trailblazer System will require
topographic analysis, site survey and link budget calculation. Therefore,
the system will require a CWT trained professional to do the installation.
Marketing and sales channels
CWT DOES NOT sell the Trailblazer PRO direct to end users. I WLL Trail-
blazer PRO System will be sold only to CWT's Authorized Resellers.
Those authorized resellers are technically trained by CWT's Engineers
periodically and must follow the rules set by CWT. The Trailblazer PRO
system is designed for Long Range (15-35 miles) applications and it in-
volves a complicated mandatory site survey, roof top mast installation,
high gain antennas, accurate antenna alignment, etc. Those activities can
be done ONLY by professional installers that are familiar with the FCC
regulations. CWT does not sell the Trailblazer PRO in the consumer busi-
ness at all. We have no resellers in this market and we do not advertise in
consumers based publications or attend consumer oriented trade shows.
The system will be advertised in technical trade shows and magazines.
Conclusion
CWT requires professional installation for the Model I WLL Trailblazer
System in-order to provide the highest reliable system possible. We
therefore fully support the mandate for professional installation of our
complete system.
Rough alignment. This is usually easier then it would seem. Since it is a
prerequisite that you have line of sight between the two points, here are
several ideas that have worked for installers:
(1) If you can see the other unit, simply aim the units towards each other.
(2) During midday, use a mirror or compact disk to create a reflection ap-
proximately towards the other site while someone watches for the flash.
(3) Plot out the path on a topography map and set the antennas using a
compass.
How close in alignment do they need to be? +/- 10 degrees will be
adequate for most paths using the 14 dB gain antenna. Certain paths that
have a low fade margin may require a more accurate setting.
Final alignment. This is usually done by connecting a standard cordless
phone to the FXS or FXO end, and then give a best guess to the direc-
tion, establish a connection and rotating the antennas both right and left
noting the points where the signal disappears, (assuming that it does) and
then centering them between those cutoff points.
