Part 15 TV Band Device Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the rules for TV bands devices, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

(1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
(2) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
(3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
(4) Consult the manufacturer, dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.


Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.
To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, for fixed configurations, a separation
distance of at least 40 cm must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons.

This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

1. Introduction

1.1. Purpose

The purpose of the manual is to provide a quick guide with appropriate information and procedures
on how to setup and operate the WhizMesh radio to establish a TV White Space (TVWS) radio link.


1.2. Product Overview

WhizMesh is a wireless communication solution based on dynamic sharing technology that make
use of the underutilized TV Band, also known as TVWS. WhizMesh are designed to provide long
range and good penetration characteristic which can lower down the cost of network and increase
the speed of deployment. It supports mesh topology on top of the traditional point-to-point and point-
to-multi-point (star) topologies.
