Deployment Requirements

This section outlines the site, power, backhaul, and environmental requirements for deploying Karrier One Cellular radios, specifically the FW-600 and FW-300i.

Meeting these requirements ensures optimal signal performance, high network uptime, and eligibility for rewards through the Karrier One Dashboard.

---

📦 Supported Models

Model	Coverage Type	Use Case
FW-600	180° sector-wide	Commercial zones, campuses, rooftops
FW-300i	60° directional	Urban streetscapes, plazas, venues

---

📍 Mounting & Physical Requirements

Ensure that the mounting surface or pole:

• Is stable and rated for outdoor equipment

• Can support the weight and wind load of the radio

• Allows for clear line of sight (LOS) to the target coverage area

Mounting Recommendations:

• FW-600: 8–10 meters elevation, rooftop or pole

• FW-300i: 6–8 meters elevation, wall or pole facing target zone

⚡ Power Requirements

Model	Power Type	Typical Power Draw	Surge Protection Required
FW-600	PoE++ (802.3bt)	~50–60W	✅
FW-300i	PoE+ (802.3at)	~30–35W	✅

⚠️ Use shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet for all connections and install in-line surge arrestors on long cable runs. Radios must be properly grounded to prevent electrical damage or safety hazards.

🌐 Backhaul Requirements

Model	Ethernet Port	Recommended Uplink	Min Bandwidth	Max Latency
FW-600	1 x 1GbE or 2.5GbE	Fiber or enterprise wireless	100 Mbps sym.	≤ 50ms
FW-300i	1 x 1GbE	1GbE fixed line	50 Mbps sym.	≤ 70ms

Ensure stable, low-latency connectivity. Avoid using basic residential connections unless business-grade quality is guaranteed.

🌍 Environmental Notes

To ensure consistent long-term performance:

• Maintain clear LOS to coverage areas

• Avoid mounting near dense foliage, metal walls, or glass structures

• Ensure good airflow around the unit (avoid enclosed boxes or vents)

• Radios are outdoor-rated, but avoid corrosive environments (e.g., salt spray, chemicals) unless proper weather sealing is in place
