RV50 Coaxial Cable Run

1

Looking at the Sierra Wireless Airlink RV50, we have to run 350 ft of coaxial cable for the Airlink RV50s antenna to reach day light. I am trying to pick the correct coaxial cable and antenna to use in my scenario.
Is the frequency use with Verizon 1800 MHz?
What is the transmitter power dbm of the RV50?
Thanks

Hi @howieli,

What is the radio technology and radio module that your RV50 is using? (About radio module, please go to ACEmanager: Status > About > Radio Module Type. About radio technology, please go to ACEmanager: Status > Cellular > Radio Technology).

To check transmitter power, please refer to the section Radio Module Conducted Transmit Power on the Hardware User Guide (pages 54->56). To check frequency, please refer to the section Radio Frequency Bands on the Hardware User Guide (pages 48->54) and the section Verizon Wireless on the Software Configuration Guide (page 551).

Good Day @jerdung

I revised my cable length from 320 ft to 240 ft, but I was reminded to pull two coaxial cables for LTE.

Using two LMR-400-DB my loss on each cable is 15.2 dB.

Assume using a 10 DB Dual Polarized MIMO Omni Antenna

The RV50 put out 23 dbm – 15.2 db + 10 dB = 17.8 db

Am I doing this right? On paper, do you think it should work?
