### G100 Features

As a two-carrier AP, the G100 hardware unit contains two separate APs inside one shell. Having two carriers provides versatile options in how you operate the G100. The available operating modes are described in the next section.

The G100’s primary cell (Pcell) is referred to as Cell 1. The secondary cell (Scell) is referred to as Cell 2. Each G100 comes pre-configured to simplify the installation.

The two-carrier G100 AP can operate in one of several modes:

* Single Carrier (SC) – SC describes a scenario where the operator wishes to use only one of the two available cells in the unit. This may be necessary for operators who have limited licensed spectrum or who are planning to use the second carrier later as their network grows. In SC mode, only the primary cell (Pcell), aka Cell 1, is used.
* Dual Carrier (DC)/split mode – DC (split sector) mode enables the operator to run the G100 as two independent carriers for split sector coverage.
* Carrier Aggregation (CA) mode – CA provides the ability to aggregate channels from across the full CBRS range, even channels that are not adjacent. Using CA essentially doubles the downlink capacity when all users have Cat6/7 or later CPE.
* Citizens Broadband Radio System (CBRS) Spectrum Access System (SAS) – CBRS SAS is a multi-vendor Spectrum Access System database where CBRS spectrum use is managed dynamically across operators. The CBRS band covers 3.55–3.70 GHz. Operators must sign up with a SAS provider, which handles the dynamic frequency assignment and release process. GXC provides FCC Part 96 certified APs, including the G100, and Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs) that operate within the Part 96 rules for CBRS.

In addition to the G100’s two carriers and multiple operating modes, the following is a list of other key features. The G100 datasheet providing technical specifications is available from GXC.

* Supports standard LTE TDD band 48
* Complies with 3GPP Release 15 standards
* Supports 5/10/15/20 MHz bandwidth per carrier
* Provides excellent Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) coverage
* Peak rate is a configurable parameter using special Subframe Assignment (SA):
  * 2x20 MHz, per carrier:
    * SA1: DL 105 Mbps, UL 28 Mbps
    * SA2: DL 145 Mbps, UL 14 Mbps
    * SA6: DL 85 Mbps, UL 35 Mbps
  * 2x10 MHz, per carrier:
    * SA1: DL 51 Mbps, UL 14 Mbps
    * SA2: DL 70 Mbps, UL 7 Mbps
    * SA6: DL 42 Mbps, UL 17 Mbps
* Supports 96 concurrent users per carrier \[x2 carriers (96+96) if operating in DC mode]
* Supports TR-069 network management interface
* Can be accessed via GUI-based local and remote Web management
* Connects to any IP-based backhaul, including public transmission

### Installation Preparation - Location and Environment

The G100 AP can be installed on a ceiling or a wall. For the best signal coverage, place the unit in an unobstructed location. In addition to network planning, when determining where to place the G100 AP, you need to consider the best location for signal coverage. Avoid locating the AP in areas where there may be extreme temperatures, harmful gases, unstable voltages, volatile vibrations, loud noises, flames, explosives, or electromagnetic interference (e.g., large radar stations, transformer substations). Avoid areas prone to impounded water, soaking, leakage, or condensation. The following table lists the environmental specifications.

### Configure Basic Parameters

When first installing and testing the AP, GXC recommends configuring the primary cell (Pcell)/Cell 1 carrier settings (without enabling CA, DC, or SAS) for simple verification that the new AP is operational. Once it is confirmed to be operational, you can then refer to the appropriate configuration guide(s) for the operating mode you plan to use.

## Add and Manage G100 AP in the Onyx Portal

For detailed information on adding and managing G100 APs in the Onyx Portal interface, refer to *4G ONYX Portal Operations Guide > Manage Access Points*.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.gxc.io/hw/lte/4g-access-points/g100/g100-ap-hardware-installation-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
