RF Exposure Evaluation For FCC ID: 2AF6B-RAK724X

Refer user manual this device is a Outdoor LoRa Gateway, and this device was designed used in
Mobile devices that the minimum distance between human’s body is 20cm. Based on the 47CFR
2.1091, this device belongs to Mobile device. The definition of the category as following:

Mobile Derives:
CFR Title 47 §2.1091(b)
(b) For purposes of this section, a mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be
used in other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of
at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and the
body of the user or nearby persons.
FCC KDB 447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance v06 Limit

Devices operating in standalone mobile exposure conditions may contain a single transmitter or
multiple transmitters that do not transmit simultaneously. A minimum test separation distance ≥ 20 cm
is required between the antenna and radiating structures of the device and nearby persons to apply
mobile device exposure limits.        The distance must be fully supported by the operating and
installation configurations of the transmitter and its antenna(s), according to the source-based
time-averaged maximum power requirements of § 2.1091(d)(2). In cases where cable losses or
other attenuations are applied to determine compliance, the most conservative operating
configurations and exposure conditions must be evaluated. The minimum test separation distance
required for a device to comply with mobile exposure conditions must be clearly identified in the
installation and operating instructions, for all installation and exposure conditions, to enable users
and installers to comply with RF exposure requirements. For mobile devices that have the potential to
operate in portable device exposure conditions, similar to the configurations described in §
2.1091(d)(4), a KDB inquiry is required to determine the SAR test requirements for demonstrating
compliance.

When the categorical exclusion provision of § 2.1091(c) applies, the minimum test separation
distance may be estimated, when applicable, by simple calculations according to plane-wave
equivalent conditions, to ensure the transmitter and its antenna(s) can operate in manners that meet
or exceed the estimated distance. The source-based time-averaged maximum radiated power,
according to the maximum antenna gain, must be applied to calculate the field strength and power
density required to establish the minimum test separation distance.        When the estimated test
separation distance becomes overly conservative and does not support compliance, MPE
measurement or computational modeling may be used to determine the required minimum separation
distance.


According to FCC Part 1.1307, systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be
operated in a manner the ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy level in
excess of the commission’s guidelines.

                                                                         Zigbee
     WWAN
                       1850MHz ~ 1910MHz          0.2810                                        Pass
  (LTE Band2)
                                                                           0.3243
  2.4 G WLAN          2400MHz ~ 2483.5MHz         0.0223                                        Pass
      Lora              902MHz ~ 928MHz           0.0210                                        Pass


Note:
1. Σ(Power Density / Limit): This is a summation of [(power density for each transmitter/ antenna
   included in the simultaneous transmission)/ (corresponding MPE limit)], for WWAN + 2.4G WLAN
   + Lora.
2. WWAN, 2.4G WLAN and Lora can transmit simultaneously, the formula of calculated the MPE is
   CPD1 / LPD1 + CPD2 / LPD2 + ……etc. < 1
   CPD = Calculation power density
   LPD = Limit of power density
3. The worst-case situation is 0.3243, which is less than “1”. This confirmed that the device comply
   with FCC 1.1310 MPE limit.
4. The Outdoor LoRa Gateway work frequency range used is 1850 MHz ~ 1910 MHz, 1710 MHz ~
   1755 MHz, 824 MHz ~ 849 MHz, 699 MHz ~ 716 MHz, 777 MHz ~ 787 MHz, 2400 MHz ~ 2483.5
   MHz, 902 MHz ~ 928 MHz the result close to the limit by the above formula so, we select worst
   case power to calculate the exclusion power threshold.
5. More power list please refer to RF test report.



Conclusion:
RF exposure Evaluation Results: Compliance
