1.2 Maximum Permissible Exposure Calculation §15.247 Operation within the bands 902-928 MHz, 2400-2483.5 MHz, and 5725-5850 MHz. (i) Systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission's guidelines. See §1.1307(b)(1) of this chapter. §1.1307 Actions that may have a significant environmental effect, for which Environmental Assessments (EAs) must be prepared. (b)(1) The appropriate exposure limits in §§1.1310 and 2.1093 of this chapter are generally applicable to all facilities, operations and transmitters regulated by the Commission. §1.1310 Radiofrequency radiation exposure limits. (2) At operating frequencies less than or equal to 6 GHz, the limits for maximum permissible exposure (MPE), derived from whole-body SAR limits and listed in Table 1 of paragraph (e) of this section, may be used instead of whole-body SAR limits as set forth in paragraph (a) through (c) of this section to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to RF radiation as specified in §1.1307(b), except for portable devices as defined in §2.1093 as these evaluations shall be performed according to the SAR provisions in §2.1093 of this chapter. (4) Both the MPE limits listed in Table 1 of paragraph (e) of this section and the SAR limits as set forth in paragraph (a) through (c) of this section and in §2.1093 of this chapter are for continuous exposure, that is, for indefinite time periods. Exposure levels higher than the limits are permitted for shorter exposure times, as long as the average exposure over the specified averaging time in Table 1 is less than the limits. Detailed information on our policies regarding procedures for evaluating compliance with all of these exposure limits can be found in the FCC's OET Bulletin 65, “Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields,” and in supplements to Bulletin 65, all available at the FCC's Internet Web site: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety §2.1093 Radiofrequency radiation exposure evaluation: portable devices. (b) For purposes of this section, a portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.

S = __PG__ (3) 4πR2 where: S = Power Density (in appropriate units, e.g., mW/cm2) P = Power input to the antenna (in appropriate units, e.g., mW) G = Power Gain of the antenna in the direction of interest to an isotropic radiator R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna (appropriate units, e.g., cm) or: S = __EIRP__ (4) 4πR2 where: EIRP = equivalent (or effective) isotropically radiated power 1.3 Maximum Permissible Exposure Calculation Results Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) = Antenna Power Output (dBW) + antenna gain (dBi) or Antenna Power Output (Watts) X numeric gain Antenna Power Antenna Gain EIRP dBW dBi dBW -29.17 3 -26.17 Antenna Power Antenna Gain EIRP Watts numeric Watts .001210 1.9953 .002415 The value R, distance to the center of radiation of the antenna, is 20 cm. S = __EIRP__ = _ 2.415 mW__ = .0004805 mW/cm2 4πR2 4π(20)2 Results: The calculated Power Density of the measurements for antenna 0 and antenna 1 of the ARRIS Model IP815 Set Top Box is 0.0004805 mW/cm2. This complies with the limit of 1.0 mW/cm2 from Table 1(B) of 47 CFR Part 1.1310. Therefore, no exposure evaluation is required.
