1. Assessment
This RF Exposure evaluation report provides information about compliance of the below identified device with
the RF Exposure limits for mobile devices as defined in FCC CFR Part 1 (1.1307 &1.1310), Part 2 (2.1091), and
IC standard RSS-102, under given conditions (measured or rated RF output power, antenna gain, distance
towards human body of more than 20cm and multiple transmitter information as presented by the applicant). In
addition, maximum antenna gain or minimum distance towards the human body is calculated respectively, where
relevant.

The device meets the limits as stipulated by the above given FCC rule parts based on available specifications.

    Radiotelephone Service pursuant to part 22 of this chapter; the Personal Communications Services pursuant to part
    24 of this chapter; the Satellite Communications Services pursuant to part 25 of this chapter; the Miscellaneous
    Wireless Communications Services pursuant to part 27 of this chapter; the Maritime Services (ship earth station
    devices only) pursuant to part 80 of this chapter; the Specialized Mobile Radio Service, and the 3650 MHz Wireless
    Broadband Service pursuant to part 90 of this chapter; and the Citizens Broadband Radio Service pursuant to part 96
    of this chapter are subject to routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure prior to equipment authorization or
    use if:
    (i) They operate at frequencies of 1.5 GHz or below and their effective radiated power (ERP) is 1.5 watts or more, or
    (ii) They operate at frequencies above 1.5 GHz and their ERP is 3 watts or more.


    4.4. Exemption Limits for Routine Evaluation — RF Exposure Evaluation RSS-102

    RF exposure evaluation is required if the separation distance between the user and/or bystander and the device’s
    radiating element is greater than 20 cm, except when the device operates as follows:

    •    At or above 48 MHz and below 300 MHz and the source-based, time-averaged maximum e.i.r.p. of the device is
         equal to or less than 0.6 W (adjusted for tune-up tolerance);
    •    At or above 300 MHz and below 6 GHz and the source-based, time-averaged maximum e.i.r.p. of the device is
         equal to or less than 1.31 x 10-2 ƒ0.6834 W (adjusted for tune-up tolerance), where ƒ is in MHz;

    4.5. RF Exposure Estimation (MPE Estimation)

Having available the source based average output power and peak antenna gain or the ERP/EIRP of the specified device
and for a known minimum distance of its radiating structures from the body of persons according to its use cases (at least
20cm) the power density at that distance can be estimated by the following formula for plane-wave equivalent conditions
(far-field conditions), when ground reflection is neglected.

Where: S = power density (mW/cm2 or W/m2)
       P = power input to the antenna (mW or W)
       G = power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator
       R = distance to the centre of radiation of the antenna (cm or m)
