1.0: Attestation Statement of Compliance

The Cisco AIR-AP3802E-B-K9, 802.11AC radio has been evaluated for Maximum Permissible
Exposure in compliance with 47 Code of Federal Regulations 2.1091. The evaluation was in
accordance with methodology as referenced in FCC Bulletin OET 65C (rev 01-01) along with KDB
447498 D01 General RF Exposure Guidance. This report serves as the additional technical analysis
of the Cisco radio modules

This study addresses the addition of an additional pair of transmitters using the data derived in the
afore mentioned report #
2.4GHz DTS report EDCS-1550039
5GHz UNII-1 report EDCS-1550042, 1550800
5GHz UNII-2 report EDCS- 1550228, 1550804
5GHz UNII-2ext reports EDCS-1550437, 1550808
5GHz UNII-3 report EDCS-1550258, 1550815

The limits used for this evaluation are in line with the recommendations of the World Health
Organizations (WHO) International Committee on Non Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) as
well as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C95.1.

The limits chosen are of General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure.


the following case scenarios were used :
2.4GHz WLAN
5GHz WLAN
5GHz XOR WLAN

This device must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 30 cm from all
persons. Installers must be provided with antenna installation and transmitter operating conditions
for satisfying RF exposure compliance.

Based on the study this case scenario, the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure and the
minimum recommended distance is around 30cm (12 inches) from the antenna.

5.0     Calculations

      Given
                   E=√(30*P*G)/d and     S=E^2/3770
      where
                   E=Field Strength in Volts/meter
                   P=Power in Watts
                   G=Numeric Antenna Gain
                   d=Distance in meters
                   S=Power Density in mW/cm^2

      Combine equations and rearrange the terms to express the distance as a function of the remaining
      variables:
                 d=√((30*P*G)/(3770*S))

      Changing to units of power in mW and distance in cm, using:
                  P(mW)=P(W)/1000       d(cm)=100*d(m)
      yields
                  d=100*√((30*(P/1000)*G)/(3770*S))
                  d=0.282*√(P*G/S)
      where
                  d=Distance in cm
                  P=Power in mW
                  G=Numeric Antenna Gain
                  S=Power Density in mW/cm^2

      Substituting the logarithmic form of power and gain using:
                    P(mW)=10^(P(dBm)/10)         G(numeric)=10^(G(dBi)/10)
      yields
                    d=0.282*10^((P+G)/20)/√S                     Equation (1)
      and
                    s=((0.282*10^((P+G)/20))/d)^2                Equation (2)
      where
                    d=MPE distance in cm
                    P=Power in dBm
                    G=Antenna Gain in dBi
                    S=Power Density in mW/cm^2


EDCS- 1550850


6.0   Results

         Equation (1) and the measured peak power are used to calculate the MPE distance. Note that for mobile or
         fixed location transmitters such as an access point, the minimum separation distance is 30 cm even if the
         calculations indicate that the MPE distance may be less.

         S=1mW/cm^2 maximum. The highest supported antenna gain is 6 dBi (12dBi with 4Tx beam forming). Using
         the peak power levels recorded in the test report along with Equation 1 above, the MPE distances are calculated
         as follows.

To maintain compliance, installations will assure a separation distance of at least 30cm.

Using Equation 2, the MPE levels (s) at 30 cm are calculated as follows:

Calculations with additional transmitters


Scenerio 1 :
2.4GHz WLAN ( Highest power)
5GHz only WLAN (Highest power)

 TX1 + TX2 = % of standard
 ( 0.19) + (0.27) = 0.46

 D (estimate) = 30* %

D = 20.5cm which is less than 30cm recommended

The configuration above co-location calculation is for General Population/Uncontrolled exposure. The minimum
distance recommended is 30cm (12 inches) when all antennas are within 30cm of each other.


Scenerio 2 :
5GHz only WLAN (Highest power)
5GHz XOR WLAN (Highest power)

 TX2 +TX3 = % of standard
 ( 0.27) + (0.33) = 0.60

 D (estimate) = 30* %

D = 23.3cm which is less than 30cm recommended

The configuration above co-location calculation is for General Population/Uncontrolled exposure. The minimum
distance recommended is 30cm (12 inches) when all antennas are within 30cm of each other.
