1.0: Attestation Statement of Compliance

The Cisco Systems 2.4GHz WLAN Radio PCIe card, 802.11 b/g
P/N: 73-15453-03 has been evaluated for Maximum Permissible Exposure in compliance with
47 Code of Federal Regulations 2.1093. The evaluation was in accordance with methodology
as referenced in FCC Bulletin OET 65C (rev 01-01) by Compliance Certification Services
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 # 1261389.

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 device is pole
mounted. The device is high enough that it is not accessible by the general public

This analysis also complies with the requirements stated in Industry Canada RSS-102 as well as
the applicable Australian and New Zealand regulations.

Only the following case scenario was used which are:
2.4GHz WLAN Module : FCC ID: LDKAGORA0916 , IC : 2461B-AGORA0916

Output power listed is conducted. The antenna(s) used for this device must be installed to
provide a separation distance of at least 20 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 20cm (8 inches) from the antenna.

NOTE 1: See Section 1 for discussion of exposure categories.

NOTE 2: The averaging time for General Population/Uncontrolled exposure to fixed transmitters is
        not applicable for mobile and portable transmitters. See 47 CFR §§2.1091 and 2.1093 on
        source-based time-averaging requirements for mobile and portable transmitters.




5.0 Calculations
The Power Density (mW/cm2) is calculated as follows:

S = PG(Duty Cycle) / 4πR2                    (Equation 1)


 Solve for R


             !" !"#$  !"!#$
R= sqrt  (                    )              (Equation 2)
                  !"  !



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 relative to an isotropic radiator
R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna (appropriate units, e.g., cm)
