6. RF EXPOSURE CLASSIFICATION

Systems operating under the provision of 47 CFR 1.1307(b)(1) shall be operated in a manner that ensures
that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the FCC guidelines.

The Cisco router platform will only be used with a separation of 20 centimeters or greater between the
antennas and the body of the user or nearby persons and can therefore be considered a mobile transmitter
per 47 CFR 2.1091(b).

7. EQUATIONS
The equations used are based on methods described in OET Bulletin 65 and appendices.

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 milliwatts/square centimeter

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

Changing to units of Power to mW and Distance to cm, using:
       P (mW) = P (W) / 1000 and
       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) and
        G (numeric) = 10 ^ (G (dBi) / 10)
yields
        d = 0.282 * 10 ^ ((P + G) / 20) / √ S
where
        d = MPE distance in cm
        P = Power in dBm
        G = Antenna Gain in dBi
        S = Power Density Limit in mW/cm^2

Rearranging terms to calculate the power density at a specific distance yields

        S = 0.0795 * 10 ^ ((P + G) / 10) / (d^2)

8. FCC LIMITS
    8.1.        MPE LIMITS

§1.1310 The criteria listed in Table 1 shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human
exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation as specified in §1.1307(b), except in the case of portable
devices which shall be evaluated according to the provisions of §2.1093 of this chapter.




    8.2.        CO-LOCATED MPE LIMITS

Per OET Bulletin 65, for frequency bands with the same MPE limits, the Power Densities produced by
each transmitter are summed. The summation must be under the limit for the band.

Per OET Bulletin 65, for frequency bands with different limits the Power Densities are calculated
separately for each band, divided by the limit for the band and the results are then summed. The
summation must be less than 1.

9. WORST CASE EVALUATIONS


    9.1.         CONTRIBUTION OF EACH TRANSMITTER

        9.2.2. THREE TRANSMITTER CONFIGURATOIN

The sum of the Fraction of the Limit for the GSM, CDMA, and a WLAN transmitter operating
simultaneously will exceed the fractional limit. Since power density is proportional to the inverse of the
distance squared, an estimate of the required distance can be made by the equation:

Destimated = 20 cm * (√ Fraction of the Limit)
