REPORT NO: 11U13729-1 DATE: APRIL 14, 2011 EUT: CDMA+ WIMAX + WIFI MOBILE HOT SPOT FCC ID: N7N-MHS802 5. EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST 5.1. DESCRIPTION OF EUT The EUT is a CDMA + WiMax + WiFi mobile Hot Spot router The WiMax radio module is manufactured by Sierra Wireless. 5.2. DESCRIPTION OF CLASS II PERMISSIVE CHANGE The major change filed under this application is adding an external desktop cradle with 6dBi peak gain antennas. 5.3. MAXIMUM RF CONDUCTED OUTPUT POWER The test measurement passed within ± 0.5dBm of the original output power. 5.4. DESCRIPTION OF AVAILABLE ANTENNAS The radio utilizes 2 integral antennas for diversity, antenna 1 and antenna 2, with a maximum peak gain of 6dBi. 5.5. SOFTWARE AND FIRMWARE The test utility software used during testing was X350 VSG Beceem Diagnostic Control Panel Version 4.00.00. 5.6. WORST-CASE CONFIGURATION AND MODE The worst-case channel is determined as the channel with the highest output power. To determine the worst case on 16QAM and QPSK on both 5MHz and 10MHz bandwidth, the EIRP were measured to find the highest power, the result is that both QPSK on 5MHz and 10MHz is considered to be the worst case.
