Silver Spring Networks Report No: 13PRO006 FCC ID: OWS-NIC42 IC: 5975A-NIC42 Model No.: NIC42 AC LINE CONDUCTED EMISSIONS TEST REPORT FOR A LOW POWER TRANSMITTER I. GENERAL INFORMATION Requirement: FCC Test Requirements: FCC Part 15 Applicant: Silver Spring Networks 575 Broadway Street Redwood City, CA 94063 FCC ID: OWS-NIC42 IC: 5975A-NIC42 Model No.: NIC42 II. DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST (EUT) The Silver Spring Networks (SSN) model NIC42 is an access point for electric power meter communications use. The radio incorporates a dual band 900 MHz/ 2.4 GHz frequency hopping mesh network radio. Test data for 900 MHz FHSS operation are provided in a separate report. III. TEST DATES AND TEST LOCATION Testing was performed on 10 May 2013 at BACL Laboratories 1274 Anvilwood Ave. Sunnyvale, CA 94089 T.N.

Silver Spring Networks Report No: 13PRO006 FCC ID: OWS-NIC42 IC: 5975A-NIC42 Model No.: NIC42 4.4 POWERLINE CONDUCTED EMISSIONS LIMIT §15.207 (a) Except as shown in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, for an intentional radiator that is designed to be connected to the public utility (AC) power line, the radio frequency voltage that is conducted back onto the AC power line on any frequency or frequencies within the band 150 kHz to 30 MHz shall not exceed the limits in the following table, as measured using a 50 µH/50 ohms line impedance stabilization network (LISN). Compliance with the provisions of this paragraph shall be based on the measurement of the radio frequency voltage between each power line and ground at the power terminal. The lower limit applies at the boundary between the frequency ranges. TEST PROCEDURE The EUT is placed on a non-conducting table 40 cm from the vertical ground plane and 80 cm above the horizontal ground plane. The EUT is configured in accordance with ANSI C63.4. The resolution bandwidth is set to 9 kHz for both peak detection and quasi-peak detection measurements. Peak detection is used unless otherwise noted as quasi-peak. The transmitter was configured to simultaneously transmit FHSS mode in the 902 MHz and 2.4 GHz bands simultaneously, since this is the worst-case operation (maximum output power) for simultaneous operation. Line conducted data is recorded for both NEUTRAL and HOT lines. RESULTS No non-compliance noted: Page 4 of 8
