To Whom It May Concern:

We, Atheros Communications, hereby apply for Class II permission change to
the approved product under FCC ID PPD-AR5BXB63, to portable category when
applied in the laptop platform PC-81006N. Due to the design of the platform
resulting in less than 20cm distance to human body, we have tested the platform
with the PPD-AR5BXB63 device for SAR. Radiated emission testing was not
additionally performed due to the following:

   -   The PPD-AR5BXB63 module was assessed compliant to radiated
       emission limits per 15.247.in its initial FCC approval. Original FCC testing
       was performed with an antenna of higher gain. The current platform uses
       an antenna of the same type but of lower gain across the emission bands.
       Hence it is apparent that the current platform yields lower level of radiated
       emission.
   -   The original FCC testing on module PPD-AR5BXB63 was performed
       when the antenna was connected to the module in an open environment.
       The current platform under application has the antenna installed inside
       the laptop enclosure. The physical restraints introduced by the laptop
       enclosure results in lower level of radiated emission.

Please kindly review the application documents submitted and grant approval for
this permissive change application.

Sincerely,




Caroline Yu, Regulatory Engineer
