FCC ID: Q9DAPINM210
Models: APINM210
Applicant: Aruba Networks
Date: July 27, 2016

To Whom It May Concern:

We, Aruba Networks submit this formal request to the FCC Authorization and Evaluation Division for an
Expedited Review for the DFS radar testing required by KDB 388624 D01 Permit but Ask Procedure on
FCC ID: Q9DAPINM210

Reasoning for Expedited Review:

The APINM210 (FCC ID: Q9DAPINM210) and the APIN0224/APIN0225 (FCC ID: Q9DAPIN0224225)
utilize the same Broadcom RF Chipset Model: BCM43460KMLG. Both devices utilize all the same
components (i.e. External Antenna’s, GE PHY, Transformers, Flash, SDRAM, etc.) but have different
PCB form factors, housing, maximum data rates and different antenna gains for the Internal Antenna
versions. The APINM210 utilizes 3 x Integrated Antenna’s with a Gain of 2.5 dBi in 2.4GHz and 3.0 dBi
in 5GHz Band, the APIN0224 utilizes External Antennas with gains of 2.0dBi in 2.4GHz and 2.0 dBi in
5GHz Band. FCC ID: Q9DAPIN0224225 performed verification testing with the FCC on July 18, 2016.
The DFS detection functionality has not been changed between these devices.
