Attn: Office of Engineering and Technology.

FCC ID: Q9DAPINR108109
Models: APINR108 and APINR109
Applicant: Aruba Networks
Date: July 21, 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: Q9DAPINR108109

Reasoning for Expedited Review:

The APINR108109 (FCC ID: Q9DAPIN0103) and the APINH103 (FCC ID: Q9DAPINH103) utilize the
same Qualcomm-Atheros RF Chipset Model: AR9344 and AR9582 but have different PCB form factors,
housing and antenna gains. The APINH103 utilizes 2 x Dual-Band Integrated Antenna’s with a Gain of
3.6 dBi in 2.4GHz and 3.3 dBi in 5GHz Band, the APIN0108 utilizes 2 x Dual-Band External Antennas
with lowest gains of 2.0dBi in 2.4GHz and 2.5 dBi in 5GHz Band, while the APINR109 utilizes 2 x
2.4GHz Integral Antennas with 5.0dBi Gain and 2 x 5GHz Integral Antennas with 50dBi Gain. FCC ID:
Q9DAPINH103 DFS Verification testing was performed at the FCC on July 20, 2016. The DFS detection
functionality has not been changed between these devices.

Please refer to page 2 for the “Expedited Review Information” table.
