 RE:    FCC Modular Approval
 FCC ID:      QOQBGM111


 Dear Application Examiner

 Bluegiga Technologies Inc. / Bluetooth module, FCC ID: QOQBGM111, would like to have
 your authorization as a modularapproval. The requirements of section 15.212 of FCC rules
 have been met and shown on thefollowing statements.


  The modular transmitter must have its           The module has its own RF shielding
  own RF shielding.
  The modular transmitter must have               The module has buffered data inputs
  buffered modulation/data inputs (if such        integrated to EFr32 chip
  inputs are provided) to ensure that the
  module will comply with Part 15
  requirements under conditions of
  excessive data rates or over—modulation.

  The modular transmitter must have its           The module hasits own power supply
  own power supply regulation.                    regulation.

  The modular transmitter must comply            An embedded chip antenna is
  with the antenna requirements of Section       permanently aftached to the module.
  15.203 and 15.204(c). The antenna must
  either be permanently attached or
  employ a "unique" antenna coupler (at all
  connections between the module and the
  antenna, including the cable). Any
  antenna used with the module must be
  approved with the module, eitherat the
  time of initial authorization or through a
  Class II permissive change. The
  "professional installation" provision of
  Section 15.203 may not be applied to
  modules.

  The modular transmitter must betested           The module was tested in a stand alone
  in a stand—alone configuration, Le., the        configuration using a test kit.
  module must not be inside another
  device during testing. This is intended to
  demonstrate that the module is capable
  of complying with Part 15 emission limits
  regardless of the device into which it is
  eventually installed. Unless the
  ransmitter module will be battery

powered, it must comply with the AC line
conducted requirements found in Section
15.207. AC or DC powerlines and data
inputfoutput lines connected to the
module must not contain ferrites,
unless they will be marketed with the
module (see Section 15.27(a)). The
length of these lines shall be length
typical of actual use or, if that length is
unknown, at least 10 centimeters
to insure that there is no coupling
between the case of the module and
supporting equipment. Any accessories,
peripherals, or support equipment
connected to the module during testing
shall be unmodified or commercially
available (see Section 15.31(}).
The modular transmitter must belabeled        Please see exhibition label sample for

module is installed must also display a
label referring to the enclosed module.
This exterior Iabel can use wording such
as the following: "Contains Transmitter
Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1" or
"Contains FCC ID; XYZMODEL1." Any
similar wording that expresses the same
meaning may be used. The Grantee may
either provide such a label, an example
of which must be included in the
application for equipment authorization,
or, must provide adequate instructions
along with the module which explain this
requirement. In the latter case, a copy of
these instructions must be included in the
application for equipment authorization.

The modular transmitter must comply           The module is compliant with all
with any specific rule or operating           applicable FCC rules. Detailed
requirements applicable to the                instructions for remaining compliance are

provide adequate instructions along with
the module to explain any such
requirements. A copy of these
instructions must be
included in the application for equipment
authorization. For example, there are
very strict operational and timing
requirements that must be met before a
transmitteris authorized foroperation
under Section 15.231. For instance, data
transmission is prohibited, except for
operation under Section 15.231(e), in

 Compliance with these requirements
 must be assured.

 The modulartransmitter must comply              The module complies with RF exposure
 with any applicable RF exposure                 requirement. RF exposureis addressed
 requirements. For example, FCC Rules            in the RF exposure exhibition.
 in Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 and specific
 Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i,
 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g),
 require that Unlicensed PCS, UNIl and
 millimeter wave devices perform routine
 environmental evaluation for RF
 exposure to demonstrate compliance. In
 addition, spread spectrum transmitters
 operating under Section 15.247 are
 required to address RF Exposure
 compliance in accordance with Section
 15.247(b)(4). Modular transmitters
 approved under other Sections of Part
 15, when necessary, may also need to
 address certain RF Exposure concems,
 typically by providing specific installation
 and operating instructions for users,
 installers and otherinterested parties to
 ensure compliance.
