EXHIBIT 5. RADIATED EMISSIONS TEST: FUNDAMENTAL, HARMONICS AND SPURIOUS EMISSIONS 5.1 - Test Setup The test setup was assembled in accordance with Title 47, CFR FCC Part 15, RSS GEN and ANSI C63.4-2014. The EUT was placed on an 80cm (150cm above 1GHz) high non-conductive pedestal, centered on a flush mounted turntable inside a 3 meter Semi-Anechoic, FCC listed Chamber. The unit has the capability to operate on 3 channels, controllable via a proprietary software provided by the manufacturer (UWTerminalX v1.01) and was run continuously with a modulated transmission. The applicable limits apply at a 3 meter distance. The calculations to determine these limits are detailed in the following pages. Please refer to Appendix A for a complete list of test equipment. The test sample was operated on one of three (3) standard channels: low (2402MHz), middle (2440MHz) and high (2480MHz) to comply with FCC Part 15.31(m). 5.2 - Test Procedure Radiated RF measurements were performed on the EUT in a 3 meter Semi-Anechoic, FCC listed Chamber. The frequency range from 30 MHz to 25000 MHz was scanned and investigated. The radiated RF emission levels were manually noted at the various fixed degree settings of azimuth on the turntable and antenna height. The EUT was placed on a non-conductive pedestal in the 3 meter Semi-Anechoic Chamber, with the antenna mast placed such that the antenna was 3 meters from the EUT. A Biconical Antenna was used to measure emissions from 30 MHz to 300 MHz, and a Log Periodic Antenna was used to measure emissions from 300 MHz to 1000 MHz. A Double-Ridged Waveguide Horn Antenna was used from 1 GHz to 18 GHz and a standard gain horn antenna used between 18 GHz to 25 GHz. The maximum radiated RF emissions between 30MHz to 25 GHz were found by raising and lowering the sense antenna between 1 and 4 meters in height, using both horizontal and vertical antenna polarities. For measurements above 1GHz, a tilting gear was used to maintain the EUT in the cone of radiation, and absorbers were placed on the ground plane. The EUT was positioned in 3 orthogonal orientations. Prepared For: Laird Technologies EUT: RM191-SM LSR Report #: 316054A Model #: RM191-SM Template: 15.249 LSR Job #: C-2401 Serial #: See Section 2.2 Page 11 of 31

5.3 - Test Equipment Utilized A list of the test equipment and antennas utilized for the Radiated Emissions test can be found in Appendix A. This list includes calibration information and equipment descriptions. All equipment is calibrated and used according to the operation manuals supplied by the manufacturers. All calibrations of the antennas used were performed at a calibration laboratory accredited to ISO 17025, and are traceable to the SI standard. In addition, the Connecting Cables were measured for losses using a calibrated Signal Generator and an EMI Receiver. The resulting correction factors and the cable loss factors from these calibrations were entered into the EMI Receiver database. As a result, the data taken from the EMI Receiver accounts for the antenna correction factor as well as cable loss or other corrections, and can therefore be entered into the database as a corrected meter reading. The EMI Receiver was operated with a resolution bandwidth of 120 kHz for measurements below 1 GHz (video bandwidth of 300 kHz), and a bandwidth of 1 MHz for measurements above 1 GHz (video bandwidth of 3 MHz, with average measurements using 10 Hz). 5.4 - Test Results The EUT was found to MEET the Radiated Emissions requirements of Title 47 CFR, FCC Part 15.249 and Canada RSS-210, Issue 8 (2010), Annex 2.9. The frequencies with significant RF signal strength were recorded and plotted as shown in the Data Charts and Graphs. Prepared For: Laird Technologies EUT: RM191-SM LSR Report #: 316054A Model #: RM191-SM Template: 15.249 LSR Job #: C-2401 Serial #: See Section 2.2 Page 12 of 31

5.5 - Calculation of Radiated Emissions Limits and reported data. The limits below are obtained from Title 47 CFR, Part 15.249 (a) (RSS 210 A2.9 (a)), for radiated emissions measurements. These limits were applied to the fundamental and harmonics: Frequency Fundamental Fundamental Harmonic Harmonic (MHz) Limit Limit Limit Limit mV/m (dBV/m) V/m (dBV/m) 902-928 50 94.0 500 54.0 2400-2483.5 50 94.0 500 54.0 5725-5875 50 94.0 500 54.0 24000-24250 250 107.9 2500 67.9 The limits below are obtained from Title 47 CFR, Part 15.209, for radiated emissions measurements. These limits were applied to any emissions outside the specified bands: Frequency 3 m Limit 3 m Limit 1 m Limit (MHz) V/m (dBV/m) (dBµV/m) 30-88 100 40.0 - 88-216 150 43.5 - 216-960 200 46.0 - 960-24,000 500 54.0 63.5 Reported data: For both fundamental and spurious emissions measurement, the data reported includes all necessary correction factors. These correction factors are loaded onto the EMI receiver when measurements are performed. Reported Measurement data = Raw receiver measurement (dBµV/m) + Antenna correction Factor + Cable factor (dB) + Miscellaneous factors when applicable (dB) – amplification factor when applicable (dB). Generic example of reported data at 200 MHz: Reported Measurement data = 18.2 (raw receiver measurement) + 15.8 (antenna factor) + 1.45 (cable factor) = 35.45 (dBµV/m).

EXHIBIT 6. CONDUCTED EMISSIONS TEST, AC POWER LINE 6.1 Test Setup The test area and setup are in accordance with ANSI C63.4 and with Title 47 CFR, FCC Part 15, Industry Canada RSS GEN. The EUT was placed on a non-conductive wooden table, with a height of 80 cm above the reference ground plane. The EUT’s power cable was plugged into a 50 (ohm), Line Impedance Stabilization Network (LISN). The AC power supply was provided via an appropriate broadband EMI Filter, and then to the LISN line input. Final readings were then taken and recorded. After the EUT was setup and connected to the LISN, the RF Sampling Port of the LISN was connected to a and then to EMI receiver System. The LISN used has the ability to terminate the unused port with a 50 (ohm) load when switched to either L1 (line) or L2 (neutral). 6.2 Test Procedure The appropriate frequency range and bandwidths were selected on the EMI Receiver, and measurements were made. The bandwidth used for these measurements is 9 kHz, as specified in CISPR 16-1-1, Section 6, Table 8, for Quasi-Peak and Average detectors in the frequency range of 150 kHz to 30 MHz. Final readings were then taken and recorded. 6.3 Test Equipment Utilized A list of the test equipment and accessories utilized for the Conducted Emissions test is provided in Appendix A. This list includes calibration information and equipment descriptions. All equipment is calibrated and used according to the operation manuals supplied by the manufacturers. Calibrations of the LISN and Limiter were performed at an IEC/ISO 17025 accredited calibration laboratory, traceable to the SI standard. All cables are calibrated and checked periodically for conformance. The emissions are measured on the EMI System, which has automatic correction for all factors stored in memory and allows direct readings to be taken. 6.4 Test Results The EUT was found to MEET the Conducted Emission requirements of FCC Part 15.207 and RSS GEN for Conducted Emissions. See the Data Charts and Graphs for more details of the test results.

EXHIBIT 8. FREQUENCY & POWER STABILITY OVER VOLTAGE VARIATIONS Test Engineer(s): Shane Dock The power and frequency stability of the device was examined as a function of the input voltage available to the EUT using the procedure described in ANSI 63.10, section 6.8. A Spectrum Analyzer was used to measure the power and frequency at the appropriate frequency markers. Power was supplied by an external bench-type DC power supply and was varied between 1.8VDC to 3.6VDC. This range was specified by the manufacturer. 1.8 VDC 3.3 VDC 3.6 VDC Channel Frequency (Hz) Frequency (Hz) Frequency (Hz) Frequency Drift (Hz) Channel 2 2402032080 2402031750 2402030420 1660 Channel 40 2440029920 2440025920 2440029750 4000 Channel 80 2480032920 2480036420 2480030250 6170 The EUT has better than 100 PPM frequency stability. The power was then cycled On/Off to observe system response. No unusual response was observed, the emission characteristics were well behaved, and the system returned to the same state of operation as before the power cycle.
