1.3 MPE Requirements Overview Three different categories of transmitters are defined by the FCC KDB 447498 D01. These categories are fixed installation, mobile, and portable and are defined as follows: o Fixed Installations: fixed location means that the device, including its antenna, is physically secured at a permanent location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. Additionally, distance to humans from the antenna is maintained to at least 2 meters. o Mobile Devices: a mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to be generally used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons. Transmitters designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be easily re- located, such as a wireless modem operating in a laptop computer, are considered mobile devices if they meet the 20 centimeter separation requirement. The FCC rules for evaluating mobile devices for RF compliance are found in 47 CFR §2.1091. o Portable Devices: a portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user. Portable device requirements are found in Section 2.1093 of the FCC's Rules (47 CFR§2.1093). The FCC also categorizes the use of the device as based upon the user’s awareness and ability to exercise control over his or her exposure. The two categories defined are Occupational/ Controlled Exposure and General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure. These two categories are defined as follows: o Occupational/Controlled Exposure: In general, occupational/controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, who have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This exposure category is also applicable when the exposure is of a transient nature due to incidental passage through a location where the exposure levels may be higher than the general population/uncontrolled limits, but the exposed person is fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means. Awareness of the potential for RF exposure in a workplace or similar environment can be provided through specific training as part of a RF safety program. If appropriate, warning signs and labels can also be used to establish such awareness by providing prominent information on the risk of potential exposure and instructions on methods to minimize such exposure risks. o General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure: The general population / uncontrolled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Members of the general public would come under this category when exposure is not employment-related; for example, in the case of a wireless transmitter that exposes persons in its vicinity. Warning labels placed on low-power consumer devices such as cellular telephones are not considered sufficient to allow the device to be considered under the occupational/controlled category, and the general population/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to these devices. The Netcomm Outdoor LTE Router FCC ID: XIA-IFWA661 is evaluated to the Fixed Installation requirements and is considered a device to be used by the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure.

1.4 Procedure The procedure used to determine the RF power density was based upon a calculation for determining compliance with the MPE requirements. The power generated by each transmitter used in this product was initially measured by a power meter and the powers were recorded. Through use of the Friis transmission formula and knowledge of the maximum antenna gain to be used, the power density level is calculated at a distance of 20cm. Friis Transmission Formula Friis transmission formula: Pd = (Pout*G) / (4πr2) Where, Pd = Power Density (mW/cm2) π = 3.1416 Pout = output power to antenna (mW) r = distance between observation point and center of the radiator (cm) G = gain of antenna in linear scale Calculated MPE The power density limit for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure at each frequency is determined based on the information in Table 1-1. There is no co-location between the electric fields of any two transmitters therefore following power densities are calculated for each individual transmitter by frequency at 20cm spacing: Frequency 3700 MHz Limit 1.000 mW/cm^2 Distance (cm), R = 20 cm Power (dBm), P = 23.13 dBm 205.59 mW Power with SBTA (dBm), P = 21.58 dBm 143.91 mW TX Ant Gain (dBi), G = 19 dBi Power Density (S) = 2.274 mW/cm^2 (at 20cm) Minimum Distance = 30.2 cm Table 1-2. Calculated MPE Data for 3.7GHz Band – Main Antenna Frequency: 3700 MHz Limit: 1.000 mW/cm^2 Distance (cm), R = 20 cm Power (dBm), P = 22.87 dBm 193.64 mW Power with SBTA (dBm), P = 21.32 dBm 135.55 mW TX Ant Gain (dBi), G = 19 dBi Power Density (S) = 2.1420 mW/cm^2 (at 20cm) Minimum Distance = 29.3 cm Table 1-3.
