1. Introduction
The purpose of this document is to request a C2PC on our existing WL18MODGB modular certification (FCC ID:
Z64 - WL18SBMOD, ISED ID: 451I-WL18SBMOD, test grades 01, 05, 31 and 35). The change will be to the
OEM installation instructions to include a minimum cable loss. The parts in question can be seen below:

                                                          April 22, 2019
                                                                                                                         Version 3.0


2. Summary
Our original filing was done with the WL18MODGB placed on the WL1835MOCOM8B evaluation board. The
trace loss from the output of the main antenna to the U.FL connector is 1dBm as show in Figure 1 below.

Testing was also performed with the WL18MODGB Test grade 35 placed on the WL1837MODCOM8I evaluation
board. During the testing a 1dB cable loss was included in the measurements as shown in Figure 2. Results of the
test (to be supplied by Sporton) show no measureable difference in output power as the original grant.




                                 1 dB cable loss
                                 included     in
                                 measurements

Based on the above information we are requesting that a C2PC be performed allowing customers to include an
equivalent 1dB loss of any shape or form (such as trace, cable or 1-dB pi-pad loss) in their design and maintain the
use of the current FCC and ISED IDs. The integrator guide provided to customers will be updated to reflect this
with the following statement:


Note: at least an equivalent 1dB loss (in the form of trace, cable or 1-dB pi-pad loss) is required between the
output of the WL18MODGB module and the antenna to be compliant with the current Z64- WL18SBMOD
and 451I-WL18SBMOD module certification.
