TRaC Global Ltd. 100 Frobisher Business Park Malvern Worcestershire WR14 1BX 16 February 2015 To Whom It May Concern: Subject: Unique Antenna Connection Statement - FCC ID: 2ABHT2110010: Please be advised that all standard electrical connectors on antennas will be made non-electrically standard according to the following steps: 1. Loctite 243 Threadlocking Adhesive or adhesive with equivalent or stronger strength will be used; 2. The adhesive will be applied to the antenna assemblies at the factory prior to shipment to guarantee a unique electrical connector; 3. Two commercially available antennas with N Type connectors will be modified via an Reverse Polarity TNC adaptor and using the adhesive outlined above to create unique connector antennas, details are: a. Commercially available antenna with part number Solwise NET-WL-ANT-009NPLG becomes a unique connector antenna with part number SH-A-RTNC09O; b. Commercially available antenna with part number Solwise NET-WL-ANT-015ON becomes a unique connector antenna with part number SH-A-RTNC15O; 4. Each of the two antennas mentioned above will have an option of a 1 meter extension cable which will be permanently attached to guarantee a unique electrical connector. a. Commercially available antenna with part number Solwise NET-WL-ANT-009NPLG and 1 meter extension cable becomes a unique connector antenna with part number SH- A-RTNC09O1M; b. Commercially available antenna with part number Solwise NET-WL-ANT-015ON and 1 meter extension cable becomes a unique connector antenna with part number SH-A- RTNC15O1M; 5. Any additional antennas will be permanently attached with adhesive as to guarantee they have a unique electrical connector; Thank you for your attention to this matter.

TRaC Global Test Report: TRA-022673-47-00-A Appendix G: SAR Exclusion & MPE Calculation KDB 447498 Section 4.3 General SAR test reduction and exclusion guidance For Standalone SAR exclusion consideration, when SAR Exclusion Threshold requirement in KDB 447498 is satisfied, standalone SAR evaluation for general population exposure conditions by measurement or numerical simulation is not required. In the frequency range below 100 MHz to 6 GHz and test separation distance of 50mm, the SAR Test Exclusion Threshold for operation in the 2400 – 2483.5 MHz band will be determined as follows SAR Exclusion Threshold (SARET) SAR Exclusion Threshold = Step 1 + Step 2 Step 1 NT = [ (MP/TSD A ) * √ f GHz ] NT = Numeric Threshold (3.0 for 1-g SAR and 7.5 for 10-g SAR) MP = Max Power of channel (mW) (inc tune up) TSD A = Min Test separation Distance or 50mm (whichever is lower) = 50 We can transpose this formula to allow us to find the maximum power of a channel allowed and compare this to the measured maximum power. = [(NT x TSD A ) / √ f GHz ] For Distances Greater than 50 mm Step 2 applies Step 2 (TSD B – 50mm) * 10} Where: TSD B = Min Test separation Distance (mm) = 50 61 TRaC Global Test Report: TRA-022673-47-00-A Operating Frequency 2.455 GHz SARET = [ (3.0 x 50) / √2.412 ] + { (50 – 50) * 10 } SARET = [150 / 1.55 ] + (0 * 10 } SARET = 96.77mW Operating Frequency 2.465 GHz SARET = [ (3.0 x 50) / √2.437 ] + { (50 – 50) * 10 } SARET = [150 / 1.56 ] + (0 * 10 } SARET = 96.15mW Operating Frequency 2.475 GHz SARET = [ (3.0 x 50) / √2.462 ] + { (50 – 50) * 10 } SARET = [150 / 1.57 ] + (0 * 10 } SARET = 95.54mW Channel Frequency (MHz) Conducted Carrier Power (dBm) Maximum Antenna Gain (dBi) EIRP (mW) SAR Exclusion Threshold SAR Evaluation 2455 2.17 15 52.12 96.77 Not Required 2465 2.15 15 51.88 96.15 Not Required 2475 2.14 15 51.76 95.54 Not Required Therefore standalone SAR evaluation for general population exposure conditions by measurement or numerical simulation is not required. where: S = power density R = distance to the centre of radiation of the antenna EIRP = EUT Maximum power Note: The EIRP was calculated by addition on the maximum conducted carrier power 7.95 dBm (6.24 mW) and based on a antenna gain of 0 dBi Result Prediction Frequency (MHz) Maximum EIRP (mW) Power density limit (S) (mW/cm 2 ) Distance (R) cm required to be less than 1 mW/cm 2 2455 52.12 1 2.04 62
