Confidential Page 4 of 6 1 Family Certification Information The T0006600 Kona Micro PoE Gateway family consists of two variants with backhaul options (3G/4G cellular wireless yes/no). All variants have a copper Ethernet port that is also the 802.3af PoE power interface. All variants use the same internal T0004850 radio/digital PCBA. The individual LoRa transceivers in each variant are all electrically identical. The 3G/4G radio modem options are integrated internally at the factory by installing approved commercial modules into connectors on the radio/digital PCBA. If a modem is installed, so is an internal 3G/4G cellular antenna. There is no post factory module configuration allowed. Table 1-1 presents the Gateway variants which are being certified. For the purposes of design verification and certification, one variant may be considered as covering all test cases.

RF Exposure Info

FCC ID: 2ALEPT0006600 FCC RF Exposure Calculation 1 The Device is a carrier grade gateway designed for IoT applications. The Kona Micro POE gateway is designed to be used as indoor table top equipment for home or small office. The device has 1 antenna port, which must be used with antenna respecting the requirement specified in the technical documentation. Gateway evaluated for RF radiation exposure according to the provisions of FCC §2.1091, MPE guidelines identified in FCC §1.1310 and FCC KDB 447498:2015. Limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure: 47 CFR 1.1310 Table 1 (B) LIMITS FOR MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) Frequency range (MHz) Electric field strength (V/m) Magnetic field strength (A/m) Power density (mW/cm 2 ) Averaging time (minutes) 0.3-1.34 614 1.63 *100 30 1.34-30 824/f 2.19/f *180/f 2 30 30-300 27.5 0.073 0.2 30 300-1,500 f/1500 30 1,500-100,000 1.0 30 Where f is in MHz The worst-case scenario at 923 MHz is S = 0.615 mW/cm 2 , for uncontrolled exposure Equations To determine the minimum safe distance, each transmitted power density is calculated using the equation, S = EIRP / ( 4πR 2 ) Where: S, power density in ‘mW/cm 2 ’ EIRP, Effective Isotropic Radiated Power in ‘mW’ R, distance to the center of the radiation of the antenna in ‘cm’ FCC ID: 2ALEPT0006600 FCC RF Exposure Calculation 2 The power density calculations for the EM7355 at an exposure minimum separation distance of 20cm are shown in the table below for each mode of operation. The worst case value is highlighted below. When EM7455 module transmits as a stand-alone mobile device, the source-based time-averaged EIRP is calculated by summing up conducted power and antenna gain. A 100% duty cycle is used for calculations to present a worse-case analysis. Technology Frequency (MHz) Max. Avg Cond.

The formula to calculate the MPE is: CPD1 / LPD1 + CPD2 / LPD2 + .... < 1 Where, CPD: Calculated Power Density LPD: Limit of Power Density GSM / Limit + LoRa / Limit = 0.187 + 0.182 = 0.369 Therefore, the maximum exposure at a distance of 20 cm is less than the maximum allowed exposure.
