Collins - Ensenada WWW.TALONCOM.COM Copyright © 2022 Talon Communications, Inc. +20dBm Tango Sky INDUSTRIAL RADIOTRANSCEIVER MODULE DATASHEET DESCRIPTION Tango Sky is a low power, high over the air data rate, worldwide FCC/IC/CE/MIC certified 2.4GHz RF Module with a 100mW PA/LNA for extended range operations. Tango Sky is based on the Nordic nRF24L01+ radio incorporating an Enhanced ShockBurst™ hardware protocol accelerator which offloads time critical protocol functions from the application microcontroller enabling the implementation of advanced and robust wireless connectivity with low cost 3rd-party microcontrollers. Tango can be used with the nRFgo SDK for easy code development. The nRFgo SDK is a fully featured Software Development Kit for Nordic nRF24L Series 2.4GHz RF System-on-Chips (SoCs). Used in conjunction with the nRFgo Starter Kit and nRFgo Studio, it contains everything needed for code development and debugging, including integration with Keil μVision™ IDE, a comprehensive library of hardware abstraction layers (HAL), Nordic Gazell 2.4GHz RF protocol stack, USB stack, and example applications. The module brings out all the functional pins of the nRF24L01+ and PA for maximum usability and flexibility including: SPI Bus and Interrupt for Nordic nRF24L01+ control Power Amplifier software controlled TX, RX, Bypass and Sleep modes for complete PA control Power Amplifier automatic PA control via Nordic radio - No extra software required FEATURES • +20dBm (100mW) Maximum Transmit Power FCC/IC • +10dBm (10mW) Maximum Transmit Power CE/MIC •Micro 27mm x 14mm x 10mm form factor • Long range 1Km LoS @ +20dBm •Worldwide 2.4GHz ISM band operation •250Kbps / 1Mbps / 2Mbps selectable data rate •79 Selectable RF channels •Enhanced ShockBurst hardware accelerator •Automatic Packet Handling • Nordic Gazell Protocol Stack • Low power modes (<2μA in sleep mode) •4KV HBM Ruggedized •Nordic Radio plus PA/LNA •SMT or right angle through-hole mounting •-40C to +85C Operation •1.8v to 3.6v Operation • RoHS Compliant • FCC/IC/CE/MIC Certified APPLICATIONS •IoT •JPEG • M2M • Long Range Monitoring • Industrial Control •Commercial Automation • Lighting Control • Asset Tracking Input excel file Revision 1.7 06/26/2022 The information in this document is subject to change without notice. 2/8 TALON COMMUNICATIONS San Diego - Ft.

1(2) Talon Commu nications, Inc. Attention : Certification reviewer RE: Request fo r Confidentiality FCC ID: A7D-TCI-24SKY To Whom It May Concern: Permanent Confidentiality [Complete this section if permanent confidentiality is requested] Request to withhold permanently from public review certain portions of the application for equipment certification for the referenced FCC identifiers. This request for confidentiality is made pursuant to 47 CFR 0.457(d) and 0.459 of the FCC Rules. In particular, the following sections of the application are to be kept permanently confidential: [Select one or more of items below, as appropriate] Schematics Block Diagrams Operational Descript ion Tune-up Procedure Parts List Internal P hotos (see note) Users Manual (see note) Note 1: Internal Photos may be held confidential 1) if the circuit board or internal components are not accessible to users. For example, it is acceptable if the circuit board is enclosed in epoxy. 2) Also, it is acceptable if the device is not accessible to the public, for example, a device mounted on the top of a large tower (or in a fenced enclosure) such that it is only serviceable by professional designated technicians under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). All sales for these devices must be under a NDA restricting the disclosure of the propriety information, including internal photos. Users Manual may be held confidential only when the manual contains proprietary technical information intended for professional technicians obligated under a NDA. All sales and distribution of the user’s manual must be under a NDA that restricts the disclosure of the information. In the application cover letter requesting permanent confidentiality the following additional description and the NDA exhibit is required: 1.Describe in detail how internal photos and/or users manual information are controlled to prevent them from becoming public or disclosed to unauthorized persons. 2.Describe how public access is restricted for products serviceable by professional designated technicians. 3.A statement that all sales of the non-consumer device will be under a NDA to include third party sales and that the final user of the device is subject to the NDA. 4.Provide an example of the NDA between the grantee and a purchaser. The request for confidentiality must Note 2: For scanning receiver, the schematics, block diagrams, operational description, tune-up procedure, parts list and internal photos are always held permanently confidential. Short-term Confidentiality [Complete this section if short-term confidentiality is requested] Request to withhold from public review for a period of 180 days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing, certain portions of the application for equipment certification for the referenced FCC identifiers. This request for confidentiality is made pursuant to 47 CFR 0.457(d) and 0.459 of the FCC Rules. In particular, the following sections of the application are to b e kept short- term confidential for a period above from the date of the grant [Select one or more of items below that are not selected in the list above, as appropriate] Schematics Block diagrams Operational Description Tune-up Procedure 2(2 ) Parts List Test Setup Photos External Phot os Internal Phot os Users Ma nual Ratio nale for request for confidentiality: We have in vested considerable time and materials in research and development to produce the referenced product. Permanent confidentiality: Disclosure of the permanently confidential portions of this application to competitors would not only give them significant competitive advantages in developing similar products, but would also disclose successful implementation of unpublished, leading edge technology developed by us. Short-term confidentiality: Disclosure of the short-term confidential portions of this application during the period of importation and/or distribution would reveal key aspects of proprietary technology to competitors and diminish the value of our investment in research and development.

INTERTEK TESTING SERVICES RF Exposure The Equipment Under Test (EUT) is a Radio Module operating at 2402-2480MHz. The EUT is powered by DC 3.3V. For more detailed features description, please refer to the user’s manual. Antenna Type: removable antenna Antenna Gain: 2.0dBi Modulation Type: GFSK The nominal conducted output power specified: 20dBm (±1dB) The nominal radiation output power specified: 22dBm (±1dB) The maximun conducted output power for the EUT is 19.96dBm in the frequency 2440MHz which is within the production variation. The minimum conducted output power for the EUT is 19.70dBm in the frequency 2402MHz which is within the production variation. According to FCC Part 2.1091, this unlicensed transmitting device is categorically excluded from routine environmental evaluation for RF exposure prior to equipment authorization or use, According to the KDB 447498 and OET 65, the simple calculation as below: The source-based time averaged maximum radiated power = 23dBm = 199.53mW At the distance (R) of 20cm to 40cm and in 0.3 GHz to 6 GHz, MPE Exclusion Threshold Level: The MPE limit is 3060mW for general population and uncontrolled exposure in the 2.4GHz frequency range according to FCC Part 1.1307. As the measured power density at 20cm from the transmitter is lower than the MPE limit, the compliance to the MPE limit can be ensured by indicating the minimum 20cm separation between the transmitter's radiating structure and body of the user or nearby persons FCC ID: A7D-TCI-24SKY
