ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS. THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY. The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense. The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense. You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures: • Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops. • Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio. • Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio. • Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.) Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

However you have submitted the UNII and DFS Test Report. In addition there are frequencies in this application that are a duplicate of the UNII frequencies. There is no 2.4 GHz data but the User's Manual indicates that the device has this capability. Submit a list of frequencies and power to be listed on the Grant for the DTS portion of this composite application. Submit a DTS Test Report. Response: This device is a composite UNII/DTS device. The UNII frequencies supported are 5180-5320 MHz and 5500-5700 MHz. The DFS frequencies are 5745-5825MHz. The test report included data for both the UNII and DTS frequencies. The user manual includes 2.4GHz information because the access point (host) for this module also supports an additional 2.4GHz radio module approved under a separate FCC ID (LDK102060). Question 2) The User's Manual indicated operation on a channel frequency of 5825 MHz. The UNII test report only has power measured at this frequency. This frequency is not in the UNII band. If 5825 MHz is to be used it must be included in the DTS application. Please explain and include data as appropriate in the Test Report. Response: 5825MHz should be included in the DTS portion of the application. All required data for 5825MHz is included in the test report. Question 3) The UNII portion of this composite application requested unlimited Modular Approval. However there is no information in this application to support this. What is your intent? Response: This module is used in the AIR-AP1251access point in combination with an additional 2.4GHz radio module. The intent is to offer either one or the other, or both, radio modules in the access point either as a factory configuration or as field upgrades. Question 4) This is a new original software defined radio (SDR) application. Is this your intent? Note that this limits you to one Class 2 permissive change in the future. Response: Yes this is the intent.

In the UNII/DTS application you requested modular approval. However there is no information in this application regarding modular approval. It is my understanding that this will be a Limited Modular Approval. What host device restrictions are to be placed on this device? Response: LDK102059 was configured and tested in the Cisco Systems AIR-AP1250 series host. At this time this is the only intended host for this radio module.

Company Confidential Section 1: Overview Test Summary The samples were assessed against the tests detailed in section 3 under the requirements of the following standards: Emissions: CFR47 Parts 15.247 ,15.249, 15.407. Notes: 1) Where a specification listed on the front cover of this report has deviations from the basic standards listed above, the additional technical requirements of the specification were also assessed. 2) Where appropriate, Cisco may have substituted a later revision of a basic standard to those referenced in the specification on the front sheet of this test report. This decision was based upon improved test methodology and repeatability and/or where the newer revision represented a more stringent test. 3) Where relevant, testing has been carried out to the requirements of both EN and IEC Specifications. This was possible because of the similarities of the test methods involved and the Cisco EMC test procedures. 4) For Radiated and Conducted emissions results refer to section 2.9 for measurement …
