American Telecommunications Certification Body Inc. 6731 Whittier Ave, McLean, VA 22101 June 7, 2004 RE: AboCom System, Inc. FCC ID: MQ4WMG2K6 After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. Administrative Issues: 1) FYI....The FCC logo is not necessary on the labeling and should be removed since this device is not a self contained PC peripheral sold to the end user. 2) This application asks for a full modular approval. Note that this is not possible to grant a full modular approval with device that require RF exposure evaluation because portable applications must be reviewed on a case by case basis due to SAR. This application will only be granted a Limited Modular Approval restricted to OEM installation in applications where the 20 cm can be maintained (wireless access points, wireless routers, etc.). Please adjust the modular approval letter to request this. 3) The modular approval letter appears to mention a built in antenna. This is not true. Please correct. 4) The test report mentions the gain of the antenna as 1.8 dBi, while the RF exposure uses 1.8 numeric. Please confirm the correct gain and correct the exhibits as necessary.

Introduction The EUT operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. Due to the EUT (include antenna) at its normal operation distance is at least 20 cm from the human body, the EUT was defined as a Mobile Device. The EUT operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. The EUT (antenna included) is compliant with modular approval and the normal operation distance (after installing in other device, such as router or access point), 20cm from the human body; therefore, the EUT is defined as a Mobile Device. The reason to do the MPE Evaluation is to avoid the RF hazard to human body. The maximum output power and gain of the antenna were used to calculate the limited Power density (S) at 20cm distance away from the product. The limit for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC 1.1310 is followed. 2. RF Exposure Limit According to FCC 1.1310: The criteria listed in the following table shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation as specified in 1.1307(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 ) Average Time (minutes) (A) Limits for Occupational / Control Exposures 30-300 61.4 0.163 1.0 6 300-1500 - - F/300 6 1500-100,000 - - 5 6 (B) Limits for General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 30-300 27.5 0.073 0.2 30 300-1500 - - F/1500 30 1500-100,000 - - 1.0 30 F= Frequency in MHz FCC ID. : MQ4WMG2K6 Report No.: EME-040394 Page 5 of 5 3. RF Exposure calculations From § FCC 1.1310 table 1, the maximum permissible RF exposure for an uncontrolled environment is 1mW/(cm 2 ) Power density (S) is calculated by the following formula: S = (P * G)/4πR 2 where, S = Power density (mW/cm 2 ) P = Output power to antenna (mW) R = Distance between radiating structure and observation point (cm) G = Gain of antenna in numeric π = 3.1416 Example: Assume a mobile device operates at 2412MHz and its maximum output power is 50mW, and the maximum gain of antenna is 1 (numeric) /0dBi. then the power density (S) = (50 * 1)/4* π *20 2 = 0.00995 (mW/cm 2 ) 4. Test results Test Condition: 802.11b operation mode (DSSS modulation) Channel Channel Frequency (MHz) Maximum antenna gain (numeric) Output power to antenna (mW) Power density (mW/cm 2 ) Limit of power density (mW/cm 2 ) 1 2412 1.51 65.463 0.019712 1.0 6 2437 1.51 67.297 0.020264 1.0 11 2462 1.51 55.081 0.016586 1.0 Test Condition: 802.11g operation mode (OFDM modulation) Channel Channel Frequency (MHz) Maximum antenna gain (numeric) Output power to antenna (mW) Power density (mW/cm 2 ) Limit of power density (mW/cm 2 ) 1 2412 1.51 64.417 0.019397 1.0 6 2437 1.51 85.507 0.025747 1.0 11 2462 1.51 68.865 0.020736 1.0 The Notice in Installation Manual has been stated as below: While installing and operating this transmitter, the radio frequency exposure limit of 1mW/(cm*cm) may be exceeded at distances close to the transmitter. therefore, the user must maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm from the device at all time.
