MPE Evaluation for EM7305 Radio Module January 20, 2014 1. Introduction In this application we seek for modular approval to the EM7305 wireless module for use in standalone and collocated simultaneous transmission under mobile configuration. This Maximum Permissive Exposure (MPE) report demonstrates compliance analysis for EM7305 wireless module with FCC CFR 47 §2.1091 and IC RSS-102 for standalone and collocated transmission in mobile exposure conditions. The MPE analysis is limited for US / Canada bands only. The general population/uncontrolled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Any collocated transmitter must have a valid FCC ID documenting equivalent or degraded RF characteristics with the collocated parameters defined in this MPE report. A separation distance of 20cm or more shall be maintained between the end user and each WWAN, WiMAX or WLAN, and Bluetooth transmitting antenna. Portable user conditions or additional collocated transmitters not allowed based on this RF exposure analysis require a Class II permissive change and updated RF exposure report. 2. RF Exposure Limits and Equations FCC RULES: According to FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, the criteria listed in Table 1 shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation as specified in §1.1307. Table 1 : Limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) IC RULES: IC has adopted the RF field strength limits established in Health Canada’s RF exposure guideline. The limits are shown in Table 2 below per RSS- 102. Table 2 : RF Field Strength Limits for Devices Used by the General Public (Uncontrolled Environment) EQUATIONS: Power density is given by : S = EIRP / (4 * Pi * D^2) where S = Power density (mW/cm^2) EIRP = Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (mW) D = Separation distance (cm) 3. Product Declarations The EM7305 wireless module can be installed for use in any mobile host as long as the antenna gain of the host antenna does not exceed the gain listed in table 2. This MPE analysis is applicable to any collocated transmitters with transmit power: - less than or equal to 29.0dBm for WLAN/WiMAX; and - less than or equal to 15.0dBm for BT. Specific FCC IDs for those devices are not necessary or identified in this analysis providing they are classified as mobile transmitters. A 100% duty cycle is used for calculations to present a worse-case analysis when applicable.

MPE Calculations The WWAN MPE calculations are based on conservative conducted transmit power exceeding those listed in the FCC ID N7NEM7305 and IC number 2417C-EM7305 filing. The higher transmit power levels are used to present a worst case assessment. The WiMAX, WLAN, and BT transmit power and antenna gain parameters represent a maximum transmit power for a given frequency band. Integration of either a WiMAX or WLAN, and BT module that exceeds the parameters requires a new FCC authorization or permissive change application. A maximum antenna gain of 5 dBi for WLAN/WiMAX/BT has been assumed for all collocated antennas. Table 3, 4, and 5 summarize transmitter parameters associated with this analysis. 4.1.
