4114016 3.0 January 28, 2014 AirPrime HL6528-G Product Technical Specification 4114016 Rev 3.0 January 28, 2014 2 Product Technical Specification Important Notice Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guaranteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the Sierra Wireless modem are used in a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the Sierra Wireless modem should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. Sierra Wireless accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or received using the Sierra Wireless modem, or for failure of the Sierra Wireless modem to transmit or receive such data. Safety and Hazards Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in areas where cellular modems are not advised without proper device certifications. These areas include environments where cellular radio can interfere such as explosive atmospheres, medical equipment, or any other equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. The Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment. Do not operate the Sierra Wireless modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the Sierra Wireless modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. When operating, the Sierra Wireless modem can transmit signals that could interfere with various onboard systems. Note: Some airlines may permit the use of cellular phones while the aircraft is on the ground and the door is open. Sierra Wireless modems may be used at this time. The driver or operator of any vehicle should not operate the Sierra Wireless modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so will detract from the driver or operator’s control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and provinces, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence. Limitations of Liability This manual is provided “as is”.

MPE Evaluation for HL6528-G Wireless Module April 21, 2014 1. Introduction In this application we seek for modular approval to the HL6528-G wireless module for use in standalone and collocated simultaneous transmission under mobile configuration. This Maximum Permissive Exposure (MPE) report demonstrates compliance analysis for HL6528-G 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 HL6528-G 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 3. 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. Table 3: HL6528-G Standalone and Collocated Transmission Declarations Mode Equipment Category Max Transmitter Duty Cycle Transmitter Range (MHz) Maximum Conducted Power Maximum Antenna Gain (dBi) (dBm) (W) Standalone Collocated GPRS Class10 25% 824-849 35.0 2.00 4.5 3.0 1850 -1910 32.0 1.00 1.0 3.0 4. MPE Calculations The WWAN MPE calculations are based on conservative conducted transmit power exceeding those listed in the FCC ID N7Nhl6528G and IC number 2417C-HL6528G 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 4, 5, and 6 summarize transmitter parameters associated with this analysis. 4.1. Individual Transmitter Calculations 4.1.1. Maximum Output Power The maximum power calculations for HL6528-G per wireless technology are shown in Table 4 Technology Frequency (MHz) Maximum Conducted Power (dBm) Maximum Conducted Power (W) Maximum Antenna Gain (dBi) Duty Cycle Max EIRP (dBm) Max EIRP (W) Max ERP (dBm) Max ERP (W) Max output power limit HL6528 - G standalone GPRS 824-849 35.0 2.00 4.5 1.000 39.500 8.913 37.360 5.445 7 W ERP 1850-1910 32.0 1.00 1.0 1.000 33.000 1.995 30.860 1.219 2 W EIRP Table 4: HL6528-G Maximum Output Power Calculation 4.1.2. Standalone Power Density The power density calculations for the individual transmitters per wireless technology at an exposure minimum separation distance of 20cm are shown in Table 5. For frequency dependent limit, the lowest transmitter frequency was used to represent the lowest MPE limit in this analysis (eg. 824MHz = 0.549mW/cm 2 ) Technology Frequency (MHz) Maximum Conducted Power (dBm) Maximum Conducted Power (W) Maximum Antenna Gain (dBi) Duty Cycle Average EIRP (dBm) Average EIRP (mW) Power Density @ 20cm (mW/cm^2) FCC MPE Limit (mW/cm^2) HL6528 - G standalone GPRS 824-849 35.0 0.25 4.5 0.250 29.98 995.268 0.198 0.549 1850-1910 32.0 0.25 1.0 0.250 26.98 498.816 0.099 1.000 Table 5: HL6528-G Standalone MPE Calculation 4.2.
