Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems offer a great number of advantages over traditional wired systems. WLAN is flexible and easy to setup and manage. They are also more economical than wired LAN systems. Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLAN transmit and receive data through the air. WLAN combine data connectivity with user mobility. For example, users can roam from a conference room to their office without being disconnected from the LAN. Using WLAN, users can conveniently access-shared information, and network administrators can configure and augment networks without installing or moving network cables. WLAN technology provides users with many convenient and cost saving features: • Mobility: WLAN provide LAN users with access to real-time information anywhere in their organization, providing service opportunities that are impossible with wired networks. • Ease of Installation: Installing is easy for novice and expert users alike, eliminating the need to install network cables in walls and ceilings. • Scalability: WLAN can be configured in a variety of topologies to adapt to specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to full i…

FCC ID: O6M-MW251 ADT No.: 900717R02 FCC TEST REPORT REPORT NO.: RF900717R02 MODEL NO.: MW 251 ACCORDING: FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure IEEE C95.1 APPLICANT: BROMAX COMMUNICATIONS, INC. ADDRESS: No.20, Kuang Fu Road, Hsin Chu Industrial Park, Hu Kou, Hsin Chu, Taiwan, R.O.C. ISSUED BY: Advance Data Technology Corporation LAB LOCATION: 47 14th Lin, Chiapau Tsun, Linko, Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. 0528 Lab Code: 200102-0 FCC ID: O6M-MW251 ADT No.: 900717R02 RF Exposure Measurement (Mobile Device) 1. Introduction 2.4 GHz frequency band is regarded specially as a dangerous band for its heating harmfulness to the human body. That’s why microwave oven is operating in this frequency band. The manufacturer whose product is working in this frequency band is obligatory to prove the harmfulness of his product. In this document, we try to prove the safety of radiation harmfulness to the human body for our product. The limit for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC 1.1310 is followed. The Gain of the antenna used in this product is measured in a Fully Anechoic Chamber (FAC), and the maximum total power input to the antenna is measured. Through the Friis transmission formula and the maximum gain of the antenna, we can calculate the distance, away from the product, where the limit of MPE is reached. 2. Classification The antenna of the product, under normal use condition, is at least 20 cm away from the body of the user. Warning statement for keeping 20 cm separation distance and the prohibition of operating next to a person has been printed on the users manual. So, this product is classified as the Mobile Device. 3. 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). FCC ID: O6M-MW251 ADT No.: 900717R02 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 30-30061.40.1631.06 300-1500......F/3006 1500-100,000......56 (B)Limits For General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 30-30027.50.0730.230 300-1500......F/150030 1500-100,000......1.030 F = Frequency in MHz 4. Friis Formula Friis transmission formula : Pd = (Pout*G) / (4*pi*r 2 ) where Pd = power density in mW/cm 2 Pout = output power to antenna in mW G = gain of antenna in linear scale Pi = 3.1416 R = distance between observation point and center of the radiator in cm Pd is the limit of MPE, 1 mW/cm 2 . If we know the maximum Gain of the antenna and the total power input to the antenna, through the calculation, we will know the distance r where the MPE limit is reached. Ref. : David K. Cheng, Field and Wave Electromagnetics, Second Edition, Page 640, Eq. (11-133). 5. EUT Operating condition The software provided by Manufacturer enabled the EUT to transmit and receive data at lowest, middle and highest channel individually. FCC ID: O6M-MW251 ADT No.: 900717R02 6. Test Results 6.1 Antenna Gain The maximum Gain measured in Fully Anechoic Chamber is 3 dBi or 1.995 (numeric). 6.2 Output Power Into Antenna & RF Exposure Distance : CHANNEL CHANNEL FREQUENCY (MHz) OUTPUT POWER TO ANTENNA (mW) MINIMUM ALLOWABLE DISTANCE ( r ) FROM SKIN (Centi-Meter) 1241242.852.61 6243743.352.62 11246244.162.65 The minimum allowable distance is very close to the enclosure of the antenna and is very far away from the human being under normal use condition.

The measurement uncertainty is less than +/- 2.6dB, which is calculated as per the NAMAS document NIS81. 2. The calibration interval of the above test instruments is 12 months and the calibrations are traceable to NML/ROC and NIST/USA. 4.6.3 TEST PROCEDURE The transmitter output was connected to the spectrum analyzer via a low lose cable. Set both RBW and VBW of spectrum analyzer to 100 kHz with suitable frequency span including 100 kHz bandwidth from band edge. The band edges was measured and recorded. FCC ID: O6M-MW251 Report No.: RF900717R02 43 Issued: August 27, 2001 4.6.4 EUT OPERATING CONDITION Same as Item 4.3.5 4.6.5 TEST RESULTS The spectrum plots are attached on the following 2 pages. D2 line indicates the highest level, D1 line indicates the 20dB offset below D2. It shows compliance with the requirement in part 15.247(C). NOTE: The band edge emission plot on the following 2 pages shows 20.0dB delta between carrier maximum power and local maximum emission in restrict band (2.48391GHz).
