The local oscillator used internally for the upconversion is 674 MHz for the TR700B and 665.625 MHz for the TR700B-IF1. The firmware is also different because of the local oscillator change.

T HE VC OM TR700B 700 MH Z S UBSCRIBER T RANSCEIVER The VCom TR700Bis a UHF Transceiver for use in broadband wireless networks. The TR700B integrates an up-converter, a power amplifier, RF and IF diplexers to provide a single unit solution for two-way wireless RF communications. The TR700B circuitry is field hardened over a broad temperature range and is contained in weather proof housing. The unit is ready to mount next to and connect directly to an antenna. The TR700B is then connected to an indoor modem by standard low cost RG-59 cable. The transceiver is configured to work with standard DOCSIS TM cable modem frequency plans and levels, permitting direct connection. The transceiver also includes an RF mute function to reduce power consumption and broadband noise emissions. br_tr700b_01 (Nov 2003) Features - Benefits • High gain and compression - allows for high system gain for N-LOS • Embedded microprocessor control - guarantees performance • Unique VCom design - lowers cost without performance reduction • Automatic transmit RF mute - reduces power consumption - eliminates noise accumulation • Fully weatherized enclosure - allows installation to be either indoor or outdoor VCom Inc.

RF Safety Exhibit Revision: 01 Date: 09 Mar 2004 Equipment: VCom TR700B 700 MHz Transceiver FCC ID: OPPTR700B For radio transmitters in the 698 to 746 MHz band, paragraph 1.1310 limits maximum permissible exposure (MPE) to (f in MHz/1500) mW/cm 2 or 0.473 mW/cm 2 considering our lowest operating frequency of 710 MHz for uncontrolled environments. The maximum safe distance from the antenna at which MPE is met or exceeded is calculated from the equation relating field strength in V/m, transmit power in Watts, transmit antenna gain, and separation distance in meters: Basis of calculations (FCC OET bulletin 65, 97-01, August 1997): Power Density [W/m 2 ]= EIRP [Watts]/(4*pi*(distance[m])^2) Safe Distance meters for 0.473mW/cm 2 MPE = 0.1297*(EIRP Watts )^0.5 Transceiver Power [Watts] [dBm] Antenna Type Antenna Gain [dBi] Safe Distance [meters] 0.25 +24 Yagi 10 dBi 0.206 0.25 +24 Flat planar array 9 dBi 0.183 0.25 +24 Window mount planar array 7 dBi 0.146 Installation Requirements: The TR700B is used with a user-supplied antenna. A self-adhesive RF exposure label is supplied with each TR700B unit for the user to affix to their antenna. Installation of the TR700B and affixing of the RF exposure label to the antenna is described in the user manual, which is supplied with each TR700B. See section 2.2.2 on page 9 of “INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE FOR SYSTEM OPERATORS” The following statement is included in the user manual and on the label to be attached to the antenna: “CAUTION: To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements in section 1.1307, a minimum separation distance of 1.5 meters is required between this antenna and all persons.”
