Grant Notes
Modular approval. Output power listed is conducted. This module may only be installed by the OEM or an OEM integrator. Operations in 5.15-5.25 GHz and 5.47-5.725 GHz bands are for indoor use only. Device operates with specific antennas in MIMO configurations as described in this filing. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter within a host device, except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. Grantee must coordinate with OEM integrators to determine applicable host configurations to ensure RF exposure compliance.
