Boomer II User Manual & Integrator’s Guide ____________________________________________ Integrator’s Task BM210012WT25 23 Wavenet Technology Regulatory Requirements You are required to obtain regulatory approval of products that integrate the Boomer II OEM wireless modem into a host device or terminal. The specific details for achieving regulatory approval vary from country to country. Worldwide, government regulatory agencies for communications have established standards and requirements for products that incorporate fixed, mobile, and portable radio transmitters. The Boomer-II OEM modem is certified in specific regional markets to levels of compliance appropriate for an integrated device. Modem Only Certification The non-integrated modem meets the regulatory requirements for the countries listed below (but related certification does not necessarily exist): Country Regulation Agency Modem Model Related Requirements Approval Number Australia Australian Communications Authority (ACA) Boomer-II FCC compliance is accepted In process Canada Industry Canada (IC) Boomer-II RSS119 – Radio Performance In process United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Boomer-II FCC CFR Title 47, Part 15 Conducted and Emitted Radiation Class B FCC Part 90 – Radio Performance In process Full Product Certification As the integrator, you must determine what additional specific regulatory requirements are required for the country in which your product is sold. This means, your product must be individually certified, even though the Boomer II OEM Modem Module may already be approved. The certification process includes submittal of prototype products and acceptable test results. Integrators can use Boomer II OEM Modem Module certifications to facilitate this integrated-product approval process. Upon request, Wavenet can send copies of the certifications and related information. Be prepared for the certification process for your product to take from a few weeks to several months. Its duration can be affected by safety requirements, the type of product, and the country in which you are seeking approval. Country Requirements The country requirements given below are provided as a general guide to the certification processes in the regions and countries given. You are strongly encouraged to use the services of a consultant or a full- Integrator’s Task ____________________________________________ Boomer II User Manual & Integrator’s Guide Wavenet Technology 24 BM210012WT25 service test house if you have limited expertise in meeting the regulatory requirements of a specific country. All certification tests must be made by a qualified laboratory to ensure that the equipment complies with the applicable technical standards. United States of America The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires application for certification of digital devices in accordance with CFR Title 47, Part 2 and Part 15. A Wavenet Boomer-II OEM Modem Module is part of a complete system and certain testing is necessary for the integrated product. FCC Part 15, Class B certification must be performed with the maximum configuration use and include all peripherals of the integrated product. The application for certification must refer to the approval data on file for the particular Boomer-II Modem Module, as shown in the following example. Include the following language in user documentation inserting the name of the integrated product in place of xxx below: “The Wavenet Boomer-II OEM modem module is a subassembly of xxx and has FCC Identifier PQS-BM28001” (or PQS-BM29001 as appropriate) FCC Part 2 certification requires all integrated products to have routine environmental evaluation for radio-frequency (RF) exposure prior to equipment authorization or use in accordance with FCC rules 2.1091 and 2.1093 and FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, OET Bulletin 65 and its Supplement C. For “portable devices”, defined in accordance with FCC rules as transmitting devices designed to be used within 20 cm of the user body under normal operating conditions, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing must be performed. An exposure limit of 1.6 W/kg will apply to most OEM integrated applications. For “mobile or fixed devices”, defined as transmitting devices designed to be generally used such that a separation distance of at least 20 cm is maintained between the body of the user and the transmitting radiated structure, Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits may be used with field strength or power density limit of 0.54 mW/cm2 (at 806 MHz). Wavenet submitted module specific information and test reports for generic MPE compliance. The antennae used for FCC certification were: ‰ For the 800 MHz modem: Radiall/Larsen - Whip Standard ¼ wave SPWH20832 ‰ For the 900 MHz modem: Radiall/Larsen - Whip Standard ¼ wave SPWH20918 Boomer II User Manual & Integrator’s Guide ____________________________________________ Integrator’s Task BM210012WT25 25 Wavenet Technology If the Boomer-II OEM Modem Module is used in a mobile or fixed application and if the integrator uses one of the above antennae with an antenna lead length exceeding 150mm, the MPE limits will not be exceeded. In this case following clause should be included in installation and user documentation: "To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements a separation distance of 30 cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended." If a different antenna is used to that which was tested by Wavenet for FCC approval, then the integrated product must be re-tested as a complete unit and submitted with its own FCC ID. It is mandatory for portable integrated products such as handheld and body-worn devices to comply with FCC RF radiation requirements with respect to the SAR limit. The submission should include end product information, end product SAR/M…

Note that in the case of a very fast transition between voltages, it may take up to 20 seconds for the modem to confirm a change in battery status. Message Waiting The Message waiting signal is held active low whenever there is at least one complete message waiting in the outbound buffers (including the reread buffer). In-Range The In Range signal is held active low whenever the modem is in range. It tracks the function of the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signal. Selecting & Positioning the Antenna Use this information to assist you in selecting the appropriate antenna to incorporate into your product package. For specific detailed information, Wavenet recommends that you use the expertise of an antenna design engineer to solve individual application concerns. Antenna Safety The design of the integrated product must be such that the location used and other particulars of the antenna comply with the appropriate standards of the country in which the host device or terminal is to be used. The integrator should refer to the statement of Compliance on page 12 of this manual and Regulatory Requirements section on pages 23-27 for country requirements. Mobile and Portable Devices In the environment where portable devices are in use, many variables exist that can affect the transmission path. In this case, it would be preferable to use a vertically polarized, omni directional antenna. Antennas for portable devices include the following designs: Internal antenna (invisible or pull-up) An internal antenna must provide a gain sufficient to meet network specifications. Cable routing from the modem to the antenna needs to avoid RF sensitive circuits and high level, high-speed clock circuits. Consider: ‰ The location of the antenna to avoid RFI to a computing device. ‰ Good shielding to the display and other RF-sensitive components ‰ The most efficient method of cable routing Otherwise, antenna gain can be offset by cable loss. A typical coaxial cable is very thin, such as RG178B used in portable devices, and cable loss can be 1dB or more per metre. Some coaxial cable manufacturers Boomer II User Manual & Integrator’s Guide _________________________________________________Installation BM210012WT25 41 Wavenet Technology market relatively thin double braid coaxial cables. These cables show much better isolation than single braid cables, typically by 30 to 40dB. These double braid cables reduce radiation and RF pick-up when routed inside a portable device. External antenna, removable and directly connected to the device You can design a portable device that can use an off-the-shelf, plug-in antenna, such as a ¼ wave monopole or ½ wave dipole antenna. Typical gain of these omni directional antennas is 0dBi and 2.14dBi, respectively. Cabling demands the same consideration as an internal antenna application. In a typical laptop application, the antenna must be placed as far as possible from a display to avoid deflection. This usually causes a deep null in radiation patterns. External, remote antenna For remote antenna application use the same design approach as internal designs, including the RF cable routing of the external connector. You can choose an off-the-shelf mobile antenna of omni directional ½ wave length. A double braid coaxial cable such as RG223 from the device to the antenna is recommended if the cable length is more than a metre. The difference in cable loss between low cost RG58 and the more expensive RG223 is approximately 4.5dB per 30 metres. If the cable must be routed through noisy EMI/RFI environments, a double braid cable such as RG223 can reduce radiation and pick-up by 30 to 40dB. Fixed Devices Fixed data device applications use the same design recommendations as a portable device with a remote antenna. As for the RF connector of an external antenna, whether it is a plug-in type or a remote type, the most economical and practical choice is a TNC threaded connector. TNC has a good frequency response to 7GHz, and leakage is low. A mini UHF threaded connector provides adequate performance and is an economical choice. If the size of the TNC and mini UHF connectors becomes critical, consider an SMA threaded connector or an SMB snap fit connector. (The SMB connector does not accept an RG58 or RG223 cable). Selecting an Antenna The requirements for the antenna used with the Boomer II OEM Modem are: Antenna Gain: 3 dBi (isotropic) maximum if module FCC approvals are to be used. Impedance: 50Ω Centre Frequency: 833MHz ± 5MHz Installation_________________________________________________ Boomer II User Manual & Integrator’s Guide Wavenet Technology 42 BM210012WT25 Frequencies of operation: 806 to 825MHz (transmit) 851 to 870MHz (receive) Acceptable return loss: VSWR < 1.5 or RL < -14dB (recommended) VSWR < 2.0 or RL < -10dB (minimum) The power output of the Boomer II OEM Modem is nominally 1.8W at the antenna port. The antenna gain or loss will affect this value. Connecting the Antenna The Boomer II OEM Modem Module provides an MMCX RF connector located at the top of the unit, to attach to the antenna cable. The antenna does not plug directly into the modem but uses an antenna cable to interface between the device and the modem. The antenna cable should be a low loss, 50Ω impedance and have a MMCX plug that can mate with the modem’s MMCX socket (82MMCX-S50-0-2). It is recommended that a Huber+Suhner connector be used to connect to the modem as below: ‰ 11 MMCX Straight Connector ‰ 16 MMCX Right Angle Connector If an extension cable is required to the antenna, it should be low loss, as short as possible and an impedance of 50 ohms. Proper matching connectors should be used, as each connector introduces a return loss and reduces performance. Positi…
