Northwest EMC TCB Approval Opinion Revision 05//02 RAFN0041 Information about the Applicant Applicant: Radioframe Networks, Inc. Address: 1120 112th Ave NE, Suite 600 City, State, Zip Bellevue, WA 98004 Test Requested By: Steve Peters Model: MC-15 FCC ID: PURMCSERIES10 Agent Radioframe Networks, Inc. Approval Type Certification Equipment Type Microcell cellular base station for iDEN radio. Rule Part 90.691 Overview This Base station operates in the 850 MHz ESMR Cellular service. See cover letter from applicant for further details. Findings Finding Cover Letter Please provide a cover letter that briefly describes the radio (e.g. Model 41233, 802.11(b) access point), the type of equipment approval that is being sought (e.g. Class II permissive change, or original certification), and the applicable rule parts. Also include any product specific FCC interpretations you may have received. Resolution A cover letter has been provided. Finding 47 Cfr 2.1033(C)(5) A block diagram showing the frequency of all oscillators in the device. The signal path and frequency shall be indicated at each block. The tuning range(s) and intermediate frequency(ies) shall be indicated at each block. A schematic diagram is also required for intentional radiators. The Block diagram meeting the requirements above has not been received. Resolution A block diagram has been provided Finding 47 Cfr 2.1033(c)9) Tune-up procedure over the power range, or at specific operating power levels. The Tune-up procedures are not in the package of information we have. Resolution An Installation Guide has been provided. Finding 47 Cfr 2.1033(C)(10) A schematic diagram and a description of all circuitry and devices provided for determining and stabilizing frequency, for suppression of spurious radiation, for limiting modulation, and for limiting power. The schematics appear to be incomplete. Resolution Schematics have been provided Northwest EMC TCB Approval Opinion Revision 05//02 RAFN0041 Finding 47 Cfr 2.1033(c)(10) Photographs (8x10) of the equipment of sufficient clarity to reveal equipment construction and layout, including meters, if any, and labels for controls and meters and sufficient views of the internal construction to define component placement and chassis assembly. Insofar as these requirements are met by photographs or drawings contained in instruction manuals supplied with the certification request, additional photographs are necessary only to complete the required showing. Please identify the radio on the photos and provide photos with the shields removed. Resolution Photographs have been provided Finding 47 Cfr 2.1033(c)(13) For equipment employing digital modulation techniques, a detailed description of the modulation system to be used, including the response characteristics (frequency, phase and amplitude) of any filters provided, and a description of the modulating wavetrain, shall be submitted for the maximum rated conditions under which the equipment will be operated. Please provide the required exhibit Resolution A theory of operation exhibit has been provided with this information included Finding 47 Cfr 15,21 The users manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Could not locate statement in the manual provided Resolution A new user manual has been provided with the required information. Finding RF Exposure Exhibit • Incorrectly cited 15.247(b)(5) as the RF Exposure Requirement. • The maximum peak conducted power found in the test report is 22.2 dBm = 166 mW (see page 44 of 122 in Report-RAFN0042.pdf). Since the antenna gain in the RF exposure exhibit is declared to be 0 dBi, then the maximum peak radiated power would be 22.2 dBm EIRP • Table 1.1310 defines the general population limit as f/1500 = 0.567 mW/cm^2 (where f = 851 MHz) Not 1 mW/cm^2 • RF Estimates are incorrect. Notice that it does not demonstrate compliance. Resolution A new RF Exposure exhibit has been provided. Recommendation All items have been resolved and completed to my satisfaction; therefore I recommend this application for approval.

Compliance with 47 CFR 2.1091 The EUT will be professionally installed and can only be used with a separation distance of 25centimeters or greater between the antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons and can therefore be considered a mobile transmitter per 47CFR 2.1091 (b). The EUT has six antenna ports. Three antenna ports are for transmit and three for receive. The Base Station can accommodate 24 radios for a total and can be configured for either 3 sectors with 8 iDEN transmitters (FCC ID: PURMCSERIES10) per sector or an Omni system with 20 iDEN transmitters (FCC ID: PURMCSERIES10). The maximum peak power was measured to be 166 mW (EIRP) per channel for FCC ID: PURMCSERIES10. The EUT meets the requirement that it will be operated in a manner that ensures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission’s guidelines (ref. 47 CFR 1.1307, 1.1310, 2.1091 and 2.1093. also OET Bulletin 65, Supplement C). The MPE estimates are as follows: Table 1 in 47 CFR 1.1310 defines the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) for the general population as (f/1500) mW/cm 2 . The exposure level at a 25 cm distance from the EUT’s transmitting antenna is calculated using the general equation: S = (PG)/4πR 2 Where: S = power density (mW/cm 2 ) P = power input to the antenna (mW) G = numeric power gain relative to an isotropic radiator R = distance to the center of the radiation of the antenna (25 cm = distance for MPE estimates) PG = EIRP Solving for S, the maximum power densities 25 cm from the transmitting antennas are summarized in the following tables: MPE Estimates for Self Co-located Device Antenna Type Antenna Part No. Transmit Frequency Max Peak Conducted Output Power Antenna Gain Minimum Antenna Cable Loss Power Density @ 25 cm General Population Exposure Limit from 1.1310 Ratio of Power Density to the Exposure Limit (MHz)(mW)(dBi)(dB) (mW/cm 2 )(mW/cm 2 ) Omni860166000.0210.5673333330.037 Worst Case Ratio of Power Density to the Exposure Limit = 0.058 Per Note 24 shown below, the Sum of Worst Case Power Ratios cannot exceed 1.0 iDEN Radio Worst Case Ratio of Power Density to the Exposure Limit Maximum Number of co - located Radios Sum of Worst Case Ratios (Power Density to the Exposure Limit) FCC Limit for Sum of Worst Case Ratios 0.03725200.745091.0PASS iDEN Radio FCC ID: PURMCSERIES10 Worst Case Co-located Exposure Condition Excerpts from TCB Training, April 3, 2002, “Mobile Transmitters”, Slide 6: “Devices operating in multiple frequency bands ‰ When RF exposure evaluation is required for TCB approval o Separate antennas – estimated minimum separation distances may be considered for the frequency bands that do not require evaluation or TCB approval, however, the estimated distance should take into account the effect of co-located transmitters. (Note 24) Note 24 According to multiple frequency exposure criteria, the ratio of field strength or power density to the applicable exposure limit at the exposure location should be determined for each transmitter and the sum of these ratios must not exceed 1.0 for the location to be compliant .” The sum of the worst case ratio of power density to the exposure limit is less than 1.0. Therefore, the co-location configuration is compliant.
