Technical Product Descriptions: Aruba AP 70 Dual-Radio The Aruba AP 70 is the industry's first dual-radio "hybrid" access point providing concurrent operation of 802.11a and 802.11b/g services, as well as secure wired access through an additional Ethernet port. Designed for use exclusively with Aruba Mobility Controllers , the Aruba AP 70 is ideally suited for advanced service delivery in mission-critical networks. This multi-purpose device can function both as an access point and as an RF monitor” either independently or concurrently” across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrums. The Aruba AP 70 supports both a built-in 180 degree rotational omni directional high- gain tri-band antenna as well as support for 2.4 and 5 GHz detachable antennas. Aruba AP 65 Dual-Radio Wireless Access Point The Aruba AP 65 is Aruba’s smallest, dual-radio thin architecture access point providing concurrent operation of 802.11a and 802.11b/g services. Designed for use exclusively with Aruba mobility controllers , with its rear mounted Ethernet interface and integrated ceiling tile rail mounting point, the Aruba 65 is self- contained with a low-profile design ideally suited for discrete deployment applications. This multi-purpose device functions both as an access point and as an RF monitor— either independently or concurrently—across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz spectrums. And supports an integral high-gain antenna for maximum multi-band coverage. Aruba AP 60 and AP 61 Single-Radio Wireless Access Point Ideal for dense AP deployments, the Aruba AP 60 and 61 access points are dual- function, single radio 802.11a or b/g access points designed specifically for use with Aruba mobility controllers . These access points provide dedicated or shared air monitoring, giving administrators a full view of and control over the 2.4 and 5 GHz RF spectrums and eliminating the need for a discrete network of RF sensors. The Aruba AP 60 supports dual-band detachable antennas while the AP 61 provides built-in 90-degree rotational dual omni-directional high-gain antennas.

September 17, 2007 Andrew Leimer [email protected] FCC Application Processing Branch Applicant: Aruba Networks, Inc. FCC ID Q9DAP70SDR Correspondence Reference Number 33780 731 Confirmation Number EA236063 Date of Original E-Mail 09/14/2007 Question: 1) If not in filing already, as part of op desc exhibit, please describe transmit operations of each antenna configuration option (location and type for all antenna elements, diversity, beamforming, MIMO, etc) Response: 1) The Aruba Model AP-70 is shipped from the factory with four integral antennas. These antennas are located in the articulating section shown in Figure 1. \ Figure 1: Integrated Articulating Antennas The factory default setting is for the integrated antennas to be enabled. When operating as a dual radio access point, 2 antennas are assigned to 802.11BG operation and 2 antennas are assigned to 802.11A operation. When using the integrated antennas, the antennas operate in diversity mode with no other modes or antenna assignments possible. The access point also has four RP-SMA connectors, which allow connection of up to 4 external Aruba antennas as described in the filing. When operating as a dual radio access point, 2 of the external antennas are assigned to 802.11BG operation and 2 external antennas are assigned to 802.11A operation. When using the external antenna RP-SMA connectors, the integrated antennas in the articulating panel are disabled. The antennas operate in diversity mode with no other modes or antenna assignments possible. Question: 2) RF exposure exhibit indicates distances closer than 20 cm - note that FCC RF ! exposure limits at closer than 20 cm are in terms of SAR not field strength or power density. Please revise RF exposure exhibit accordingly. Response: 2) The RF exposure exhibit in the test report indicates calculation distances closer than 20cm. However in the same page of the report under Note: in the Specification, Maximum Permissible Exposure Limits it specifies that the “minimum separation distance is 20cm”, see highlighted area below. Specification Maximum Permissible Exposure Limits Devices are subject to the radio frequency radiation exposure requirements specified in §1.1307 (b), 2.1091 and 2.1093 as appropriate. All equipment shall be considered to operate in a “general population/uncontrolled” environment. Limit S = 1mW / cm 2 from 1.310 Table 1 Note: for mobile or fixed location transmitters the minimum separation distance is 20cm, even if calculations indicate the MPE distance to be less. It is understood that this presentation may be subject to misinterpretation and therefore MiCOM Labs will amend how it reports the 20cm limit. Question: 3) Submit an expanded plot of the Channel Closing Transmission Time. The scale should not exceed 600 ms. The purpose of this is to show that all data packets stop within 200 ms. The second requirement is that the control signals must not exceed 60ms total over the 10 second period after the radar signal ends. Your plot meets this requirement but I cannot distinguish between packets and control signals without the expanded plot. Response: The plot identifying the Channel Closing Transmission Time in Section 6.2.5 In- Service Monitoring etc. is only to be used as back-up information as this does not provide sufficient information. The digitized data extracted from the plot identifying the exact on/off time during the Channel Closing Time is real time and precise. Should control and data packets be required to be differentiated this can be achieved through the data provided. Not sure how control and data signals can be differentiated, if this is possible please advise. The NTIA were satisfied with MiCOM Labs DFS test and reporting methodology and this has not changed.
