Limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) 1.2 EUT Description The Smartsynch FCC ID: QHC-OPENWAY1X is a Smartmeter containing an Itron Zigbee module (separately certified under FCC ID: SK9AMI-4) and a CDMA module (separately certified under FCC ID: IHDP56JE1). For this MPE evaluation the device is set to transmit from the antenna of each transmitter and the RF exposure of each transmitter is evaluated individually. EUT: Model: SSI Openway 1X Grantee: SmartSynch Inc. FCC ID: QHC-OPENWAY1X Internal Antenna Gains: 1.5dBi – Cellular, 3.0dBi – PCS and 4.4dBi – 2.4GHz Zigbee Transmitter The SSI Openway 1X is standard with internal antennas for the CDMA module and Zigbee module. However there is option for the CDMA module to be fitted with with an external antenna. The maximum gain antenna is determined in this report.
