Introduction WN4401C is an industrial miniPCI Card which enables wireless networking systems to attain data transmission speeds at least up to 54 megabits-per-second (Mbps), while remaining backward compatible to the existing installed base of over 15 million Wi-Fi systems worldwide. It supports operation to both the IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g standards. WN4401C will enable a next generation of high-data-rate platforms for operation in the 2.4 GHz band that deliver a five-fold speed increase. It is fully IEEE 802.11g standard compliant, and uses prioritization algorithms and enhanced protection mechanisms to significantly increase pure 802.11g as well as mixed-mode network performance. The cost and performance advantages will make it an ideal solution for high bandwidth enterprise applications, such as wireless video conferencing and large file transfers, as well as advanced home networking applications such as multi-channel CD-quality audio and DVD-quality video streaming. WN4401C incorporates the 802.11g Standard's mandatory modulation schemes—Complementary Code Keying (CCK), which is used in 802.11b, and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), used in 802.11g. Using CCK ensures backward-compatibility with the installed Wi-Fi 802.11b base, while OFDM provides the speed required for today's high-bandwidth applications. 1.1 Product Features ♦ High speed for wireless LAN connection, up to 54 Mbps data rate. ♦ Extended Range feature supported ♦ Backward compatible to the existing IEEE 802.11b WLAN infrastructure. ♦ An user-friendly utility to configure SSID, security setup and site survey. ♦ Wireless data encryption using WEP 64, 128-bit encryption for security. ♦ Support for WPA and Wi-Fi, WPA2 upgradeable ♦ Built-in Hirose antenna connectors. ♦ Firmware upgrade-able by only changing driver. 1.2 Applications ♦ Home networking for device sharing. ♦ Wireless multimedia. ♦ Wireless office for extension Ethernet range. ♦ Mobile networking for notebook PC, PDA, Web Pad or Wireless Gateway Built-in Application.

ISSUED BY: Advance Data Technology Corporation LAB LOCATION: No. 81-1, Lu Liao Keng, 9 Ling, Wu Lung Tsuen, Chiung Lin Hsiang, Hsin Chu Hsien, Taiwan, R.O.C. FCC ID: RAXWN4401C1 Report No.: SA940324H01 2 RF Exposure Measurement 1. Introduction In this document, we try to prove the safety of radiation harmfulness to the human body for our product. The limit for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) specified in FCC 1.1310 is followed. The Gain of the antenna used in this product is measured in a Fully Anechoic Chamber (FAC) calibrated for antenna measurement in ADT, and also the maximum total power input to the antenna is measured. Through the Friis transmission formula and the maximum gain of the antenna, we can calculate the distance, away from the product, where the limit of MPE is reached. Although the Friis transmission formula is a far field assumption, the calculated result of that is an over-prediction for near field power density. We will take that as the worst case to specify the safety range. 2. RF Exposure Limit According to FCC 1.1310: The criteria listed in the following table shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation as specified in 1.1307(b) LIMITS FOR MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) Frequency Range (MHz) Electric Field Strength (V/m) Magnetic Field Strength (A/m) Power Density (mW/cm 2 ) Average Time (minutes) (A)Limits For Occupational / Control Exposures 300-1500......F/3006 1500-100,000......56 (B)Limits For General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 300-1500......F/15006 1500-100,000......1.030 F = Frequency in MHz FCC ID: RAXWN4401C1 Report No.: SA940324H01 3 3. Friis Formula Friis transmission formula : Pd = (Pout*G) / (4*pi*r 2 ) where Pd = power density in mW/cm 2 Pout = output power to antenna in mW G = gain of antenna in linear scale Pi = 3.1416 R = distance between observation point and center of the radiator in cm Pd is the limit of MPE, 1 mW/cm 2 . If we know the maximum Gain of the antenna and the total power input to the antenna, through the calculation, we will know the MPE value at distance 20cm. Ref. : David K. Cheng, Field and Wave Electromagnetics, Second Edition, Page 640, Eq. (11-133). 4. EUT Operating condition The software provided by Manufacturer enabled the EUT to transmit and receive data at lowest, middle and highest channel individually. 5. Classification The antenna of this product, under normal use condition, is at least 20cm away from the body of the user. Warning statement to the user for keeping at least 20cm or more separation distance with the antenna should be included in users manual. So, this device is classified as Mobile Device.
