SQB-NIVISNRD20101RF MODEM Module

August 7,2006 Dear Application Examiner Regarding Part 15 Unlicensed Modular Transmitter Approval, the following requirements called out in FCC Public Notice DA 00-1407 are observed: 1) The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. This is intended to ensure that the module does not have to rely upon the shielding provided by the device into which it is installed in order for all modular transmitter emissions to comply with Part 15 limits. It is also intended to prevent coupling between the RF circuitry of the module and any wires or circuits in the device into which the module is installed. Such coupling may result in non-compliant operation. The Nivis RF IC-NRD2-01-01 is a completely self contained radio which has its own RF shielding on the RF section. No other RF shielding is required or implemented. 2) The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. The Nivis RF IC-NRD2-01-01 is a completely self contained radio which modulates its own RF transmitter. It controls the data flow to the transmitter section compliant with Part 15 requirements. 3) The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. This is intended to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements regardless of the design of the power supplying circuitry in the device into which the module is installed. The power supply regulation for the RF IC-NRD2-01-01 is handled on the RF Module. The input voltage to the transmitter is controlled on this RF IC-NRD2-01-01 through circuitry, which is fixed. 4) The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a “unique” antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). Any antenna used with the module must be approved with the module, either at the time of initial authorization or through a Class II permissive change. The “professional installation” provision of Section 15.203 may not be applied to modules. The Nivis RF IC-NRD2-01-01 employs a reverse SMA antenna connector. 5) The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in Section 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see Section 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified or commercially available (see Section 15.31(i)). The Nivis RF IC-NRD2-01-01 was tested as a standalone unit 6) The modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC ID number, and, if the FCC ID is not visible when the module is installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: XYZMODEL1” or “Contains FCC ID: XYZMODEL1.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. The Nivis RF IC-NRD2-01-01 consists of a printed circuit board, which is labeled with the FCC identification number. This PCB can be mounted in a host of devices and each device that this PCB utilizes will have the FCC ID number visible to the consumer. Page 17 7) The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. The Nivis RF IC-NRD2-01-01 comes equipped with embedded firmware that controls these parameters. 8) The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 2.1091, 2.1093 and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition, spread spectrum transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure compliance in accordance with Section 15.247(b)(4). Modular transmitters approved under other Sections of Part 15, when necessary, may also need to address certain RF Exposure concerns, typically by providing specific installation and operating instructions for users, installers and other interested parties to ens…

Below is my response to your comments on this application. I have included your original comments in my response. After a review of the submitted information, I have a few comments on the above referenced Application. Depending on your responses, kindly understand there may be additional comments. Additionally, if some of the issues / concerns below are not clear, please do not hesitate to email me for clarification. 1: The request for confidentiality letter is requesting confidentiality for the user manual. Typically user manuals are not held confidential without prior approval from the FCC. If you wish the manual to be confidential until product release, you may request temporary confidentiality. (see the ATCB web site for more on temp confidentiality http://www.atcb.com/publicdocs/Memo-Short- Term-Vs-Standard-Confidentiality-031306.pdf ) Note that the confidentiality request letter in the test report has removed the reference to the user manual. Please provide a separate exhibit with the reference to the user manual removed. Due to the nature of information within the Integrators Guide, it is requested that you place this document under confidential status, as has been done in previous applications. 2 Please provide photos of the unit with all the shields removed. Internal Photos corrected and uploaded. 3 MPE estimate refers to 27.52 dBm EIRP, Calculation indicates 22.59dBm EIRP (Though the value in mW is correct) Please correct. Corrected and Uploaded. 4 The MPE estimate must take into the account the maximum allowed antenna gain that will be allowed to be used with the module. Please revise the MPE estimate to include antenna gain. After request for confirmation, Nivis notified us that the antenna is a 2 dBi gain antenna, not Unity gain (0 dBi). The report sections have been corrected to represent that all data was taken using the 2dBi gain antenna, including Antenna Description and MPE estimate. 5 Please provide a data sheet for the antenna that is to be approved for use with this module. Uploaded 3505 Francis Circle Alpharetta, GA 30004 PH: 770-740-0717 Fax: 770-740-1508 www.ustech-lab.com 6: Please provide data to support the average time of occupancy test results. It is Nivis’ intention to run the duty cycle at 400ms/20s. Do you require a letter confirming this? 7: Please remove section 2.17, Page 111 since it is not required and conflicts with the statements in section 2.14 (page 104 - 107) Section 2.17 was corrected to reflect the results in 2.14 8 Please provide a sample hopping sequence for this device or provide the algorithm that outlines how the hopping sequence is generated. The hopping sequence/channel assignment is listed under upload “06-0105.Frequency Hop Table”. Looking at it, I realize that it may be confusing since Nivis follows a sequential Hop sequence using the channel numbers (Channel 0, 1, 2, 3, 4). Therefore, I have uploaded another sequence which compares the channel order to frequency assignment.(“06-0105.Channel/Frequency Hop Sequence”). I have noted that channels 1-2 and 32-33 are sequential frequencies. Is this a problem? 9 Please confirm that the intended receiver hops in sync with the transmitter. This statement is confirmation that the intended receiver hops in sync with the transmitter. 10 Please provide an exhibit showing where the FCC label will be located on the device. The label will be located on the shielding. An exhibit has been uploaded. FYI: While compliance does not appear to be an issue, in the future please measure the 20 dB BW to the widest 20dB points (See Low and mid channel vs High channel measurement) Noted. Please contact me with any further questions. Sincerely, Louis A. Feudi Vice President of Operations and Engineering
