Professional Installation Justification for Wireless Highways 1) Marketing - The Wireless Highways’ device will not be sold retail to the general public or by mail order. It will always be sold to dealers, or industrial and commercial users. 2) Requirements of professional installation - The installation of the device will be controlled so that it is always done by licensed professionals. - The installation requires special training to adjust a set of parameter values and to measure the field strength. - There are simply too many parameters that need to be adjusted for it to work properly. - The use of high gain antennas with narrow beam patterns, usually separated by more than several miles, requires a trained professional to perform proper sighting. This is in contrast to typical Wi-Fi devices. 3) Application - The intended use of the device is generally not for the general public. It is generally for industry or commercial use, e.g. Wireless Internet Providers (WISPs), and telephone companies for their backhaul.

Document 8837-MPE FCC ID: THQ-PC701 RF Exposure Evaluation Washington Laboratories, Ltd October 2005 Maximum Permissible Exposure Evaluation for Wireless Highways, Inc PC701 FCC ID: THQ-PC701 October 24, 2005 WLL PROJECT #: 8837 This report may not be reproduced, except in full, without the prior written consent of Washington Laboratories, Ltd. RF Exposure Evaluation Document 8837-MPE FCC ID: THQ-PC701 RF Exposure Test Report Washington Laboratories, Ltd October 2005 1 Maximum Permissible Exposure Evaluation for FCC ID: THQ-PC701 1.0 Introduction This report has been prepared on behalf of Wireless Highways, Inc. Model: PC-701 Transmitter to show compliance with the RF exposure requirements as defined in FCC §1.1307. 1.1 Requirements Three different categories of transmitters are defined by the FCC in OET Bulletin 65. These categories are fixed installation, mobile, and portable and are defined as follows: ƒ Fixed Installations: fixed location means that the device, including its antenna, is physically secured at a permanent location and is not able to be easily moved to another location. Additionally, distance to humans from the antenna is typically maintained to at least 2 meters. ƒ Mobile Devices: a mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed locations and to be generally used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons. Transmitters designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be easily re-located, such as a wireless modem operating in a laptop computer, are considered mobile devices if they meet the 20 centimeter separation requirement. The FCC rules for evaluating mobile devices for RF compliance are found in 47 CFR §2.1091. ƒ Portable Devices: a portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user. Portable device requirements are found in Section 2.1093 of the FCC's Rules (47 CFR§2.1093). For this test report the Wireless Highways, Inc. PC-701 is classified as a “Fixed Installation Device” and therefore must meet the limits as specified in §1.1307. The FCC also categorizes the use of the device as based upon the user’s awareness and ability to exercise control over his or her exposure. The two categories defined are Occupational/ Controlled Exposure and General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure. These two categories are defined as follows: Document 8837-MPE FCC ID: THQ-PC701 RF Exposure Test Report Washington Laboratories, Ltd October 2005 2 ƒ Occupational/Controlled Exposure: In general, occupational/controlled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, who have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This exposure category is also applicable when the exposure is of a transient nature due to incidental passage through a location where the exposure levels may be higher than the general population/uncontrolled limits, but the exposed person is fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means. Awareness of the potential for RF exposure in a workplace or similar environment can be provided through specific training as part of a RF safety program. If appropriate, warning signs and labels can also be used to establish such awareness by providing prominent information on the risk of potential exposure and instructions on methods to minimize such exposure risks. ƒ General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure: The general population / uncontrolled exposure limits are applicable to situations in which the general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Members of the general public would come under this category when exposure is not employment-related; for example, in the case of a wireless transmitter that exposes persons in its vicinity. Warning labels placed on low-power consumer devices such as cellular telephones are not considered sufficient to allow the device to be considered under the occupational/controlled category, and the general population/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to these devices. Although the PC-701 is professionally installed there are no warnings and no special training associated with this unit in terms of RF hazards. The Wireless Highways, Inc. PC-701 is therefore evaluated to the General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure limits. 1.2 Radio Frequency Radiation Exposure Evaluation The highest RF output power of the unit was measured at 11.56dBm at 5750MHz. According to §1.1310 of the FCC rules, the power density limit for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure is 1mW/cm 2 . To comply with the exposure limits for this section, individuals must maintain a safe distance from the transmit antenna. The following formula was used to calculate the minimum safe distance: 2 4R PG S π = Where: S = Power Density P = Output Power at the Antenna Terminals G = Gain of Transmit Antenna (linear gain) R = Distance from Transmitting Antenna Document 8837-MPE FCC ID: THQ-PC701 RF Exposure Test Report Washington Laboratories, Ltd October 2005 3 For this device, the calculation is as follows: S = FCC Limit = 1mW/cm 2 P = Output Power = 14.32 mW G = Worst Case Gain = 22.5 dBi = INVLOG(22.5/10) = 177.83 R = Based on 20cm S = {(14.32mW)(177.83}/{(12.56)(20cm 2 )} = 0.507mW/cm 2 This power density is the worst case for maximum beam exposure at a separation distance of 20cm. This level is below the limit of 1mW/cm 2 MPE for general population/uncontrolled access. This unit is only installed by professionals…
