In pursuit of this market, Senet surveyed the available technologies suited to these needs and elected to develop solutions based on a novel radio technology from Semtech marketed under the trademark “LoRa” (http://www.semtech.com/wireless-rf/lora.html). Over time, Senet will deploy a network of LoRa base stations to provide broad wireless coverage to devices which support LoRa modulation and conform to the LoRaWAN 1.0 MAC layer specification. Senet itself will also produce devices under the Enertrac brand which will leverage this network to provide tank monitoring services. In addition to the base station and end devices, the solution consists of a centralized network server which coordinates the MAC layer (addressing and packet delivery) across the entire network and application routers which coordinate network access and application security.

The complete installation checklist is provided below. Aside from the specified optional equipment, changes or modifications to the gateway equipment, including the top and bottom kit, the antennas and filters, not expressly approved by Senet could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. The Senet LoRa Gateway is suitable for mounting in unprotected (unconditioned, outside) areas. The Tower Top Kit is designed to be mounted in close proximity to the primary antenna, on large towers or other tall structures. For cable distances (from Top Kit to Bottom Kit) longer than 100m, kit equipped with DSL extenders is required. Installation will follow local building ordinances and tower installation practices. While the custom cable is relatively light, it must be securely fastened to the structure at regular intervals. 2.3 Operation The Senet LoRa Gateway begins operation as soon as power is applied to the system. Connectivity to the Senet cloud infrastructure (over secure internet tunnels) is required before any receptions are processed or transmissions occur. The gateway initiates these tunnels automatically when internet connectivity is established. Depending on model, this may be accomplished through Ethernet, 4G or 3G backhaul technologies. Successful transition into full operational mode must be confirmed by Senet’s Network Operations staff. Packets received by the Gateway are forwarded to Senet’s cloud infrastructure for processing. 2.4 RF Exposure FCC Rule Part 1.1310 specifies limits for exposure to radio frequency radiation. To maintain compliance with these rules this equipment must be installed such that the installers and operators of this device will not be closer that 22cm to the antenna under normal conditions. Revision 21.2 Gateway Installation and User Manual 6 3 Installation Checklist 3.1 Overview This checklist will serve as a set of requirements and guidelines to fulfill the on-site equipment testing and handling requirements set forth by Senet Inc. Changes or modifications to the gateway equipment, including the top and bottom kit, the antennas and filters, not expressly approved by Senet could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. Regular installation procedures may be followed in conjunction with these procedures. Please initial all steps when complete, scan and email this completed checklist to Network Operations at Senet, Inc. 3.2 Installation site details 3.3 Ground Test To be performed on site prior to tower installation. If the lower box will be using a cellular connection, AND will be mounted indoors, place it indoors where it will be mounted. This is to verify that the cellular internet connection is suitable inside of the building. Otherwise, lower box may be located anywhere for ground test. Connect spool of cable to both upper box and lower box. Ensure that connector is fully latched and properl…

Conducted emissions testing was performed at the system level on the AC input power leads of the bottom tower box. General Test Requirements 1. The measurement procedures of ANSI C63.4:2003 and ANSI C63.10: 2013 were utilized as specified in FCC Part 15, Subpart C, Section 15.31(a)(3) and FCC Guidance for Performing Compliance Measurements on Digital Transmission Systems, June 5, 2014. 2. All radiated emissions measurements were performed on an Open Area Test Site (OATS), listed with the FCC, in accordance with FCC Section 15.31(d). 3. All measurements were performed at the specified 3 meter test distance as required by FCC Section 15.31(f). 4. The EUT was rotated throughout 360 degrees for all radiated emissions measurements as specified in FCC Section 15.31(f)(5). 5. All readily accessible EUT controls were adjusted in such a manner as to maximize the level of emissions in accordance with FCC Section 15.31(g). 6. Appropriate accessories were attached to all EUT ports during the performance of radiated emissions measurements as required by FCC Section 15.31(i). 7. The EUT operated over the frequency range of 902.6 MHz to 927.5 MHz. Testing was performed with the device operating at 3 frequencies, 1 at the top, 1 in the middle and 1 at the bottom of the range of operation in accordance with FCC Section 15.31(m). 8. The frequency spectrum was investigated from the lowest frequency generated in the device up to the 10 th harmonic of the highest fundamental frequency in accordance with FCC Section 15.33(a)(1). 9. The EUT has a Type N antenna port for connection to an omni antenna. The EUT will be installed on top of towers or tall buildings, will always be professionally installed and therefore is not required to have a unique antenna connector. Report No. R-5934N-2, Rev.
