u-blox AG Zuercherstrasse 68, Thalwil Ch-8800, Switzerland RE FCC ID: XPYNORAB12 To the certification reviewer: We are hereby applying for [full] modular approval of the above-referenced FCC ID, based on compliance with [all] of the criteria as detailed below. Sincerely, [Cam Nichols] [Principal Engineer] Part 15 Unlicensed Single Modular Transmitter Approval Justification per 15.212 Requirement per 15.212 reference (i) The radio elements of the modular transmitter must have their own RF shielding. Shielding is provided by a metal cover over the circuitry. (ii) The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided. All modulation and data inputs are buffered by circuitry on the transmitter chip. (iii) The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. Power supply regulation is provided by circuitry on the transmitter chip. (iv) The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna and transmission system requirements of §§ 15.203, 15.204(b) and 15.204(c). The antenna is fixed. (v) The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing for compliance with Part 15 parameters. Testing was performed in a stand-alone configuration as shown in the test setup photos. (vi) The modular transmitter must be equipped with either a permanently affixed label or must be capable of electronically displaying its FCC identification number. 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. The modular was labeled with its own FCC ID. The outside of device in to which the module is installed will labeled Contains TX FCC ID: XPYNORAB12, Please refer to User Manual. u-blox AG Zuercherstrasse 68, Thalwil Ch-8800, Switzerland (vii) The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rules or operating requirements that ordinarily apply to a complete 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. The modular is comply with all applicable FCC rules. Any modifications, not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the authority to operate in these regions. (viii) The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements in its final configuration. This module operates under Part 15 .247 which is exempt from RF exposure evaluation owing to the very low operating power.

EVALUATION METHOD AND LIMIT Human exposure to RF emissions from mobile devices (47 CFR §2.1091) may be evaluated based on the MPE limits adopted by the FCC for electric and magnetic field strength and/or power density, as appropriate, since exposures are assumed to occur at distances of 20 cm or more from persons.

The averaging time for General Population/Uncontrolled exposure to fixed transmitters is not applicable for mobile and portable transmitters.

S=PG/4πR² Where: S=power density P=power input to antenna G=power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator R=distance to the center of radiation of the antenna 3. CALCULATION A minimum test separation distance ≥ 20 cm is required between the antenna and radiating structures of the device and nearby persons to apply mobile device exposure limits. The distance must be at least 20 cm and fully supported by the operating and installation configurations of the transmitter and its antenna(s), according to the source-based time-averaged maximum power requirements of § 2.1091(d)(2). In cases where cable losses or other attenuations are applied to determine compliance, the most conservative operating configurations and exposure conditions must be evaluated.

SPE-17-8-090/A/IC Page 1 of 31 Specification Part No. : WCM.01.0111 Product Name: : 2.4GHz Button Antenna Features : Tiny Size – 19.8mm*14.3mm*16.4mm 2400MHz to 2500MHz Antenna Wi-Fi / Bluetooth >60% Efficiency Connector: SMA(M) IP67 Waterproof Housing Omni directional ROHS Compliant SPE-17-8-090/A/IC Page 2 of 31 1.Introduction The WCM.01 2.4GHz antenna is the smallest SMA(M) connector mount external antenna in the market, fitting into spaces no other traditional monopole, dipole or rubber ducky antenna can go. Its unique PIFA design provides omni-directional gain across the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz range, ensuring constant reception and transmission for 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth applications. This antenna features greater than 60% efficiency when connected directly to the ground plane of the device. Typical Applications Include: -Application Points -Routers -IoT M2M Devices -Smart Home Applications The WCM.01 antenna has an IP67 water proof enclosure and comes with an SMA(M) connector, making it compatible with most Wi-Fi applications and routers on the market. An RP-SMA(M) version is also available, WCM.01.0151. For ideal radiation, mount the WCM.01 clear of metal. Many module manufacturers specify peak gain limits for any antennas that are to be connected to that module. Those peak gain limits are based on freespace conditions. In practice, the peak gain of an antenna tested in freespace can degrade by at least 1 or 2 dBi when put inside a device. So ideally you should go for a slightly higher peak gain antenna than mentioned on the module specification to compensate for this effect, giving you better performance. SPE-17-8-090/A/IC Page 3 of 31 Upon testing of any of our antennas with your device and a selection of appropriate layout, integration technique, or cable, Taoglas can make sure any of our antennas' peak gain will be below the peak gain limits. Taoglas can then issue a specification and/or report for the selected antenna in your device that will clearly show it complying with the peak gain limits, so you can be assured you are meeting regulatory requirements for that module. For example, a module manufacturer may state that the antenna must have less than 2 dBi peak gain, but you don't need to select an embedded antenna that has a peak gain of less than 2 dBi in freespace. This will give you a less optimized solution. It is better to go for a slightly higher freespace peak gain of 3 dBi or more if available. Once that antenna gets integrated into your device, performance will degrade below this 2 dBi peak gain due to the effects of ground plane, surrounding components, and device housing. If you want to be absolutely sure, contact Taoglas and we will test. Choosing a Taoglas antenna with a higher peak gain than what is specified by the module manufacturer and enlisting our help will ensure you are getting the best performance possible without exceeding the peak gain limits. Contact your regional Taoglas sales office for more information.
