| Output power listed is conducted. Single Modular Approval. Approval is limited to OEM installation only. Compliance of this device in all final host configurations is the responsibility of the Grantee. This device is to be used only for mobile and fixed applications. OEM integrators must be provided labeling requirements for finished products. This grant is valid only when the device is sold to OEM integrators and the OEM integrators are instructed to ensure that the end user has no manual instructions to remove or install the device. Separate approval is required for all other operating configurations, including portable configurations with respect to 2.1093 and different antenna configurations. The module antenna(s) must be installed to meet the RF exposure compliance separation distance of 20 cm and any additional testing and authorization process as required. Co-location of this module with other transmitters that operate simultaneously are required to be evaluated using the FCC multi-transmitter procedures. This module can only be used with a host antenna circuit trace layout design in strict compliance with the OEM instructions provided. The usable maximum antenna gain is 8dBi for bands LTE B2/25; 5dBi for bands LTE 4/66; 9.41dBi for bands LTE 5/26(824-849MHz); 9.36dBi for bands LTE 26(814-824MHz); 9.79dBi for LTE 8; 8.7dBi for bands LTE 12; 9.17dBi for bands LTE 13; 8.48dBi for bands LTE 71; 8.69dBi for band LTE 85. |
