APPENDIX G: STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
The A3LA-RG comprises of an Iridium 9523 L-band transceiver board. The 9523 is a regulatory
approved daughter module transceiver that can be fitted within an enclosed host system. The 9523 is
designed to comply with the standards for Radio Emissions Compliance, Electromagnetic Compatibility, and
AC Safety in the United States, European Union and Canada assuming an antenna with a gain of ~3dBi and
adequate shielding.
FCC Compliance: The 9523 is certified under FCC CFR47 Parts 2, 15 and 25 as FCC ID:
Q639523. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause harmful
interference. Any changes or modifications, including the use of a non-standard antenna,
not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
CE Compliance: The 9523, when marked with the CE symbol, complies with the European
Community Council Directive for R&TTE, 99/5/EC, provided that the integrator/user adheres
to the instructions detailed in this LBT Interface Specification. This product is in compliance
with applicable ETSI standards. Compliance with the requirements of ETSI EN 301 441
V1.1.1 requires the use of a shielded digital data interface cable.
Industry Canada: The 9523 is compliant with Industry Canada RSS-170 Issue 2 for RF
Exposure.
IMPORTANT: Output power listed is conducted. Peak power is 5.16W and mean power is 0.48W.
The antenna gain, including cable loss, must not exceed 3dBi. To comply with FCC RF exposure
experiments, a minimum separation of 20 cm is required between the antenna and all persons.
Additional testing and certification are required for applications that combine the 9523 with another
radio element or are intended for use within 20 cm of a person.
