Evaluation

 

This

has

 

not

 

been

 

evaluated

 

or

 

approved

 

for

 

simultaneous

as

 

it

 

is

 

impossible

 

to

 

determine

 

the

 

exact

 

multi

‐

transmission

 

scenario

 

that

 

a

 

host

 

manufacturer

 

may

 

choose.

  

Any

 

simultaneous

 

transmission

 

condition

 

established

 

through

 

module

 

integration

 

into

 

a

 

host
