3. Radio frequency exposure - SAR
The SAM2W modem is a low-power transceiver, similar to a typical handheld GSM/GPRS mobile
phone. When it is turned on, it will emit low-level radio frequency energy.
There are different guidelines and standards around the world that govern the permitted levels of
radio frequency exposure for general population. The levels include a safety margin to a human
body.
The Specific Absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which radio frequency energy is
absorbed by the body when exposed to radio frequency electromagnetic field. The SAR value is
determined at the highest certified power level in the laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR
level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is because the
transceiver is designed to use minimum power to connect to the network.
The SAM2W modem is approved to use in applications where the antenna is placed more than
20cm from the body. Refer to the SAR calculations in the Appendix A.
For other applications, the integrator is responsible for the local SAR requirements.
