Antenna Usage
Antenna Warning
WARNING: This device has been tested with Reverse Polarity SMA connectors with the
antennas listed in Tables A-01 & A-02 of Appendix A. When integrated in OEM
products, fixed antennas require installation preventing end-users from replacing
them with non-approved antennas. Antennas not listed in the tables must be
tested to comply with FCC Section 15.203 (unique antenna connectors) and Section
15.247 (emissions).
RF Exposure
WARNING: This equipment is approved only for mobile and base station transmitting devices,
separation distances of (i) 20 centimeters or more for antennas with gains < 6 dBi
or (ii) 2 meters or more for antennas with gains
≥
6 dBi should be maintained
between the antenna of this device and nearby persons during operation. To
ensure compliance, operation at distances closer than this is not recommended.
The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in manuals for OEM products
to alert users on FCC RF Exposure compliance.
MaxStream radio modems are pre-FCC approved for use in fixed base station and mobile
applications. As long as the antenna is mounted at least 20 cm (8 in) from nearby persons, the
application is considered a mobile application. If the antenna will be mounted closer than 20 cm
to nearby persons, then the application is considered “portable” and requires an additional test
performed on the final product. This test is called the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing and
measures the emissions from the radio modem and how they affect the person.
Over 100 additional antennas have been tested and are approved for use with MaxStream 900
MHz Radio Modems (including “Mag Mount”, “Dome”, “Multi-path” and “Panel” antennas).
Because of the large number of approved antennas, MaxStream requests that you send specific
information about an antenna you would like to use with the modem and MaxStream will
evaluate whether the antenna is covered under our FCC filing.
