Maximum Personal Exposure (MPE) / Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR)
MPE certification testing was performed to determine the Minimum Safe Distance using
external antennas with 5dBi gain for 1700 - 2700MHz. The antenna used for this
certification was Pulse DASLTE500NFMIMO. Thus, if other external antennas are used,
the gain should be equal to or lower than this antenna to maintain the same minimum
safe distances specified. If higher gain antennas are used, the Minimum Safe Distance is
increased. Please consult your local regulatory requirements.

Cabling
Connection to the Pico SMA-F requires a SMA-M. Adapter cables are required.
w
For best performance direct the antenna main beam away from the Pico.
w
Nokia does not recommend directly attaching rubber-duck stick OMNI antennas directly
to the Pico antenna outputs. This is due to the low isolation between the antennas for
main and diversity that would result in degrading MIMO performance.
To insure optimal performance, high quality low loss cable should be used while keeping
the cable length to a minimum. Excessive cable lengths and low quality cable cause
significant performance degradation.
Lightning and surge protection
For indoor use, Flexi Zone Pico does not require surge protection. If the antennas are
remotely connected outdoors, then appropriate surge protection is required per the local
regulations.
Recommended antennas
Nokia does not currently supply external antennas, but some examples for
recommended antennas are:
•
Galtronics Pear
TM
M4969i
•
Pulse DASLTE500NFMIMO
Both are broadband antennas which requires only one antenna for MIMO.
