TRN-2012 / TRN-2113 Integration Specification Regulatory Considerations
On-Ramp Wireless Confidential and Proprietary 11 014-0047-00 Rev. C
Figure 6. Block Diagram for TRN-2113 with External Antennas
5.2 Antennas
The TRN-2012 has been certified to operate with the built-in (PCB chip) antenna (Ethertronics,
PN: 1001013) and the TRN-2113 has been certified to operate with the external paddle antenna
(L-COM, PN: SP70550). Adherence to these EMC certifications requires that only these antennas
be used. All other antennas with greater peak gain are strictly prohibited for use with the TRN-
2012/TRN-2113 unless new EMC certifications are obtained.

Product Manufacturer Part Number Gain Type Comments
TRN-2012 Ethertronics 1001013 2.1 dBi Monopole Internal PCB chip antenna
TRN-2113 L-COM SP70550 4.72 dBi Monopole
External SMA connectorized
paddle antenna
For the TRN-2113, customers are free to follow one of two paths in their final product:
 Customers can use an antenna type with a gain ≤4.72 dBi. This path allows customers to use
On-Ramp Wireless’ certifications. While ideal from the perspective of program cost and
schedule, the ability to reuse this antenna is highly dependent on the application.
 Customers can recertify the final product with any antenna type and gain desired. In the
case of FCC EMC certifications, it is almost always required for the final product to be
recertified with the Node. If this is the case, note that the recertification is the required time
to introduce the final product’s actual antenna.
