INFORMATION FOR OEMs and HOST INTEGRATORS
The guidelines described within this document are provided to OEM integrators installing Intel® wireless adapters in
notebook and tablet PC host platforms. Adherence to these requirements is necessary to meet the conditions of
compliance with FCC rules, including RF exposure. When all antenna type and placement guidelines described herein
are fulfilled the Intel® wireless adapters may be incorporated into notebook and tablet PC host platforms with no
further restrictions. If any of the guidelines described herein are not satisfied it may be necessary for the OEM or
integrator to perform additional testing and/or obtain additional approval. The OEM or integrator is responsible to
perform the required additional host regulatory testing and/or obtaining the required host approvals for compliance.
- Intel® wireless adapters are intended for installation by OEMs and host integrators only.
- The Intel® wireless adapter FCC Grant of Authorization describes any limited conditions of modular approval.
-The Intel® wireless adapters must be operated with an access point that has been approved for the country
of operation.
-Changes or modification to Intel® wireless adapters by OEMs, integrators or other third parties is not
permitted. Any changes or modification to Intel® wireless adapters by OEMs, integrators or other third parties
will void authorization to operate the adapter.
Antenna Type and Gains
Only antennas of the same type and with equal or less gains as shown in the tables below shall be used with the
Intel® wireless adapters. Other types of antennas and/or higher gain antennas may require additional
authorization for operation. For testing purposes the following dual band antenna that approximates closely the
above limits was used:
Simultaneous Transmission of Intel® Wireless Adapters with Other Integrated or
Plug-In Transmitters
Based upon FCC Knowledge Database publication number 616217, when there are multiple transmitting devices
installed in a host device, an RF exposure transmitting assessment shall be performed to determine the necessary
application and test requirements. OEM integrators must identify all possible combinations of simultaneous
transmission configurations for all transmitters and antennas installed in the host system. This includes transmitters
installed in the host as mobile devices (>20 cm separation from user) and portable devices (<20 cm separation from
user). OEM integrators should consult the actual FCC KDB 616217 document for all details in making this assessment
to determine if any additional requirements for testing or FCC approval is necessary.a
Conditions To Be Observered By Use of 6GHz Bands (5.925GHz - 7.125Ghz)
An indoor client device (6XD), where a client device is defined in FCC Part. 15.202, is limited to indoor locations and
is under control of a low-power indoor access point (6ID) or subordinate(6PP). It is only possible to operate the
client device can only operate under the control of a low-power indoor access point and subordinate.
A client may initiate brief messages to associate with a low-power indoor access point or subordinate and establish a
connection only after receiving a confirmation signal confirming that an AP is present and operating on a particular
channel. After being associated, the indoor client can only initiate transmission with that access point. Indoor client
devices (6XD) are prohibited from making a direct air interface connection to other clients.
An indoor client device cannot have a direct connection to the internet.
