SEQUANS Communications
4.1 FCC Regulatory Approval
FCC-ID: 2AAGMGM02S (single modular approval)
This above identified LTE radio module is not intended to be provided to
end-users but is for installation by OEM integrators only.
Installation/Integration
OEM integrators must follow Sequans installation instructions to provide for
and benefit from FCC compliant module integrations and must abide
especially by the following:
The maximum antenna gain values (accounting for cable attenuation) to
comply with the FCC maximum ERP/EIRP limits and with RF Exposure rules:
• LTE band 2 (1800 MHz): 10 dBi
• LTE band 4 (1700 MHz): 7 dBi
• LTE band 12 (700 MHz): 7.6 dBi
The Sequans' module
integration guidelines must be closely followed.
Compliance of host integrations of the module is limited to hosts adaptation
designs which are identical to Sequans' reference design.
Host integrations with adaption designs deviating from Sequans' reference
design require either class 2 permissive change to this modular approval or a
separate host approval with different FCC-ID;
Host integrations with co-located (simultaneously operating) radio
transmitters must be evaluated in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter
rules and may require either class 2 permissive change to this modular
approval or a separate host approval with different FCC-ID, dependent on the
result of the evaluation; Inquiry at FCC or a TCB is urgently recommended.
Integrations of the module into host products which are intended for portable
use, i.e. less than 20cm distance between its radiating structures (antenna) and
the body of nearby persons, or which otherwise put additional technical
requirements like Hearing Aid compatibility require either class 2 permissive
change to this modular approval or a separate host approval with different
FCC-ID;
Compliance with Unwanted Emission Limits for Digital Device
If the OEM host integration fully complies with the above described reference
design and can completely inherit and rest on compliance of the existing
modular approval the OEM remains still responsible to show compliance of
the overall end-product with the FCC limits for unwanted conducted and
radiated emissions from the digital device (unintentional radio) portion of
such end-product (commonly addressed as part 15B compliance or similar).
