1 2 3 4 5 6 Grant CommentsOutput power is EIRP, maximum antenna gain per band as per this filing. This device operates as both a very-low power (6VL) device and a dual-client (6CD) device with both low-power indoor access points and standard power access points utility for 6 GHz band operations as described in this filing. These modes of operation infer multiple restrictions of usage as detailed in this filing, the User Manual, and KDB 987594. This device supports WLAN 802.11 b/g/n/a/ac/ax in SISO and MIMO (2x2) configurations with, where applicable, 20, 40, 80, and 160 MHz BW modes and beamforming. Bluetooth v5.3, including HDR4, HDR8, plus backwards compatibility to v4.x LE and v2.x BR/EDR Specific Absorption Rate testing ensures human safety against a body configuration (1g) and yields the following maximum reported SAR values: standalone 1.111 W/kg, simultaneous operation 1.357 W/kg, against limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure of 1.6 W/kg in accordance with FCC 47 CFR 1.1310.
