Specifications Dimensions Figure 2: HXGW SPI card dimensions The overall dimensions are 62 x 42mm. The card is supported at the 2x12 0.1 connector and requires 10mm x M3 posts to support the RF connector end. The HXGW SPI card requires 12mm of clearance above the PCB surface for the complete card and an additional 6mm clearance for the SMA edge mount connector. The module contains a 50ohm SMA transceiver connector to a matching external dipole antenna that matches the required frequency band of the HXGW SPI module. Recommended part for connecting the HXGWxxx SPI interface card to a PCB is Sullins Connector Solutions PPPC122LFBN-RC. This connector is 8.5mm above the PCB. When combined with the 1.5mm 24-pin connector on the HXGWxxx SPI card this will ensure the card is parallel to the host PCB using 10mm M3 standoffs.

It is best practice to avoid introducing RF noise into the system to utilize the reference design below on the +5V input power supply and connection to ground. A ferrite bead such as FBMH3225HM202NT should be used on the +5V with a 100uF capacitor to ground. A series of 220uF, 100nF and 33pF capacitors to ground should be inserted as close as possible to the 2x10 pin connector to filter additional noise. PCB layout for SPI traces should minimize trace length and avoid routing closely to power supplies or oscillators. Operating Frequencies Radio Characteristics The Haxiot SPI gateway module can support multiple LoRaWAN regions with 3 hardware variants with Software Defined Radio (SDR). The gateway module can provide up to 10 static receive channels and 1 dynamic transmit channel within the specified frequency synthesis ranges for each model.

The 2x20 interface pin 24 is used for internal cross-connect of the GPS PPS to the Haxiot HXGW input. This interface requires a 1pps time pulse input from a separate GPS source. If a PPS input is not present, the downlink timing accuracy will have higher drift but still be within the LoRaWAN standard for Class A and C across the operating temperature range. Figure 5 GPS PPS pulse waveform The LoRa radio front end of the Haxiot SPI card is half duplex and supports either receive (Rx) or transmit (Tx) in TDD mode. System power consumption changes between idle, receive and transmit. In typical operation, the Haxiot SPI LoRaWAN Gateway card is in the receive state. Idle is used only when the host-based LoRaWAN software is not operational. Transmit mode is used only during packet send operations. Parameter Unit Idle mA Rx Mode (4/8 channels) mA Rx + Tx Mode (4/8 channels) mA mA Module startup (<1500ms) Note: The transmitter should always be operated at or under a 5% transmit duty cycle in normal operation to manage thermal output. The transmitter MUST also be operated at or under the Duty Cycle mandated for each regulatory region where the product is used.

Operational Instructions Haxiot LoRaWAN 8-channel Gateway Module Data Sheet The HXGW-series card supports a hardware reset function. The module can be reset from the SPI Interface by asserting the RST pin to High. The RST pin uses 3.3V logic. The radio software cannot operate with the RST pin is in the High state, so this can also be used for Radio Disable function. The system supports a standard WWAN_LED signal for Rx Message and Tx Message. The Tx LED output is on pin 8 and the Rx LED output is on pin 12. These outputs can be connected to LED or digital inputs to signal message activity of the HXGW gateway module. The Haxiot LoRaWAN 8-channel gateway module is provided with support for the Haxiot X-ON Cloud network server with the Haxiot Gateway Manager software. Haxiot Gateway Manager provides an Edge Computing feature set for high performance gateways to enable data management, data transform and external API support on the gateway. Support for the Generic Semtech Packet forwarder protocol for 3rd party network servers is provided as an option. The Generic Semtech Packet Forwarder protocol has no support for IoT Edge gateway capabilities. Haxiot Gateway Manager software installed on the host Windows or Linux Operating System provides a complete gateway management, provisioning and security solution for LoRaWAN that works in conjunction with the Haxiot Cloud Network Server. Haxiot Gateway Manager provides the IoT Edge functionality for edge analytics. NOTE: The majority of Windows 10 systems are x86 based which require additional hardware support for SPI or GPIO interfaces. 5.

Answer from applicant Compliant Compliant Compliant Compliant Compliant Compliant Compliant Compliant Modular Approval Request FCC (KDB 996369 D01 & Part 15.212) FCC ID: 2ANQY-HXGW900 4. 3. 2. Items to be covered by Single modular transmitters. 1. The modular transmitter must have its own RF shielding. The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with Part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna requirements of Section 15.203 and 15.204(b)(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a unique antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing. This is intended to demonstrate that the module is capable of complying with Part 15 emission limits regardless of the device into which it is eventually installed. 6. The modular transmitter must be equipped with either a permanently affixed label or must be capable of electronically displaying its FCC identification number in accordance with 15.212 (a)(1)(vi)(A) / (B). 5. 8. 7. The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rule or operating requirements applicable to the transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment authorization. For example, there are very strict operational and timing requirements that must be met before a transmitter is authorized for operation under Section 15.231. For instance, data transmission is prohibited, except for operation under Section 15.231(e), in which case there are separate field strength level and timing requirements. Compliance with these requirements must be assured. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements. For example, FCC Rules in Sections 1.1310, 2.1091, 2.1093, and specific Sections of Part 15, including 15.319(i), 15.407(f), 15.253(f) and 15.255(g), require that Unlicensed PCS, UNII and millimeter wave devices perform routine environmental evaluation for RF Exposure to demonstrate compliance. In addition, spread spectrum transmitters operating under Section 15.247 are required to address RF Exposure compliance. Modular transmitters approved under other Sections of Part 15, when necessary, may also need to address certain RF Exposure concerns, typically by providing specific installation and operating instructions for users, installers and other interested parties to ensure compliance. Answer from applicant Items to be covered by Split modular transmitters. 1. The modular transmitter must comply with all requirements of a single modular transmitter except for items (1) & (5) of the above single modular approval requirements. 2. Only the radio front end must be shielded. The physical crystal and tuning capacitors may be located external to the shielded radio elements. The interface between the split sections of the modular system must be digital with a minimum signalling amplitude of 150 mV peak-to-peak. 3. Control information and other data may be exchanged between the transmitter control elements and radio front end. 4. The sections of a split modular transmitter must be tested installed in a host device(s) similar to that which is representative of the platform(s) intended for use. 5. Manufacturers must ensure that only transmitter control elements and radio front end components that have been approved together are capable of operating together. The transmitter module must not operate unless it has verified that the installed transmitter control elements and radio front end have been authorized together. Manufacturers may use means including, but not limited to, coding in hardware and electronic signatures in software to meet these requirements, and must describe the methods in their application for equipment authorization. Note: A limited modular approval (LMA) may be granted for single or split modular transmitters that comply partially with the requirements above.
