FCC ID: 2AD8UAZQCRH1 Murray Hill, NJ 07974, USA September12, 2019 Nokia Global Product Compliance Laboratory 600-700 Mountain Avenue, Room 5A-107 Federal Communications Commission Authorization & Evaluation Division 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, Maryland 21046 Attention: Equipment Authorization Group SUBJECT: Request for Permissive Change to FCCID-2AD8UAZQCRH1 for the Airscale Micro RRH 3.5 GHz 4T/4R 20W (AZQC). Dear Examiner, Nokia Solutions and Networks, OY requests to authorize additional antennas for Part 96 operations with the FCC Hardware Certified Part 96 CBSD radio device. Attached is the document with the Nokia Antennas and the appropriate power settings of the product to demonstrate the EIRP compliance from the approved Bandwidth. A duplicate of the 731 Form is attached since there is no change to the Grant. Should there be any questions or procedural issues please feel free to contact me by email and/or phone.

AZQC Radio FCC ID:
2AD8UAZQCRH1 Radio dynamic range:
Maximum linear conducted power rating at output connector into 50 ohms that meets all OOBE requirements [zero additional attenuation, highest power setting allowed, for use with lowest gain external antennas] (dBm):
__43 (Total 4xMIMO power)_____ Minimum linear conducted power rating at output connector into 50 ohms that meets all OOBE requirements [maximum additional linear attenuation, lowest power setting allowed, for use with highest gain external antennas] (dBm):
__23 (Total 4xMIMO power)______ Note: use of an external cable introduces additional losses that may be compensated appropriately by increasing the radios power level (reducing the attenuator setting). This cable compensation may be achieved during radio setup. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) vendor of the radio states that the use of the following listed external antennas meet all requirements for Part 96 operations. The following specific external antennas may be used in conjunction with this model radio at the appropriate listed power settings. These antennas will allow this radio to meet the appropriate Part 96 requirements for Maximum EIRP, either at or below:
30 dBm EIRP (for Category A operations), or 47 dBm EIRP (for Category B operations). 3 FCC ID: 2AD8UAZQCRH1 As the unit requires an externally mounted antenna assembly, the following table provides a list of various antennas, along with their associated peak antenna gain (ranging from 4.9 to 15.5 dBi). The table further provides the maximum radio conducted power that can be used. The Radio Conducted Power Setting is the minimum of the units maximum conducted power or the conducted power that when added to the antenna gain does not exceed 47dBm/10MHz EIRP for a Category B device or 30dBm/10MHz for a Category A device. The maximum conducted power of the unit is 20W (43dBm) and it can support 10 to 80 MHz of spectrum (utilizing one to four 10 and/or 20 MHz carriers). RadioConductedPower = MIN [ 43, 47 AntennaGain + 10*LOG(Bandwidth/10)]
If Radio Conducted Power Setting is less than the units minimum conducted power (23 dBm), then the antenna gain is too high. An antenna with lower gain will be required. The Maximum Allowed EIRP Rating is equal to the Radio Conducted Power Setting plus the antenna gain, with the result normalized to 10MHz. MaximumAllowedEirpRating = RadioConductedPower + AntennaGain - 10*LOG(Bandwidth/10) The unit incorporates SW that checks the supplied configuration information (i.e. Radio Conducted Power, Bandwidth, and Antenna Gain) to ensure the calculated Maximum Alllowed EIRP Rating does not exceed the Part 96 limitation or EIRP and PSD level permitted by the SAS. If the Radio Conducted Power is at the lowest allowable value and Maximum Allowed EIRP is too large, an alarm will be raised to request the operator to check the supplied configuration information. The unit will not transmit until the antenna is changed to one with lower gain. RF cables and connectors will be required for connecting the external antennas to the unit. The amount of cable loss will vary based on the cables specification (e.g. attenuation due to length and diameter). In the above equations, the Antenna Gain should be considered as Antenna Gain + cable loss. Additional antennas with gains within the range shown in the table may become available at a later time. The above equations and table below will provide an indication of the Radio Conducted Power that would be allowed. Since no antenna is supplied, then per FCC Rules the RF exposure compliance shall be addressed at the time of licensing, as required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s). 4 FCC ID: 2AD8UAZQCRH1 CBRS Band 48 External antennas authorized by the Original Equipment Manufacturer for use with this model radio Antenna Configuration Antenna Vendor Antenna Model Antenna Bandwidth Radio Maximum Number Main Beam Peak Gain
