Applicant: Nokia Solutions and Networks FCC ID: VBNAEQM-02 Timco Engineering Inc. FCC Authorized Telecommunication Certification Body 849 N.W. State Road 45, P.O. Box 370 Newberry, Florida 32669 Nokia Global Product Compliance Laboratory 600-700 Mountain Avenue, Room 5A-107 Murray Hill, NJ 07974, USA July 27, 2022 Subject: Application for Original Equipment Certification under FCC ID: VBNAEQM-02 for Nokia AirScale MAA 64T64R 192AE B48 AEQM Dear Examiner:
The Nokia AirScale MAA 64T64R 192AE B48 AEQM (hereinafter referred to as AEQM) is the subject of this application for Original Equipment Certification under FCC ID: VBNAEQM-02. The AEQM is an LTE-
TDD (Long Term Evolution-Time Division Duplex) and 5G-NR transceiver which operates in Band 48 Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum (3550-3700 MHz). The AEQM supports 10MHz and 20 MHz single LTE carriers, plus 10+20 MHz and 20+20 MHz multiple carriers. The AEQM also supports 5G-NR 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 MHz single carriers with 8-Beam 32T/32R modes or 16-Beam 64T/64R modes of operation and a maximum total RF power output capacity of 32W at its 64T/64R transmit ports. The AEQM also supports cross-polarized 32T/32R 4 streams per polarization and 64T/64R 8 streams per polarization MIMO operations. The AEQM is equipped with an integrated antenna with a maximum total gain of 24.5 dBi for 32T/32R, 1 stream per polarization and 27.5 dBi for 64T/64R, 1 stream per polarization operations. Nokia Bell Labs, part of the Nokia family of companies, hereby requests this certification for LTE and 5G-NR operation. The power will be listed as 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 MHz on the Grant with the EIRPS as follows:
20 MHz - 151 W EIRP 30 MHz - 239.3 W EIRP 40 MHz - 302.7 W EIRP 50 MHz - 500.0 W EIRP 60 MHz - 530.9 W EIRP 70 MHz - 563.6 W EIRP *
80 MHz - 563.6 W EIRP *
90 MHz - 563.6 W EIRP *
100 MHz - 563.6 W EIRP *
* - These bandwidths allow power that exceeds the product capability therefore they will be listed at maximum power of the product. Public Applicant: Nokia Solutions and Networks FCC ID: VBNAEQM-02 The key data are summarized below. VBNAEQM-02 Part 96 E-UTRAN Band 48, 3550-3700 MHz FCC ID:
