Date: 02/10/2023 Federal Communications Commission Equipment Authorization Branch 7435 Oakland Mills Rd. Columbia MD 21046 FCC ID: 2AAGMGC02SA To whom it may concern:

We, Sequans Communications 90 Washington Valley Rd, Bedminster, New Jersey, 7921, USA through the following attestation, hereby address the requirements to support modular approval pursuant to 15.212 of the Commissions Rules:

Modular approval requirement Yes No*

(i) The radio elements of the modular transmitter must have their own shielding. The physical crystal and tuning capacitors may be located external to the shielded radio elements.

(ii) 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.

(iii) The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation.

(iv) The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna and transmission system requirements of 15.203, 15.204(b) and 15.204(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 professional installation provision of 15.203 is not applicable to modules but can apply to limited modular approvals under paragraph (b) of this section.

(v) The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing for compliance with part 15 requirements. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be the length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to ensure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment X X X X X connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified and commercially available (see 15.31(i)).

(vi) The modular transmitter must be equipped with either a permanently affixed label or must be capable of electronically displaying its FCC identification number. X

(vii) The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rules or operating requirements that ordinarily apply to a complete 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. X

(viii) The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements in its final configuration. X

* Shall provide a detailed explanation if the answer is No. Sincerely, ________________________________________ By:
