This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. This device must be professionally installed. Also, some specific recommendations for exposure exposure to magnetic fields must be followed: This equipment complies with FCC’s radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment under the following conditions: 1. This equipment should be installed and operated such that a minimum separation distance of 20 cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and user’s/nearby person’s body at all times. 2. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. 6.2.2 IC This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : 1. L’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage ; 2. l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, that antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. This radio transmitter (IC –KLK915LOI) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with the device.

To optimize the colocation between the internal GSM antenna and the external LoRa antenna, a distance of 20 cm is required between both radiated parts. Therefore, when possible we strongly recommend dissociating the universal antenna support away from the enclosure support. This is the best way to guarantee the 20 cm min distance between GSM antenna and LoRa antenna. When the dissociation is not possible, the LoRa antenna must be placed on the opposite side of the GSM antenna as described on Figure 15.

The LoRa IoT Station must be installed as high as possible to have the better reception. The figures below shows the RSSI of the signal vs. the distance to the end point vs. the height of the Lora IoT station (4m, 8m, 12m and 30m). Two uses cases are presented: one for a small city configuration (urban area) and one for countryside area. The propagation model used is based on Hata model. The frequency is 868MHz in this case but performance and conclusions at 915MHz would be almost identical. The RSSI is the received signal by the LoRa IoT Station. The end point EIRP is assumed to be 25mW. The height of the end point is 1m.

The propagation channel must be well defined and known to have an efficient prediction. Radio coverage simulations are recommended before the installation of the LoRa IoT Stations to make sure the gateway would cover the expected area. Contact Kerlink for more information. In a first approach, the figure below shows the RSSI of the signal vs. the distance to the end point vs. the type of area (urban, suburban, countryside, desert). The height of the LoRa antenna is assumed to be 12 meters. The propagation model used is based on Hata model. The frequency is 868MHz in this case but performance and conclusions at 915MHz would be almost identical. The RSSI is the received signal by the LoRa IoT Station. The end point EIRP is assumed to be 25mW. The height of the end point is 1m.

However, meeting these regulations is not sufficient to insure good coexistence with BTS when sharing the same site. This is why KERLINK has reinforced these specifications to allow the coexistence. KERLINK has designed the transmitter to reduce the spurious and the noise generated in the BTS receive bands below -80dBm in a 100KHz resolution bandwidth. This is then pretty much in line with BTS specifications to insure co-localization between BTS. The measurements made on the LoRa IoT Station show typical values of -85dBm/100KHz. The receiver offers also high attenuation outside the receive band. High attenuation of out of band blockers is obtained: • >105dB at +/-10MHz • >150dB in BTS downlink bands This means that the blockers levels, due to the BTS, could be up to +10dBm causing no interference with the gateway.

Page 38 / 53 Reference:INSTALL_Long_Range_IoT_ Installation and Station Maintenance Version ........ 2.0 Author ......... Michel GILBERT Manual Date ............. 17/09/2015 LoRa IoT Station Based on this performance, this means that about 50dB isolation is required between the LoRa IoT Station antenna and the base station antenna to avoid desensitization of the BTS. Specifying a minimum distance between antennas may not guarantee the 50dB isolation, unless over specifying the required distance. This is mainly due to the fact that both LoRa antenna and BTS antenna are directive antenna. This means that the antenna gain is not omnidirectional in both cases. BTS antenna have about 10 to 15dB antenna maximum gain but the gain above or below the antenna is reduced by 20dB to 30dB as described below: Mounting the LoRa antenna just above or below the 4G antenna allows then to get 20 to 30dB isolation among the 50dB required. The LoRa antenna can be an omnidirectional antenna. The worst case would be a 3dBi antenna which has the “less directive” antenna pattern. An example is presented below: We can see that the gain on the top of the antenna or below the antenna is about -15dBi to -20dBi.

Page 39 / 53 Reference:INSTALL_Long_Range_IoT_ Installation and Station Maintenance Version ........ 2.0 Author ......... Michel GILBERT Manual Date ............. 17/09/2015 LoRa IoT Station In case of sectorial antenna, the antenna gain above or below the antenna is also significantly reduced to -10 to -15dB as shown below: Then, taking into account the performance of the antenna, we need to get about 10 to 20dB more isolation to meet the 50dB isolation between antenna. A gap of 1 meter between antenna would insure 30dB additional attenuation. Therefore, our recommendation is to have the LoRa antenna just above the BTS) antenna with 1 meter gap min. Placing the LoRa antenna below the BTS antenna could be also possible. However, this is not recommended as reception could be impacted by metallic structures in the close area. 7.3.7.3.1 LoRa IoT Station 868 Co-localization is possible with the following BTS: - EGSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900 - UMTS900, UMTS2100 - LTE800, LTE 900, LTE 1800, LTE 2100, LTE 2300, LTE2600 The most difficult use case is the LTE 800 band that is very close to the 868MHz band. Actually, the end of the LTE 800 band is 862MHz whereas the beginning of the 868MHz band is 863MHz. Insuring -80dBm/100KHz at 862MHz while transmitting at 863MHz or even at 868Mhz is not achievable with the state of the art of SAW filters. Therefore, the LoRa IoT Station has a limited transmit frequency range of 865-873MHz. The 863865MHz range cannot be used on transmit side. This limitation allows usage of SAW filter offering low insertion loss at 865MHz but sufficient attenuation at 862MHz. These SAW filters are designed specifically for KERLINK as standard SAW filters on the shelf do do not achieve such performance. Based on these specific SAW filters and limitation of the TX frequency range (865MHz-873MHz) the LoRa IoT Station also meets the 80dBm/100KHz spurious limit in the LTE 800 band.

Note: In Singapore, co-localization with EGSM900 requires usage of a specific cavity filter. Contact Kerlink for more information. 7.3.7.4 Fresnel ellipsoid Radio waves generally travel in a straight line from the emitter to the receiver. This is obviously true when there are no obstacles between the transmitter transmitter and the receiver. However, there are, most of the time, some obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver. Then, the radio waves bump into the obstacles and are reflected or diffracted with dephasing. These diffracted waves when arriving on the receiver can cause phase cancelling with the straight line signals reducing the received power (fading). The fading effect depends on the distance between the receiver and the emitter, the nature of the obstacles and the associated out of phase.

Michel GILBERT Manual Date ............. 17/09/2015 LoRa IoT Station Figure 25 : Fading effects due to obstacles To minimize the fading effects, obstacles in a “Fresnel ellipsoid” must be avoided. The Fresnel ellipsoid is a theoretical ellipsoid located between the transmitter and the receiver. The radius of the ellipsoid is defined as follows: Where: • • • • • d1 = distance from Tx antenna d2 = distance from Rx antenna f = frequency c = celerity (3E8 m/s) r1 = radius at the distance d1 A global rule is that 60% of the Fresnel ellipsoid must be clear of obstacles. In case of buildings between the end point and the LoRa IoT station, the antenna height must be adjusted to make sure the building is not close to 60% of r1.

Michel GILBERT Manual Date ............. 17/09/2015 LoRa IoT Station Be careful, if the antennas heights are not sufficient, then the ground (earth curve) can get inside the Fresnel ellipsoid and overrule the 60% criteria. Figure 27 : Fresnel ellipsoid and earth curvature Example: An end point is located at 3500m from the LoRa IoT Station. The LoRa IoT Station is installed on the roof of a building. The building roof is 30 meters long vs 20m large. What is the required height of the LoRa antenna for have an optimized reception? Answer: If we want to receive end points i.e. 360° area coverage, it should be better to have the antenna located in the mid of the building root. The antenna is therefore at 15m from the edge of the roof. Then we have: • d1 = 15m • d2 = 3600 -15 = 3585m • f = 868MHz • c = 3E8 m/s So, r1 = 2.3m The antenna must be installed at a minimum height of 2.3m from the roof top, on a mast for instance. 7.4 Setting connections 7.4.1 Ethernet connection Before connecting the Ethernet wires, ensure that the POE injector is not connected to 230VAC.
