This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following:
- The antenna must be installed such that 20cm is maintained between antenna and
users
1) The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
As long as 2 conditions above are met, further transmitter test will not required. However, the
OEM integrator is still responsible for testing end-product for any additional compliance
requirements required with module installed (for example, digital device emissions, P
peripheral requirements, etc.)
Important Note
In the event that these conditions can not be example certain laptop configurations or co-location
with another transmitter, then the FCC authorization is no longer considered valid because the
FCC ID can not be used on the final product. In these circumstances, OEM integrator will be
responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate
FCC authorization.

Introduction
MSI MP54G5, the Wireless 11g miniPCI Card, is a Type IIIB
card, which can be used to integrate with such systems as
notebook, mini-barebone and portable PC. With MSI MP54G5
embedded inside, a system could provide users with the ability
and flexibility to connect up to Internet wirelessly via 802.11g
with speed up to 54Mbps.
MSI MP54G5 is taking advantage of leading technologies from
Ralink. It addresses WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) mar-
kets by providing true simultaneous connectivity while deploy-
ing IEEE 802.11g. Along with this solution, a system installed in
a single card is able to offer capability of WiFi mode. It will
benefit system vendors in miniaturization of system dimension
and BOM cost reduction, as well as also make users happy with
the all-in-one functionality.

Ad-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network or
other small network, especially one with wireless or temporary
plug-in connections, in which some of the network devices are
part of the network only for the duration of a communications
session. Users in the network can share files, print to a shared
printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem. In this
kind of network, new devices can be quickly added; however,
users can only communicate with other wireless LAN comput-
ers that are in this wireless LAN workgroup, and are within
range.

Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastructure
network and Ad-hoc network is that the former one includes an
Access Point. In an Infrastructure network, the Access Point can
manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Addi-
tionally, the Access Point enables users on a wireless LAN to
access an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to take
advantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet,
email, file transfer, and printer sharing. The scale and range of the
Infrastructure networking are larger and wider than that of the
Ad-hoc networking.
