Regulatory Requirements
You are required to obtain regulatory approval of products that
integrate the Boomer II OEM wireless modem into a host device or
terminal. The specific details for achieving regulatory approval vary
from country to country.
Worldwide, government regulatory agencies for communications have
established standards and requirements for products that incorporate
fixed, mobile, and portable radio transmitters. The Boomer-II OEM
modem is certified in specific regional markets to levels of compliance
appropriate for an integrated device.

countries listed below (but related certification does not necessarily
exist):

Full Product Certification
As the integrator, you must determine what additional specific
regulatory requirements are required for the country in which your
product is sold. This means, your product must be individually
certified, even though the Boomer II OEM Modem Module may
already be approved. The certification process includes submittal of
prototype products and acceptable test results.
Integrators can use Boomer II OEM Modem Module certifications to
facilitate this integrated-product approval process. Upon request,
Wavenet can send copies of the certifications and related information.
Be prepared for the certification process for your product to take from a
few weeks to several months. Its duration can be affected by safety
requirements, the type of product, and the country in which you are
seeking approval.
Country Requirements
The country requirements given below are provided as a general guide
to the certification processes in the regions and countries given. You
are strongly encouraged to use the services of a consultant or a full-

service test house if you have limited expertise in meeting the
regulatory requirements of a specific country.
All certification tests must be made by a qualified laboratory to ensure
that the equipment complies with the applicable technical standards.
United States of America
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires application
for certification of digital devices in accordance with CFR Title 47,
Part 2 and Part 15. A Wavenet Boomer-II OEM Modem Module is part
of a complete system and certain testing is necessary for the integrated
product.
FCC Part 15, Class B certification must be performed with the
maximum configuration use and include all peripherals of the
integrated product. The application for certification must refer to the
approval data on file for the particular Boomer-II Modem Module, as
shown in the following example. Include the following language in
user documentation inserting the name of the integrated product in
place of xxx below:
“The Wavenet Boomer-II OEM modem module is a
subassembly of xxx and has FCC Identifier PQS-BM28001”
(or PQS-BM29001 as appropriate)
FCC Part 2 certification requires all integrated products to have
routine environmental evaluation for radio-frequency (RF) exposure
prior to equipment authorization or use in accordance with FCC rules
2.1091 and 2.1093 and FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, OET Bulletin 65 and its
Supplement C.
For “portable devices”, defined in accordance with FCC rules as
transmitting devices designed to be used within 20 cm of the user body
under normal operating conditions, Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
testing must be performed. An exposure limit of 1.6 W/kg will apply
to most OEM integrated applications.
For “mobile or fixed devices”, defined as transmitting devices
designed to be generally used such that a separation distance of at least
20 cm is maintained between the body of the user and the transmitting
radiated structure, Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits may
be used with field strength or power density limit of 0.54 mW/cm2 (at
806 MHz).
Wavenet submitted module specific information and test reports for
generic MPE compliance. The antennae used for FCC certification
were:
q For the 800 MHz modem: Radiall/Larsen - Whip Standard
¼ wave SPWH20832 (maximum average gain 1dBi)
q For the 900 MHz modem: Radiall/Larsen - Whip Standard
¼ wave SPWH20918 (maximum average gain 1dBi)

If the Boomer-II OEM Modem Module is used in a mobile or fixed
application and if the integrator uses one of the above antennae with an
antenna lead length no shorter than 150mm, the MPE limits will not be
exceeded. In this case, the following clause should be included in the
installation and user documentation:
"To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements a separation
distance of 20 cm or more should be maintained between the
antenna of this device and persons during device operation. To
ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not
recommended."
If a different antenna is used to that which was tested by Wavenet for
FCC approval, then the integrated product must be re-tested as a
complete unit and submitted with its own FCC ID.
It is mandatory for portable integrated products such as handheld and
body-worn devices to comply with FCC RF radiation requirements
with respect to the SAR limit. The submission should include end
product information, end product SAR/MPE test report, and a reference
to the Wavenet Boomer-II OEM Modem Module FCC ID for all other
Part 90 requirements.
It is a requirement for integrated product certification that you provide
the following statement in user documentation:
“Regulatory Notice of Compliance
This equipment has been tested and found to comply within the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
q Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
q Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
q Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
q Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.”
