doc.: IEEE /0935r0 Agenda R&O/FNPRM/NOI FCC FCC Rules for Human RF Exposure still based on 2003 decisions –More stringent than ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) exposure limits –Measurement methods not harmonized with IEC Human Exposure to RF Fields From Hand Held and Body Mounted Wireless Communications Devices –Measurement methods require test data be extrapolated to represent 100% duty cycle; not realistic for Wi-Fi Multiple radios, multiple antennas, new form factors demand rules be updated to properly address current and future technologies We should corrective actions as part of this proceeding August 2013 Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry CorporationSlide 11

doc.: IEEE /0935r0 Agenda Proposals The FCC’s exposure limits for the general public should be updated and harmonized with internationally accepted exposure limits of 2W/kg over 10 gm averaging mass (IEEE C and ICNIRP) The FCC should adopt measurement techniques that are developed by international standards groups and harmonized among industries: IEC Human Exposure to RF Fields From Hand Held and Body Mounted Wireless Communications Devices Operational Duty Cycles: The FCC should incorporate into its testing standards for devices operational duty cycles relevant for determining worst case transmitter duty factor correction for Specific Absorption Rate Testing The FCC should adopt the low power exclusions contained in IEC The FCC should expand its website consumer information on health effects and RF EME issues to reflect the different major technologies in use today August 2013 Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry CorporationSlide 12

doc.: IEEE /0935r0 Agenda EN and EN Issues Current versions of the test plans require complex and/or expensive measurement methods for Power/PSD –Single-sourced test equipment needed for this test; or –Complex post-processing data manipulation –Should create new revisions with alternate test procedure to become voluntary before current versions become mandatory Industrial Automation industry pushing for multiple versions of EN to allow non-adaptive use –Manual coexistence management –CEN/CENELEC/ETSI meeting September 3 rd could make this happen August 2013 Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry CorporationSlide 13

doc.: IEEE /0935r0 Agenda EN and EN Concern Device manufacturers need to understand that the only way to meet the EU adaptivity requirement is through the use of CCA mode 1 Non-compliant devices are currently on the market, and could be used as a reason for waiving the adaptivity requirement for the IA industry August 2013 Rich Kennedy, BlackBerry CorporationSlide 14
