Approved External Antennas

The WLR089U0 module is tested and approved for use with the antenna type listed in the following table. It is permissible to use a different antenna, provided the same antenna type and antenna gain (equal to or less than) is used. An antenna type comprises antennas having similar in-band and out-of-band characteristics (refer to the specification sheet for cutoff frequencies).

To use with other antenna types, the OEM installer must be authorized by the respective regulatory agencies to ensure compliance.

Notes:
  1. 1.‘X’ denotes the antennas covered under the certification.
  2. 2.If the end product using the Module is designed to have an antenna port that is accessible to the end user, then a unique (non-standard) antenna connector (as permissible by FCC) must be used (e.g., RP (Reverse Polarity)-SMA socket).
  3. 3.If an RF coaxial cable is used between the module RF output and the enclosure, then a unique (non-standard) antenna connector must be used in the enclosure wall for interfacing with the antenna.
