Antenna Placement Within the Host Platform
To ensure RF exposure compliance the antenna(s) used with the Intel® wireless adapters must be
installed in notebook or tablet PC host platforms to provide a minimum separation distance from
all persons, in all operating modes and orientations of the host platform, with strict adherence to
the table below. The antenna separation distance applies to both horizontal and vertical
orientation of the antenna when installed in the host system. In cases where host platforms
cannot meet the minimum separation distances the OEM integrator must consult with the Intel
regulatory group to assist with the required authorization requirements.
