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.
