A Specifications
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum
gain of 3 dBi (sBridge) and 6 dBi (eBridge). Antennas not included in this list or having a gain
greater than 3 dBi (sBridge) or 6 dB (eBridge), are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The
required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
C-Tick Level 3 (Radiated/Conducted Emissions Compliance AS/NZS4268,
AS/NZS4778)
The NIC is compliant to C-tick testing for radiated and conducted emissions in compliance with
Australian Communications Authority (ACA) adopted standards from CISPR, CENELC, and IEC.
The sBridge uses a 1W EIRP, 900 MHz, FHSS radio.
The C-Tick EIRP mark is filed under number N1571 for Silver Spring Networks.
