Regulatory
Certified Antennas
The SDC-MSD40NBT will be tested to the regulatory standards defined in the “Certifications” section of
the Specifications table above. Summit plans to conduct these tests with the following antennas:
Cisco AIR-ANT 4941
 Form Factor: Whip
 Type: Dipole
 Maximum 2.4 GHz Gain: 2.2 dBi
 Tested and Certified 2.4 GHz Transmit Power: TBD
Radiall Larson Dipole (R380500314)
 Form Factor: Whip
 Type: Dipole
 Maximum 2.4 GHz Gain: 1.6 dBi (not used during testing)
 Maximum 5 GHz Gain: 5 dBi
 Tested and Certified 5 GHz Transmit Power: TBD
Note: If the formal test reports for the SDC-MSD40NBTshow that transmit power was decreased to less
than 100% on 2.4 GHz edge channels. Summit will make these transmit power reductions in
firmware for the edge channels. Integrators do not need to reduce transmit power on a channel-
by-channel basis to comply with band edge regulations.
Antennas of differing types and higher gains may be integrated as well. If necessary, with the Summit
Manufacturing Utility software utility, OEMs may reduce the transmit power of the SDC-MSD40NBT to
account for higher antenna gain. In some cases, OEMs may be able to reduce certification efforts by
using antennas that are of like type and equal or lesser gain to the above listed antennas.
Documentation Requirements
In order to maintain regulatory compliance, when integrating the SDC-MSD40NBT into a host device and
leveraging Summit’s grants and certifications, it is necessary to meet the documentation requirements set
forth by the applicable regulatory agencies. The following sections (FCC, Industry Canada, and European
Union) outline the information that may be included in the user’s guide and external labels for the host
devices into which the SDC-MSD40NBT is integrated.
FCC
Note: You must place “Contains FCC ID: TWG-SDCMSD40NBT” on the host product in such a location
that it can be seen by an operator at the time of purchase.
User’s Guide Requirements
When integrating the SDC-MSD40NBT into a host device, the integrator must include specific information
in the user’s guide for the device into which the SDC-MSD40NBT is integrated. The integrator must not
