AVT9152 SAR testing?

I see in the FCC filing that the AVT9152 is not supposed to be used within 20cm of the body. I know this is a limit that triggers SAR testing. Can anyone tell me if SAR was just not tested on this device or if there were problems with it? We need to be installed closer than that. I want to make sure that we could move forward with our own testing as necessary as opposed to knowing that it will fail if we do test.

AVT9152 had gone through Radio Exposure Evaluation (FCC 47 CFR Part 2.1091) for its embedded BLE module + antenna. Nordic's nRF9160 IC had also gone through FCC 47 CFR Part 2.1091. Based on the assessments…

No testing related to SAR was done previously. Other than that, the module (in particular nRF9160) conforms to 3GPP spec, and had passed corresponding FCC and CE's RF emission tests.

What is the scope of "our own testing"? Are you bringing a product to mass market? Or is it perhaps a research only project with internal use and no customer offering?

In my opinion, out of the 3 protocols AVT9152 supports the LTE is pushing the limit in terms of SAR challenges, testing burden and eventually cost.

We are looking to go to market with this as a solution that we may eventually move away from. Our market is not something that would use the term mass market. Expect lower numbers than what I would use that term for.
