1 Functional Description The Birdirra Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) module allows developers to connect a range of IoT devices to the Taggle network. The Taggle network is an LPWAN solution based on world leading Australian developed technology operating in the 916-928MHz Low Interference Potential Device (LIPD) class licence band, which has been developed by Taggle Systems to provide one of the lowest cost, lowest power, longest range, and highest capacity LPWAN solutions available.
2 Radio Compliance 2.1 FCC This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

5 Host Integration Instructions The Birdirra Module is a Limited Certified Transmitter Module (CTM) which is certified for use in Australia and North America under FCC part 15.247 rules for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radios and FCC part 15.212 rules for Limited Modular Transmitters (and the equivalent ACMA and ISED regulations). The Birdirra Module is only approved for the specific FCC and IC rules listed above.
0.25mm. Designers should ensure the appropriate trace width and ground fill spacing are implemented for the PCB layer stack used to ensure the RF_Out trace impedance is maintained at 50R +/- 5% 5.3 Connectorized Antenna Implementation For host systems using a connectorized antenna the recommended types are listed in section 4.2 The RF_Out port of the module should be routed to a PCB mount 50R coaxial cable connector located as close as possible to the module.
