Page 5: Introduction
Introduction The Sierra Wireless EM9190 Embedded Module is a FirstNet-ready (B14 LTE) M.2 module and provides 5G NR Sub-6G, 5G mmWave, 4G LTE advanced Pro, 3G (HSPA+, UMTS), and GNSS connectivity for a wide range of devices and purposes, including business, personal, and portable computing and communication devices, IoT devices, M2M applications and industrial use cases. -
Page 6: Power
Power 2.1. Power Supply The host provides power to the EM9190 through multiple power and ground pins as summarized in Table 2-1. The host must provide safe and continuous power (via battery or a regulated power supply) at all times; the module does not have an independent power supply, or protection circuits to guard against electrical issues. -

Near medical equipment, life support equipment, or any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the EM9190 module MUST BE POWERED OFF. Otherwise, the EM9190 module can transmit signals that could interfere with this equipment. - Page 21 FCC and IC prohibit the use of external vehicle-mounted antennas for mobile and portable stations in this band. Fixed stations may use antennas with higher gain in Band 30 due to relaxed EIRP limits. EM9190 modules used as fixed subscriber stations in Canada or fixed customer premises equipment (CPE)
