Highlights: The 5G Moto Mod passes through FCC. The mod will feature proximity sensors that will shut down an antenna when user blocks one. The mod is said to work with the unannounced Moto Z3 Pro. Last year in August, Motorola launched its Moto Z3 smartphone and announced that it will support 5G with the help of a 5G Mod early this year. Now, it seems like the new mod could soon make its way to the US since it has been spotted on the Federal Communications Commission website. The document, spotted by The Verge, describes the upcoming mod in detail and one of its highlights is that it will feature proximity sensors that will shut down any of its four millimeter wave 5G antennas in case a user gets too close to the module that is transmitting. “As mentioned in the device description, capacitive and proximity sensors are used to disable transmission from a given mm-wave antenna array module when a user may be located in close proximity to the module and in a direction in which the module may transmit. The control mechanism is a simple one in which, if proximity detectors indicate the potential presence of the user within a roughly conical region in front of the module where power density may approach the MPE limit, that module is disabled from use by the modem. This terminates and prevents transmission from the module in question until the condition is cleared,” the FCC document reads. So, one might be wondering if there is any health risk associated with mm-wave radiation. The Verge says that millimeter wave radiation is considered non-ionizing and is harmless since it does not carry enough energy to affect live tissue. The 5G Moto mod is also complying with the FCC millimeter wave exposure limits as well, hence it passed through FCC. Additionally, the Fcc listing suggests that the mod will automatically shut off and switch to another antenna that is delivering a better signal in case the user’s hand is blocking others. Also, the 5G Mod is slated to work only with 5G Mod compatible phone, like the ‘Moto Z3 Pro’. So, there is a chance that a Pro variant of the Moto Z3 smartphone could be announced alongside the 5G Moto mod. Related Reads: Moto Z3 with Snapdragon 835 launched, Moto 5G Mod coming early 2019
