Regulatory compliance
5.1 General requirements
The JODY-W1 series modules comply with the regulatory demands of Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED)
mark. This section contains instructions on the process needed for an integrator when including the
JODY-W1 series into an end-product.
• Any deviation from the process described may cause the JODY-W1 series module not to comply
with the regulatory authorizations of the module and thus void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
• Any changes to hardware, hosts or co-location configuration may require new radiated emission
and SAR evaluation and/or testing.
• The regulatory compliance of JODY-W1 series does not exempt the end-product from being
evaluated against applicable regulatory demands; for example, FCC Part 15B criteria for
unintentional radiators [8].
• The end-product manufacturer must follow all the engineering and operating guidelines as
specified by the grantee (u-blox).
• The JODY-W1 series is for OEM integrators only.
• Only authorized antenna(s) may be used. See also the JODY-W1 series data sheet
of authorized antennas. In the end-product, JODY-W1 must be installed in such a way that only
authorized antennas can be used.
• The end-product must use the specified antenna trace reference design described in the JODY-W1
antenna reference design, application note [12].
• Any notification to the end user about how to install or remove the integrated radio module is NOT
allowed.
⚠
If these conditions cannot be met or any of the operating instructions are violated, the u-blox
regulatory authorization will be considered invalid. Under these circumstances, the integrator is
responsible to re-evaluate the end-product including the JODY-W1 series module and obtain their
own regulatory authorization, or u-blox may be able to support updates of the u-blox regulatory
authorization. See also
5.2 FCC/ISED End-product regulatory compliance
u-blox represents that the modular transmitter fulfills the FCC/ISED regulations when operating in
authorized modes on any host product given that the integrator follows the instructions as described
in this document. Accordingly, the host product manufacturer acknowledges that all host products
referring to the FCC ID or ISED certification number of the modular transmitter and placed on the
market by the host product manufacturer need to fulfil all of the requirements mentioned below. Non-
compliance with these requirements may result in revocation of the FCC approval and removal of the
host products from the market. These requirements correspond to questions featured in the FCC
guidance for software security requirements for U-NII devices, FCC OET KDB 594280 D02 [16].
⚠
The modular transmitter approval of JODY-W1, or any other radio module, does not exempt
the end product from being evaluated against applicable regulatory demands.
