5.2.2
Obtaining own FCC/ISED certification ID
Integrators who do not want to refer to the u-blox FCC/ISED certification ID, or who do not fulfil all
requirements to do so may instead obtain their own certification. With their own certification, the
integrator has full control of the grant to make changes.
Integrators who want to base their own certification on the u-blox certification can do so via a process
called "Change in ID" (FCC) / "Multiple listing" (ISED). With this, the integrator becomes the grantee
of a copy of the u-blox FCC/ISED certification. U-blox will support with an approval letter that shall be
filed as a Cover Letter exhibit with the application.
☞
For modules with the FCC ID / ISED certification ID printed on the label, the integrator must replace
the module label with one that includes the new FCC/ISED ID. For a description of the labeling
requirements, refer to the JODY-W1 series data sheet [2].
⚠
It is the responsibility of the integrator to comply with any upcoming regulatory requirements.
5.2.3
Antenna requirements
In addition to the general requirement to use only authorized antennas, the u-blox grant also requires
a separation distance of at least 20 cm from the antenna(s) to all persons. The antenna(s) must not
be co-located with any other antenna or transmitter (simultaneous transmission) as well. If this
cannot be met, a Permissive Change as described below must be made to the grant.
☞
In order to support verification activities that may be required by certification laboratories,
customers applying for Class-II Permissive changes must implement the setup described in
Software
and the JODY-W1 radio test guide, application note [11].
5.2.3.1
Separation distance
If the required separation distance of 20 cm cannot be fulfilled, a SAR evaluation must be performed.
This consists of additional calculations and/or measurements. The result must be added to the grant
file as a Class II Permissive Change.
5.2.3.2
Co-location (simultaneous transmission)
If the module is to be co-located with another transmitter, additional measurements for simultaneous
transmission are required. The results must be added to the grant file as a Class II Permissive Change.
5.2.3.3
Adding a new antenna for authorization
If the authorized antennas and/or antenna trace design cannot be used, the new antenna and/or
antenna trace designs must be added to the grant file. This is done by a Class I Permissive Change or
a Class II Permissive Change, depending on the specific antenna and antenna trace design.
• Antennas of the same type and with less or same gain as an already approved antenna can be
added under a Class I Permissive Change.
• Antenna trace designs deviating from the u-blox reference design and new antenna types are
added under a Class II Permissive Change.
• For 5 GHz modules, the combined minimum gain of antenna trace and antenna must be greater
than 0 dBi to comply with DFS testing requirements.
⚠
Integrators with the intention to refer to the u-blox FCC ID / ISED certification ID must
their local u-blox support team to discuss the Permissive Change Process. Class II Permissive
Changes will be subject to NRE costs.
