Eligibility Requirements for Regulatory
Module Approval
Introduction
The Intel Personal Wireless Module(Ambler) with Bluetooth wireless technology is a radio device
that transmits and receives radio signals in accordance with the spectrum regulations for the 2.4-GHz
unlicensed frequency range. Regulatory approval is required for each country throughout the world
where the end-user wishes to operate the Intel Personal Wireless Module(Ambler) and communicate
to other Bluetooth devices.
As part of Intel’s solution for Bluetooth wireless technology in mobile PCs, Intel will provide
regulatory approvals for certain countries in the form of a Modular Approval (MA)grant, which
can be utilized by PC manufacturers. A modular grant allows the OEM to insert an approved
device/antenna interconnection/antenna into a laptop without the need for additional regulatory
equipment certification. In the case of laptops, where many models may exist, this form of
certification can represent a significant savings in terms of cost and time. The countries that can
accept this form of approval include the US, Canada, and certain European counties. The conditions
for approval for each of these countries is described below.
Obtaining Modular Approval is not a requirement. If an Intel customer uses a unique antenna or
antenna interconnect design, that customer may file for standard type approval in the country or
countries of interest. This method will require the testing of the entire end product, and hence may
be more time consuming expensive.
The MA is only valid in countries that have accepted the MA process. For countries that have not
accepted the MA process, PC manufacturers must submit the laptop for a conventional radio
transmitter type-approval for each country of interest. PC manufacturers may disregard the
requirements of this section if they accept the full responsibility for regulatory type-approval of the
electronic device with an integrated Intel Personal Wireless Module(Ambler).
