Open-Q 835 µSOM Modular Certification TechNote77 OEM Integrator Guide

Rev. 1.1

7. SIMULTANEOUS TRANSMISSION WITH OTHER INTEGRATED

OR PLUG-IN RADIOS

The FCC and IC impose conditions and limitations when additional radio(s) are co-located

in the same host system as the Module with capability to transmit simultaneously. Co-

locating other radios such as an integrated or plug in Wireless WAN/cellular radio with the

Module requires additional evaluation and possibly submission for authorization from the

FCC and IC.

Because the rules are highly dependent on the characteristics of the particular radios that are

co-located and simultaneously transmitting, the OEM integrator should seek guidance from

a knowledgeable test lab or consultant to determine if additional testing and certification is

required. In this case, failure to evaluate and follow the required FCC and IC procedures will

invalidate the FCC and IC certifications of the Module and end system.

8. MODULE MAY NOT BE INSTALLED BY END USERS

FCC and IC rules require this Module to be installed in host systems at the factory by the

OEM integrator. Thus, end users of the system may not install the Module. Therefore, the

host product user instructions must not advise the end user on how to access or remove the

Module. Additional FCC authorization/filing is needed to allow end user installation of the

radio modules.

If modules are provided to the end users for installation in the host, a two-way

authentication protocol is required to limit the module to operate only with the authorized

host system.

9. REQUIRED LABELING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOST

9.1 FCC Labeling Requirements on the Outside of the Host

The FCC requires a label on the outside of the host system visible to the end user. Example

wording is:

Contains:

FCC ID: 2AFDI-ITCOQ835S

IC: 9049A-ITCOQ835S
