Regulatory Approvals 

 

The  Iridium  Certus

TM 

9770  Transceiver  is  a  regulatory  approved  module  that  can  be  fitted  within  an 

enclosed host system. With appropriate external connections, the host system can be designed to meet 
full transceiver regulatory tests and sold as a Regulatory Certified product that meets CE, FCC and IC 
requirements. 

The Iridium Certus

TM 

9770 is tested to the regulatory and technical certifications shown in Table 2 (See 

Note below).  

The Iridium Certus

TM 

9770 is certified as a module for non-portable applications 

– i.e. those that do not 

combine the Iridium Certus

TM 

9770 with another radio element and have an intended separation distance 

of  over  30  cm  from  a  person.  The  OEM  integrator  is  responsible  for  ensuring  that  their  end-product 
complies  with  additional  compliance  requirements  required  with  this  module  installed,  such  as  digital 
device/unintentional  emissions  requirements  and  any  additional  potential  RF  exposure  requirements, 
such as portable use or co-location requirements.
