Wireless Approvals
The Multi-Tech SocketModem is Industry and/or Carrier Approved as an End Product modem. When
integrated and used with an antenna system that was part of the Multi-Tech modem certification, no
additional approvals or certification are required (however, CDMA has a few exceptions) for the
device you develop as long as the following are met:
•
PTCRB Requirements:
The antenna system
cannot
be altered.
•
Model Identification:
IMPORTANT
When the wireless carrier asks you to provide the modem's model identification,
give the Multi-Tech wireless model identification, not the identification of the host
device.
See the label example below.
The Multi-Tech model identification allows the carrier to verify the modem as one of its
approved models.
This information is located on the modem's label.
