6.1
General requirements
NORA-W36 series modules are designed to comply with the regulatory demands of Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada (ISED)
and the CE mark. This chapter contains instructions on the process needed for an integrator when
including the NORA-W36 module into an end-product.
•
Any deviation from the process described may cause the NORA-W36 series module not to comply
with the regulatory authorizations of the module and thus void the user
’
s authority to operate the
equipment.
•
Any changes to hardware, hosts or co-location configuration may require new radiated emission
and SAR evaluation and/or testing.
•
The regulatory compliance of NORA-W36 series module does not exempt the end-product from
being evaluated against applicable regulatory demands. For example, FCC Part 15B criteria for
unintentional radiators
•
The end-product manufacturer must follow all the engineering and operating guidelines as
specified by the grantee (u-blox).
•
The NORA-W36 is for OEM integrators only.
•
Only authorized antenna(s) may be used. Refer to the list of
. In the end-
product, the NORA-W36 series module must be installed in such a way that only authorized
antennas can be used.
•
For end products using the NORA-W361, the end-product must use the specified antenna trace
reference design, as described in the
NORA-W361 U.FL reference design
•
Any notification to the end user about how to install or remove the integrated radio module is NOT
allowed.
•
Electromagnetic interference compatibility (EMI / EMC) and spurious emissions tests are required
for end-products targeted for most world regions.
⚠
If these conditions cannot be met or any of the operating instructions are violated, the u-blox
regulatory authorization will be considered invalid. Under these circumstances, the integrator is
responsible to re-evaluate the end-product including the NORA-W36 series module and obtain
their own regulatory authorization, or u-blox may be able to support updates of the u-blox
regulatory authorization. See also
