NORA-W36 data sheet
⚠
The EIRP of the NORA-W36 module must not exceed the limits of the regulatory domain that the
module operates in. Depending on the host platform’s implementation and antenna gain,
integrators have to limit the maximum output power of the module through the application
software. Refer to the NORA-W36 data sheet
and the corresponding maximum transmit power
levels in the

FCC/ISED End-product regulatory compliance (pending)
u-blox represents that the modular transmitter fulfills the FCC/ISED regulations when operating in
authorized modes on any host product given that the integrator follows the instructions as described
in this document. Accordingly, the host product manufacturer acknowledges that all host products
referring to the FCC ID or ISED certification number of the modular transmitter and placed on the
market by the host product manufacturer need to fulfil all of the requirements mentioned below. Non-
compliance with these requirements may result in revocation of the FCC approval and removal of the
host products from the market. These requirements correspond to questions featured in the FCC
guidance for software security requirements for U-NII devices, FCC OET KDB 594280 D02
⚠
The modular transmitter approval of NORA-W36, or any other radio module, does not exempt the
end product from being evaluated against applicable regulatory demands.
