Approvals
☞
For all the certificates of compli
ancy and for the complete list of approvals (including countries’
and network operators’ approvals) of
LISA-U2 series modules, see our website (
) or contact the u-blox office or sales representative nearest you.
Product certification approval is the process of certifying that a product has passed all tests and
criteria required by specifica
tions, typically called “certification schemes” that can be divided into
three distinct categories:
•
Regulatory certification
o
Country specific approval required by local government in most regions and countries, as:
▪
CE (Conformité Européenne) marking for European Union
▪
FCC (Federal Communications Commission) approval for United States
•
Industry conformance certification
o
Telecom industry specific approval verifying interoperability between devices and networks:
▪
GCF (Global Certification Forum), partnership between device manufacturers and network
operators to ensure and verify global interoperability between devices and networks
▪
PTCRB (PCS Type Certification Review Board), created by United States network operators
to ensure and verify interoperability between devices and North America networks
•
Operator certification
o
Operator specific approval required by some mobile network operator:
▪
AT&T network operator in United States
Even if LISA-U2 modules are approved under all major certification schemes, the application device
that integrates LISA-U2 modules must be approved under all the certification schemes required by
the specific application device to be deployed in the market.
The required certification scheme approvals and the related testing specifications differ depending
on the country or the region where the device that integrates LISA-U2 modules will be deployed, on
the corresponding vertical market of the device, on the type, features and functionalities of the whole
application device, and on the network operators where the device must operate.
☞
The certification of the application device that integrates a LISA-U2 module and the compliance
of the application device with all the applicable certification schemes, directives and standards
are the sole responsibility of the application device manufacturer.
LISA-U2 modules are certified according to all capabilities and options stated in the Protocol
Implementation Conformance Statement document (PICS) of the module. The PICS, according to
3GPP TS 51.010-2
, is a statement of the implemented and supported
capabilities and options of a device.
☞
The PICS document of the application device integrating LISA-U2 series modules must be
updated from the module PICS statement if any feature stated as supported by the module in its
PICS document is not implemented or disabled in the application device. For more details
regarding the AT commands settings that affect the PICS, see u-blox AT commands manual
☞
Check the specific settings required for mobile network operators approvals as they may differ
from the AT commands settings defined in the module as integrated in the application device.
