By providing FCC modular approval on the Airborne WLN modules, the
customers are relieved of any need to perform FCC part15 subpart C Intentional
Radiator testing and certification, except where they wish to use an antenna that
is not already certified.
B&B supports a group of pre-approved antenna; use of one of these antennas
eliminates the need to do any further subpart C testing or certification. If an
antenna is not on the list, it is a simple process to add it to the pre-approved list
without having to complete a full set of emissions testing. Please contact B&B
Technical support for details of our qualification processes.
Please note that as part of the FCC requirements for the use of the modular
approval, the installation of any antenna must require a professional installer.
This is to prevent any non-authorized antenna being used with the radio. There
are ways to support this requirement but the most popular is to utilize a non-
standard antenna connector, this designation includes the reverse polarity
versions of the most popular RF antenna types (SMA, TNC, etc.). For more
details please contact B&B.
