DOC Approvals (Canada)
The MI4800 is certified for use in accordance with RSS-210 and RSS-139-1. Spread spectrum systems in the
2.4GHz range operating completely indoors or outdoors above 2450MHz do not require licensing. Those systems
operating partially or completely outdoors below 2450MHz may require a license to operate. Additional
information can be found in the CPC-2-0-01 Guidelines for Submission of Applications and the IC 2365BB
Application for License to Install and Operate a Radio Transmitter. The Canadian Radio Approval number for the
MI4800 is still pending as of the publication date of this document.
If the OEM wishes to use an Aironet approved radio and antenna combination, the OEM will be required to have the
entire OEM product tested, but no formal application for approval is necessary except "multi-listing" of the radio
for use in the OEM product. If product qualification (EMC approval) is required, the OEM will submit his
application to the DOC and reference the appropriate Aironet file. Aironet will interface with the Canadian
authorities to update the files with the proper information for certification.
The OEM has the option of submitting his own application to the DOC in which case Aironet will provide
information on the radio and antenna to the DOC. Any future changes to the OEM product can be done without
contacting Aironet since the product registration will be in the OEM name.
If the OEM is using a third-party antenna, the OEM will be required to file the test report and application with the
DOC on the OEM product, and Aironet will send any necessary confidential information directly to the Canadian
DOC.
ETSI Approvals (Europe)
General Information
Based on the recent changes in the interpretation of the certification of radio modules by the European Union, the
MI4800 will now have modular approval. The maximum power rating for ETSI is 100mW EIRP.
Depending on the product and antenna used, the installation of the radio may or may not require the OEM to obtain a
separate radio type approval certificate for the OEM product. It is the OEM's responsibility to contact the European
local authorities, Competent Body or Notified Body test lab to determine what applicable standards need to be
applied for the product. The OEM can obtain the appropriate approval numbers and copy of certifications of the
radio from their Aironet Sales agent.
The OEM will be required to test the OEM product with the radio installed to the requirements of EN 55022, EN
50082-1 and the Low Voltage Directive. The MI4800 is designed to meet EN 55022 Class B levels. However, any
additional shielding or filtering required to bring the overall product into compliance is the responsibility of the
OEM.
If the customer must obtain a separate type approval number, the product will be required to be tested in a European
lab for both ETS 300.328 and ETS 300.826. The Low Voltage Directive testing does not need to be done in
Europe. Aironet will send the required confidential information directly to the authorities and reference the OEM's
type approval test file number.
300.328 Type Approval
This is the actual test of the radio and antenna system for approval to be used in the European Radio Spectrum. The
lab will do one complete test and then prepare the necessary number of reports that are required for submission in
each country to obtain approval. The test labs can provide the address and contacts for each country's regulatory
authority. Type approval can take from 5 weeks to 8 months or more depending on the country.
