FCC Modular Certification Considerations
Novanta has obtained FCC modular certification for the ThingMagic M3e module. This means that the
module can be installed in different end-use products by another equipment manufacturer with limited or no
additional testing or equipment authorization for the transmitter function provided by that specific module.
Specifically:
• No additional transmitter-compliance testing is required if the module is operated with antennas
meeting the requirements listed in the FCC filing.
• No additional transmitter-compliance testing is required if the module is operated with the same type of
antenna as listed in the FCC filing, as long as it has equal or lower gain than the antenna listed.
Equivalent antennas must be of the same general type, and must have similar in-band and out-of-band
characteristics (consult specification sheet for cutoff frequencies).
If the antenna is of a different type or has higher gain than the max listed in the module’s FCC filing,
see Authorized Antennas
, a class II permissive change must be requested from the FCC. Contact us at
