1) New grant
Labeling: A single ‘New’ FCC ID covers the host and the integrated module.
In this approach the host manufacturer will have the system (host and module) evaluated to
all the applicable FCC requirements. A new FCC ID is obtained to cover this assessment. This
option is the responsibility of the host manufacturer.
2) Class I or a Class II permissive change
Labeling: The Enfora/Novatel Wireless FCC ID appears on the host device.
This section provides module and antenna installation guidelines for host devices to be
authorized for use with the (M2M module here) module through the FCC Class I or Class II
Permissive Change process. As the grantee Enfora/Novatel Wireless is responsible for all
integrations and must be consulted on all regulatory matters involving the GSM0308.
The module was originally granted by the FCC as a single modular approval. The technical
specifications of the integrations will determine the scope of work to cover the integrations.
1) The M2M module can be installed as a standalone transmitter in devices as a Class I
permissive change meeting the following conditions:
a. >20cm separation distance is provided between the M2M transmitting antenna
and the end user at all times.
b. All other intentional radiators within the host device must be evaluated:
i. An antenna location diagram for the host device must be provided,
showing locations of all transmitting antennas and the separation
distance of other transmitting antennas from the M2M antenna
ii. A list of FCC ID’s for all collocated transmitters must be provided.
iii. Datasheets for all collocated transmitting antenna(s) must be
provided, showing manufacturer part number, and peak gain (dBi)
c. The host PCB trace that carries the RF from the module to the external antenna
connector must be evaluated against the design guides. Strict adherence to the
design parameters in the design guides must be observed for a Class I permissive
change to be considered.
d. The antenna gain cannot exceed the following to qualify as a Class I permissive
change:
i. 850MHz: 4.5dBi
