Technology

There are many different technology module options on the market, such as Wi-Fi 6/6E, Bluetooth, 4G LTE, 5G NR, etc.
The most frequently encountered marketing term is “This module has FCC certificated or FCC pre-test”.
However, could products made with these modules enjoy the benefits of full FCC certification approval?

First, let us introduce what is a full module policy.
U.S. FCC divides module policies into 3 types:

1.  Full module approval
   A radio module to be approved for use in any host and sold to anyone
2. Limited modular approval
   A radio module to be approved for restricted use
3. Split modular approval
   A radio module where the transmitter firmware is held on a host

FCC Full Module Approval

According to the fully recognized module provided by FCC Part 15.212. This module will have an FCC ID. Product users can directly use the built-in FCC ID: AAABCDEF (Contains FCC ID: AAABCDEF) only when the product is made from a module, without the need to reapply for the FCC in the finished product section. This is the benefit of using the full module recognition.
