NRF7002 antenna design recommendation for RED certification

[Benjaminaxiles]

Hello,

Is the NRF7002 pre-certified for the RADIO EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE 2014/53/EU (RED directive) ? 

Is there a recommended antenna design that would ease certify a product using the the NRF7002 ?

Thanks,

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

Please take a look at the RED documentation. You can see that it applies for the end product and not the SoC in itself. So you would need to get your final product, which contains the nRF7002 , certified.

You can also go through the RED certification guide here: https://view-su3.highspot.com/viewer/db1975e0a7ad0ec81e55dba778edc10c#1

Hi Priyanka,

Thanks for the quick reply. 

I see that other SoC manufacturer provide a certificate for their SoC (see espressif here).

You do not provide somehting equivalent ?

Thanks,

H Benjamin,

I am checking internally whether something similar is available and will get back to you.

Hi Benjamin,

Sorry, but we cannot offer anything here. The example you mention is for an Espressif module, where the antenna is included. 

Also, Our module partners will have pre-certified modules with the nRF7002: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Resources/Nordic-Partners/Third-party-modules#wifi
