Hi,

1. I believe you just refer to that ID, yes. You might want to run it by the module producer though as we really have little experience with qualifying their products.

2. If you follow our reference design closely you can list your product and refer to our end-product QDID. We still recommend that you test the RF-PHY to have your back covered. No need to re-qualify, just test and save the logs.

3. Not exactly, we can test the RF performance of your design and suggest any BOM/PCB changes needed and tune your antenna. This to make sure that when you apply for regulatory certification (FCC/ETSI) your design is optimized for best possible performance and is compliant with regards to harmonic and spurious emissions, meaning you should not run any risk of failing the certification.

4. Only if you otherwise would have failed the certification, meaning you would need to make changes to your design and reapply.

5. In practice no, we can not make any changes to the module.

6. Unless you get a 'volume discount' at the test house: no, these are different tests.

Best regards,

Andreas
