Hi,

1. The certificate we have can be found on the page I sent in the last reply. Listed under the MIC certification list.

2. The antenna does not need a radio certification, as it's not a radio. The certification is for the radio/nRF91 and it's valid for the costumer design as long as they use an antenna with the same or less gain as us.

Best regards,
Kaja

Hi Kaja,

1. Can you provide the TELEC certificate to the customer?

2. Does the customer's own antenna need to be re-certified?

Thank you very much.
Kind regards,

Hi,

have a look at our certification page and look under MIC.

"Japan’s TELEC regulatory approval requires the use of antennas with less than 3 dBi gain in any direction. This is a non-exhaustive list of antennas we expect to meet that requirement. Please follow the reference design from the antenna vendor."

The antenna declaration is for an antenna with 2.6 dBi in gain, so as long as you have an antenna with the same or less gain, you can reference/use our MIC certification.

Best regards,
Kaja
