nRF7002 - QuickTrack certification

Gabriele

Hi,

I've developed a Bluetooth LE + Wi-Fi handeld medical product to be sold worldwide by Q2 2024.
The HW platform includes two precertified modules from u-blox, namely NORA-106 (based on nRF5340) and NINA-W132 (based on ESP32). The module to module communication is AT-command like over the SPI link.
The recent introduction of nRF7002 makes my choice sub-optimal, because an "all NORDIC" solution nRF5340 + nRF7002 would be certainly preferable in terms of flexibiliy, DFU management, dual band mode, etc.
To keep the end price low and board occupation at minimum I thought that soldering the nRF7002 directly on the PCB would be fine. In this case I would tightly replicate the NORDIC indications for BOM, PCB antenna layout, etc.
The problem is how to sustain the certification costs if the expected volume is limited to few thousands ?
I come to my question. Does the NORDIC Qualified Solution's based QuickTrack process toward a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 end roduct help us to cut out these costs for the Wi-Fi part ?

Thank you

    Hi Gabriele,

    We actually have a infocenter page for this which shows you the path for certification that can fit your product based on the changes you do in hardware/firmware from our certified offering.

    To answer your question

    Does the NORDIC Qualified Solution's based QuickTrack process toward a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 6 end roduct help us to cut out these costs for the Wi-Fi part ?

    It looks like your changes fit into 

    If the changes are confined to the following components, QuickTrack Conformance testing is sufficient.

Operating System
Physical interface
RF components
Antenna

    So it should be enough for you to do Quicktrack Core and Conformance tests.

    And what about the accomplishment with Part 15 of the FCC Rules (for US), or the ISED’s license-exempt RSS standards (for Canada), and the like for France, South Korea, Japan ?
    Usually these are included into a off-the-shelf pre-certified third-party module and we, as OEM integrator of the module, are just responsible for labelling and testing our end-product for any additional compliance requirements (for example, basic safety and EMC emissions).

    Will QuickTrack Conformance testing provide the radio standards accomplishment for all countries ?
