Hi Anders I would try and contact the FCC OET Knowledge Data Base or maybe send them an email directly. You could also talk to your TCB. There may be a way that you could work with the manufacturer to submit a Permissive Change for the module to meet your devices needs. I seem to recall that this has been a successful way that someone worked around a similar issue. Although I must state that it was quite some time ago when I heard this and my memory may not be perfect on it and / or the rules may have changed since then if it was the case. In any case - you would have to do radiated tests that would make sure that the issues that John and Tim mentioned are considered and that the co-located transmitters continue to comply with the applicable regulations. Again - a disclaimer - just a possible path - not exactly sure what hoops you would have to jump through to make it happen but it could be a possible solution. Best regards, Mac
_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anders Svensson B Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 4:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: FCC co-location Dear experts, I have found that the FCC grants (FCC part 15) for WLAN modules and GSM modules have a restriction that says that they must not be co-located with other antenna or transmitter. In our coming product we have two modules which is co-located, how do we solve this problem? Our thoughts right now is to use the modules FCC grants and do a FCC Self Declaration for the transmitting part for our units (i.e. no own FCC id for our product). For my understanding: Why do the modules FCC grants have this restrictions? Can the manufacturer update the FCC grants without this restrictions and that are needed for that? Have we any more solutions to solve this? Any inputs is very much appreciated Thanks Regards Anders - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
