Hello, Given: A product that has a front panel and a main board. The front panel (along with USB and other electronics) also includes the WiFI circuitry and antenna connectors. The main board also integrates (on board) a RF4CE radio for remote functionality.
Scenario: As the result of a cost reduction effort, the main board has been redesigned and a new cheaper RF4CE radio circuit included - however there are *NO* changes to the front panel. Of course the RF4CE radio will be tested to ensure compliance to FCC regulations, however as the WiFi radio has not changed - there is a desire NOT to repeat the extensive WiFi testing that has already been previously done. A query was made to a TCB as to whether the previous WiFi data could be used in addition with the new RF4CE data to apply for a new FCCID. Question: Does anyone know why this approach would not be acceptable??
