Hi Cynthia, In the US, all of Europe and Australia, I have only had to upgrade the approval, keeping the same approval number. The modem would have to have its transmission levels tested at the new data rates as well as some of the other power measurements.
The only problems I had were when a significant amount of time had passed between upgrades and the approval spec had changed. The existing approval would continue to be valid but any upgrade would require a complete test against the new spec.
